What marriage taught me about cars
Today marks my Second wedding anniversary. If you asked my wife, Eli, what it's like to live with me, she'd probably tell you that I can somehow associate anything, no matter how random, with a car. I didn't need to go out of my way to understand our shared history because we already spent so much time in a variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs. Through these experiences, I learned the following lessons: things have changed Photo credit: Nissan The week my wife and I went on our first date, I was testing a Nissan Titan XD with a 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. Wanting to impress her, I told her I was reviewing a new pickup truck that I could use to pick her up. She gave me the address of her apartment building and the rest is history. I didn't expect to see her there at the time, but that was nearly ten years ago. These days, women seem…

Shelby American shows us the 2024 Baja Raptor
Even before a new car After the launch, the company behind it asked, "What's next?" It started thinking about the limitations of the upcoming model and how to overcome them in the next generation. Apparently, when Shelby American looked at the Ford F-150 Raptor and Raptor R and asked this question, the answer was "more." Shelby American President Gary Patterson explains what exactly that means by giving us a closer look at the 2024 Baja Raptor R, one of two models in the company's new Baja Raptor lineup.

Barrett-Jackson has long been a supporter of the next generation of collector car owners. After all, this hobby needs to continue for decades to come. This is my story from the Future Collectible Car Show (FCCS) in January. Just nine months later, we're back at FCCS again for the Westworld Barrett-Jackson 2024 Scottsdale Fall Auction.

This distribution illustrates the concept that there is no right or wrong answer for year or type of car someone chooses to save and display.

Appearing in Barrett-Jackson: 1953 Allstate
our modern world has brought about the opportunity to order cars over the Internet, but this is not necessarily a new concept. Sears, a department store giant whose catalog was arguably the Amazon before Amazon, also used to sell cars — as did its own brands. One of these cars just sold at Barrett-Jackson's 2024 Scottsdale Fall Auction. Allstate was sold by Sears in 1952-53 and disappeared without a trace. Built in conjunction with Kaiser-Frazer, the Allstate is basically a badge-engineered version of the Kaiser Henry J. Four- and six-cylinder versions are available, all with styling and interior tweaks to distinguish them from using Henry J/Allstate-branded components other than Sears' Allstate, such as spark plugs, tires and batteries. Since Kaiser-Frazer's contract with Sears stipulates the sale of 1,000 vehicles per year as part of a test market, Allstate sold about 2,000 vehicles in total. The one featured at Barrett-Jackson's 2024 Scottsdale fall auction was originally a 134ci Continental Quad '53…

On display at Barrett-Jackson: 1956 Pontiac Chieftain Wagon
Owns more than 1,000 vehicles There are plenty of beautiful things to choose from at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Fall Auctions, from dazzling restorations and over-the-top restorations to more basic fare. I've always admired the latter because it's nice to see cars that were once common but are no longer common. Station wagons are high on that list, and this 1956 Pontiac is worth checking out. Finished in Camellia and Phantom Gray Metallic, this Chieftain wagon looks pristine and is one of several 1956 Pontiac dealerships to sell. The Chieftain range includes the 860 and 870 estates, both of which are remnants of an old era when manufacturers used numbers that looked odd but had no context. The wagon was initially the 860 two-door wagon and later the 860 four-door wagon, offering three rows of seating. The more upscale 870 four-door wagon offers only two rows of seats. 1956 Pontiac Safari Pontiac has another station wagon in its lineup, this one…

Super Cats: Mercury Cougar Troika – 1968, 1969, 1970
AutoHunter Cinema Presents Three Mercury Cougars have been introduced for three consecutive years, although model year isn't the only distinguishing feature. One of these was a 427-equipped 1968 GT-E, a one-year-old performance car that was the only (and last) FoMoCo to receive a 427 that year. The other, a '69 car with a Cobra Jet, was a giveaway from Car Craft magazine and perfectly captured the culture of the time. Finally, there's the '70 Eliminator, which combines top-end performance options with a special black paint, a color not offered on the Eliminator.

Which 'Cuda is better? AutoHunter Cinema compares the performance version of the 1970 Barracuda to the facelifted 1971 model.

Introduced in 1990, the Chevrolet 454 SS predated the first-generation Ford F-150 SVT lightning and long before the Viper V10-powered Dodge Ram SRT-10. It set the template for sport trucks of the time: a single-cab pickup with plenty of power under the hood, a short bed and rear-wheel drive. Chevrolet initially offered a C1500 with the top-of-the-line Silverado trim and a 6.5-foot short…
