Pick of the Day: Mercury Colony Park, 1965
do you know What was the best-selling station wagon of the 1960s? If you're talking about the Ford Country Squire, you're right. So how to top the country's best-selling station wagon? Chevrolet and Plymouth may have an idea, but the answer to the question may also be found in Dearborn with a more prestigious marque, as evidenced by our Daily Pick, a 1965 Mercury Park Lane. It is listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a dealer in St. Louis, Missouri. (Click this link to view the list.) Mercury's Colony Park first hit the market in 1957, the year that dream car design distinguished the Mercury line. It was also at that time that the brand dropped its ties to Ford and Lincoln, making it unique among FoMoCo vehicles. That didn't last long due to the Edsel's fiasco, and the Mercury ended up becoming a more upscale Ford within a few years, even touting itself as a "better low-price car." Having…
Pick of the Day: 1969 Pontiac GTO
Pontiac GTO was the king of muscle cars, creating the template for the market and becoming the best-selling model for the better part of a decade. However, by 1969, the market was different and the GTO was no longer the top seller in the segment. Our Daily Pick is one of those fallen goats, a 1969 Pontiac GTO listed on ClassicCars.com for sale by a dealer in Volo, Illinois. (Click this link to view the list) In terms of sales, the Pontiac GTO's best model year was 1966, a time when sales of other models on the market were growing rapidly: a staggering 96,946 cars were produced. This was a record that no other car in the segment could come close to at the time. The second-best model year was 1968 with 87,685 units sold, which is impressive considering the segment is more crowded and many competing models are also having their best sales years. But then along came the…
1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa Tribute
when you purchase When it comes to a collector car, deciding who to buy it from can sometimes be almost as important as the car itself. In my experience, dealing with an honest and knowledgeable seller is the difference between buying a good car or a bad one. In the world of the Chevrolet Corvair, one of the best sellers I've ever met in the industry is Chris Shade of Shade Classic Cars in Hastings, Nebraska. He's the kind of guy who not only tells you which of his cars to buy, but also asks you what you expect from the car and tells you not to buy it if it doesn't suit you. Chris is also a legitimate Corvair expert and has a personal collection of Corvairs. He also restored, rebuilt, raced and showed the cars. That being said, today's pick is a tribute to the 1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa (please ignore the incorrect title at the top of…
1949 Buick Roadmaster station wagon
Main uses of cars It is to transport people and things from one place to another. Some people buy them as investments or collectibles but never drive them. It's their money and they can do whatever they want with it. But I think cars should be driven. However, I would make an exception if I owned a 1949 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon that a St. Louis, Missouri, dealer posted as a "Daily Pick" for sale on ClassicCars.com. It's so beautiful that I won't put as many miles on it as I would on other cars because I'll spend a lot of time just looking at it. There are two main reasons. For one, this Roadmaster is a great chapter in American automotive history, dating back to when Buick was still making cars rather than exclusively SUVs. It also comes from a station wagon (and property horse-drawn carriages) were more common on U.S. roads when four-wheel drive or just appearance For…
Pick of the Day: 1969 Pontiac Custom S
Have you ever thought about anything? What are product planners thinking? Why did Dodge give a four-door car a name (Charger) that is associated with a very sporty two-door car? Why is Ford letting people think its electric car is a Mustang? Our Daily Pick is a prime example from the Pontiac world: the 1969 Custom S. This car for sale on ClassicCars.com is listed by a dealer in Greensboro, North Carolina. (Click the link to see the list) As you know, the Pontiac Tempest was one of three "premium compact cars" launched by General Motors in 1961.

Unconventional in the case of the Tempest were a transaxle for fine weight distribution, an independent rear suspension, and the choice of a unique four-cylinder engine (half a 389 V8) or Buick's aluminum V8. Later in…
1967 Chevrolet Chevrolet SS 396

