Have you ever heard people say that a car is such a big boat it needs a tender/dinghy? The Cadillac just featured could easily be a candidate for that strategy, what with the excessive length and depressing fuel mileage. Fortunately, we’re thinking about you here at RustyButTrusty, and to prove it, here’s a 1959 Hillman Husky for sale in Puyallup, WA for $2800.
The 1960s are arguably one of the high-water points in terms of American automotive design leadership. Evolving out of the ridiculous excess of the 1950s, they were pulling a full 180 and going for clean and minimalist (if not small) designs, key among them the Buick Riviera, Studebaker Avanti, Oldsmobile Toronado, and Lincoln Continental. In 1963, that revolution was just going public, and on an early 1960s Cadillac you can see it happening. Check out this 1963 Cadillac Sedan DeVille for sale in Houston, TX for $4000.
Recently departed Isuzu (if you didn’t notice, they left North America in 2009) was most recently known for producing a range of SUVs and trucks running from the boring to the weird, but from the 1970s to the 1990s, they were involved in the production of passenger cars, including some fairly interesting models like the Impulse/Piazza. As with many other manufacturers, they jumped on the turbocharging bandwagon, even with their T-platform car, the I-Mark. You can find this 1988 Isuzu I-Mark Turbo sedan in Lompoc, CA with bidding at $560 and 1 1/2 days to go, or a Buy-it-Now price of $2300.
