1953 Chevrolet Bel Air

Bill Burleson caught the Chevy in Santa Fe. AL posted another Bel Air in Colorado Springs a while back. One in Canmore, Alberta. One for sale in Goshen, NY a while back. And maybe our favorite, a '54, in Sedgwick Maine. Amazing what turns up when you try Bel Air in the Autoliterate search widget.

Clean California bus (VW)


1974 Volkswagen bus. Before there were mini vans VW  tried to market these in US as station wagons. This unit is on the block today at BaT.


 

GMC 370


From Reid Cunningham: Dunbarton, NH. A medium duty GMC truck, the 370 (an Oldsmobile??(maybe Pontiac) V8 with some upgraded components for truck duty) was used from 57-59.
AL: this truck needs to go to the Pacheco Brothers in Trementina, New Mexico
Another 370 sold in Iowa a while back.

1962 Plymouth Savoy

Eric Haze, 60, an artist and graphic designer working in New York since the 1970s, on his 1962 Plymouth Savoy, as told to A.J. Baime in the WSJ
"Cars are like love. You do not get to choose when it is going to happen. The car finds you, wherever it is, in whatever condition it is in. My 1962 Savoy first popped up in an online ad in 2016. I was living in Brooklyn, and the car was being sold by a guy whose family owned the oldest auto parts dealership in Fresno, Calif. I knew what I was looking at from the photos.
"For many reasons, it was a gem. It was completely original, rust-free, original paint and interior. The downside: It was in pieces. The fenders were off, the hood was off, the drivetrain wasn’t completed and the seats were out...."

Sleepy wagon: 1965 Dodge Coronet


From Lodown Magazine, Eric Haze's  "1965 Dodge Coronet station wagon, which I just took delivery of two weeks ago. This baby is a super clean original California survivor but it also has a sick 520 big block stroker motor in it, so it is the ultimate 'sleeper'." See A.J. Baime's piece on Haze in the WSJ.

4x4 GMC Van


From Reid Cunningham: "Claremont, New Hampshire. Hard to know what to call this. Even though 4 wheel drive, maybe not a winter vehicle? :)"