According to the selling dealer, this Chevelle was purchased about 40 years ago by an engine builder who dreamed of putting a big, damaged V8 engine in it. After he purchased the Capri-Cream-over-gold-vinyl coupe, he repainted it black and replaced the original Turbo-Jet 396 with a 502 and drilled it into a 509. The builder considered other modifications (notably a supercharger), but he died before completing the build. Luckily, his daughter stepped in and turned the Chevelle into the car he wanted. There were still many parts that needed to be installed, so she took her father's car to a…
Pick of the Day: 1964 Pontiac Catalina Sports Coupe
I once saw a car Never really intrigued you, but colors are so appealing to you? That's how we felt after seeing our Daily Pick, this 1964 Pontiac Catalina Sport Coupe. A private seller in Prattville, Alabama, listed the car for sale on ClassicCars.com. (Click the link to see the list) The 1964 full-size Pontiac received a nice facelift after the 1963 debut of vertical headlights. No other manufacturer in Detroit adopted such design elements, although many others would follow suit. While the 1963 Pontiac looked light on its feet and barely there compared to its contemporaries, the 1964 model looked a little crisper, hardening what might have been a softer edge before. The headlight housing is now closed and rounded. At the rear of the car, the French "boomerang" taillights realize last year's hint. A strong character line emerges from the taillights, extending lengthwise and laterally to the doors. The look was strong, but pale in comparison to what…
Pick of the Day: 1958 Buick Century Caballero
Chevrolet Nomad The Pontiac Safari introduced hardtop styling to the station wagon line, although purists would argue that they were not proper hardtops due to the pillars in front of the rear passengers. However, other manufacturers jumped on board to produce their own hardtop vans. Arguably the biggest tank of the bunch is our Daily Pick, a 1958 Buick Century Caballero. It is listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a dealer in New Richmond, Wisconsin. (Click the link to see the list.) In 1957, Buick introduced two different hardtop station wagons.

Pick of the Day: 1956 Studebaker Pinehurst
can you think of it A manufacturer that had great success with styling, only to waste it? Chrysler comes to mind because several of the company's 1961 models were far removed from the stunning '57s. However, the 1957 and 1961 Imperials were from different generations. Our pick today is a Studebaker, a car that's of the same generation although it's lost the muscular styling of a few years ago.

Studebaker thrived after World War II because it was "by far the first post-war automobile."…

1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6
there are many There are a lot of one-off items on the market, but everyone has at least one thing that I call a legacy: something that you keep for years or decades and use regularly, and that shows in its patina. I consider my worn Brooks Brothers football leather briefcase to be a legacy. Our Pick of the Day is a 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6, the legacy of one owner for nearly half a century. Whoever owned it before the selling dealer got it must have configured it well.

Pick of the Day: 1989 GMC V1500 Jimmy
What I've realized over the past year have OK problems encountered. For example, if you're a small business owner and you have so many customers that you have to expand your staff, this is a good question. To some extent, automakers themselves face a very good problem: They invest millions of dollars to make their SUVs more aerodynamic, fuel efficient, and equipped with infotainment and driver-assist technology, but Thousands more people behave well enough to buy old, boxy, low-tech off-roaders (even though the money doesn't go to the manufacturer).

Pick of the Day: 1956 Mercury Montclair Sun Valley

Pick of the Day: 1993 Ford Mustang
As early as the 1970swhen the Ford Bronco transformed from a Jeep competitor into an SUV, the Bronco was just a Ford truck that was both practical and fun.

1999 jeep wrangler sahara 5 speed
Back to January 2018I had the pleasure of driving the all-new JL Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport alongside hundreds of JK Wrangler owners at Austin Jeep’s largest annual event, the Polar Bear Run. They don't call it "Polar Bear Run" for nothing: Everyone at Hidden Falls Adventure Park in Marble Falls, Texas, should remove the roof and doors and lower the windshield before hitting the road. Doing this lets the cold in, but also brings me closer to the sights and sounds of nature. If this sounds interesting to you, check out our Daily Pick, a 1999 Jeep Wrangler Sahara listed on ClassicCars.com by a South Dakota dealer. Two-door Jeeps have been around for decades, but the Wrangler model is less than 40 years old, having replaced the CJ Series in the 1987 model year. The first generation Wrangler, also known as the YJ (or "Yuppy Jeep" to some) was produced until 1996. Its successor, the TJ, had more Jeep-like round…
Pick of the Day: 1967 AMC Marlin
in an industry There has been a trend toward downsizing since the 1970s, exemplified by the 1955-57 Ford Thunderbird, which history proves experienced the opposite as it was upgraded to a four-seat model in 1958. Our pick of the day is another one that's been pushed up a size. . . twice! : AMC Marlin in 1967. It is listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a dealer in Farmingdale, New York. (Click the link to see the list) As you know, the Marlin originated with the 1964 Rambler Tarpon, a sporty fastback show car based on the new, redesigned American Rambler compact. However, the Americans did not plan to offer a V8 engine until 1966, which may have limited the Tarpon's appeal. Therefore, the American car company decided to promote the production version on the mid-size Classic platform. As you know, this car was launched in 1965 and renamed "Marlin". Despite being a step up in size, the Marlin's proportions…
Pick of the Day: 1992 Oldsmobile Custom Corvette
this Daily Picks is a 1992 Oldsmobile Custom Corvette listed on ClassicCars.com by an Illinois dealer. If you've ever wanted to buy an old, large, comfortable American car, such as a Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, you might have been advised to look for a car owned by an older person. The logic is that such owners typically drive their cars gently, don't put many miles on them, and have them maintained by the dealer. The dealer selling this 1992 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser must have heard the same advice and acted on it. According to them, they bought this three-row carriage from the original owner, a 93-year-old woman. Yes, there are 93,637 miles on the odometer, but when you crunch the numbers, you'll find that they average out to less than 3,000 miles per year over 30 years. The Deep Maple Red Metallic and Gunmetal Gray Metallic exteriors are reportedly "gleaming and looking just like they did in the showroom 32 years…
Pick of the Day: 1964 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible
one of the relaxed people Magazine ads for the Volkswagen Beetle showed a photo of professional NBA basketball player Wilt Chamberlain standing next to the car. "They said it couldn't be done. It couldn't be done," the ad said. It was mentioned that Wilt, who is 7 feet 1 inches tall, would not fit in the car. After all, the Beetle is a very compact economy car. Maybe Volkswagen's marketing team should try squeezing him into a convertible instead? Regardless, this is probably a lost cause.

