Super Clean 40k Mile 1983 Chrysler Cordoba

40k-Mile 1960 Lincoln Premiere

Elvis Presley’s Final Caddy: 1977 Cadillac Seville
It is no secret that Elvis Presley loved Cadillacs. It would be equally fair to assume that the company held Elvis in high regard. It is believed that throughout his life, The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll purchased over… more»
28k-Mile 4-Door Survivor: 1974 Ford LTD

“Drive It Home”: 1963 Imperial Crown
Ah, to be a fly on the wall in Chrysler Corporation’s styling department in the early 1960s, where asymmetrical and anachronistic sketches were immediately stamped “OK” and sent to the sculptors. OK, that’s an exaggeration, but there’s a refreshing… more»
Garage Find: 1994 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur III
Who remembers the TV show, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous? It was hosted by England’s Robin Leach, and you could expect to see him tooling around in a car like this 1994 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur (III). It was… more»
Factory 455: 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
You don’t have to look long or hard to realize that the first owner wasn’t afraid to splash their cash when ordering this 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. The range-topping V8 is the most obvious sign, while the interior is… more»
Woodie Drop-Top: 1984 Chrysler LeBaron
The 1980s Chrysler LeBaron was based on the company’s new K-Car platform. And the lineup included a convertible, the first U.S. production drop-top since the Cadillac Eldorado in 1976. A special “woodie” version called the Town & Country was… more»

7k-Mile Time Capsule: 1989 Chrysler TC by Maserati
I know, I know, a collaboration between Chrysler and Maserati was a head scratcher 35 years ago and still is. Lee Iacocca, then Chrysler’s CEO, had more hits than misses in his long, storied automotive career. But his attempt… more»
German GT Project: 1979 Porsche 928

Parked Since ’70: 1956 Lincoln Premiere
When I first saw the listing for this 1956 Lincoln Premier, which is mislabeled as a 1956 Lincoln Continental, I thought, “OK, another Continental Mark II.” Nope, this one’s a Premiere four-door sedan, one of 19K assembled 68 long… more»
