Family Car – 1963 Cadillac Sedan DeVille

December 12, 2013

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.

80s Pimpin’ – 1988 Isuzu I-Mark Turbo Sedan

December 11, 2013

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.

Not Oh-Pal – 1974 Opel Ascona and 1971 Opel Manta

December 3, 2013

Opels were a not uncommon car back when they were just used cars, but now the youngest ones sold in the US are at least 38 years old, and in their primary role as affordable runabouts, most have disappeared from the roads. However, as most European cars do, they attracted an enthusiast contingent, including one man who has hoarded accumulated a significant collection in warehouses and outdoor lots. Technically, he can’t be called a hoarder since he’s “selling”, although quite a few of his cars are priced to look like they’re waiting for when the rising Porsche tide floats his Opel boats. Of course, in many cases, “where are you going to find another?” is the only response to that statement. You can find his 1974 Opel Ascona A 2-door for sale in Riverside, CA for $1500.