Pick of the Day: 1970 AMC Javelin SST
plymouth barracudaDodge Challenger, Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird were all new for 1970, but the Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar were holdovers from 1969.

Then there's the two-seat AMX, which gives AMC an unparalleled and unique car.…

Pick of the Day: 2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
last year, I wrote a story about two of Pontiac's most popular performance cars, the Firebird Trans Am and the G8. Both cars were designed to excite buyers, and even though the Pontiac division folded after 2010, the brand's enthusiasts remain enthusiastic about it. Today's Pick is a 2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Culpemont, Pennsylvania.

Pick of the Day: 1970 Ford Mustang
this Daily Picks It's a 1970 Ford Mustang listed on ClassicCars.com by a California dealer. Classic SUVs have become increasingly popular over the past few years. On the one hand, this means that many of them have been rescued from the barn and restored to (sometimes more than) their former glory. On the other hand, a lot of them come with lifts and aftermarket wheels and tires, so it's hard to see an original Bronco among all the modifications. As our Pick of the Day, this 1970 Ford Mustang seems to fall somewhere in between those two extremes. As part of a detailed restoration, the first-generation Bronco's frame was powder-coated. The bodywork was media blasted and then covered in new Wimbledon White and Vesta Orange paint, followed by a five-year ceramic protective coating about a year ago. This high-contrast combination makes it instantly recognizable as a classic Mustang. Apparently, this 1970s model has also been modified. However, these upgrades work…
Pick of the Day: 1980 Ford Pinto
not much love As for the Ford Pinto, it's the most maligned "male era" American car this side of the AMC Pacer. Put aside the cliche tailgating jokes and other disparaging remarks, and you'll find that the Pinot sat somewhere in the middle of the pack among economy cars of the era. However, the 1980 Ford Pinto hatchback we selected as today's pick overcomes its genetic shortcomings to become a more interesting vehicle. It is listed on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Oklahoma City. (Click the link to view the list) When Ford launched the compact Falcon in 1960, it was in response to the Volkswagen Beetle. So why do you need a micro Pinto? Due to the influx of Japanese microcars, these cars became popular on American roads, especially in the United States and on both coasts. The Pinto made its debut in September 1970, initially as a two-door sedan, followed by the Runabout hatchback in February 1971.…
Pick of the Day: 1987 BMW 325i Convertible
this Daily Picks is a 1987 BMW 325i Convertible listed on ClassicCars.com by a North Carolina dealer. The other night I watched a new movie called Shoplifters on Amazon Prime Video and it immediately reminded me of the first time I drove a BMW 3 Series. It was done because it's a movie about a group of friends and what they did on the day the Smiths broke up. You may be wondering why this reminds me of the BMW Ultimate Tanner. That's why. The Smiths are my favorite band of all time, a band that seems to appeal to me more than any other band in the world. When I heard about their breakup on MTV, I was very upset. I moped around all day listening to their tapes at a local record store, finally arriving back at my apartment at dusk. That night, one of my best friends drove up to my college apartment in his brand new…
Pick of the Day: 1967 Hemi Plymouth GTX Convertible
a few things That's more likely to sparkle in the eyes of muscle car enthusiasts than the words "426 Hemi." These NASCAR-inspired homologation vehicles are expensive and have limited warranties, but they're also the engines by which all other vehicles are judged. Our daily pick is not only a Hemi car, but it's also a convertible, making it one of the rarest and most desirable muscle cars. This 1967 Hemi Plymouth GTX Convertible is for sale on ClassicCars.com from a dealer in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. (Click the link to see the list) The GTX was arguably a latecomer, as Plymouth had had equipment to compete with the GTO since 1964, but it took Plymouth several years to realize the importance of image in its marketing. A 383 or Hemi-powered Belvedere or Satellite weren't really ready for the street, and the 383 was no match for the Tri-Power GTO. The 1967 GTX solved all these problems and more. The standard version…
