This is a big, luxurious Jaguar and we have always appreciated its classic styling and elegant interior. It is rare to find an unrestored example in driveable condition but we found this one early Monday morning on eBay. It was the summer driver on an estate on Long Island. Read More

We missed getting this one up in time but it didn’t sell. We would watch for it to be relisted like many eBay auctions.
The styling of the Golden Hawk was executed by the studio of Raymond Loewy. They took the basic shape of the Commander and added a vertical eggcrate grille, a squared off trunk and fiberglass tailfins. OMG! We have to tell you, when we saw this car, submitted by Frank K., we were impressed by the unique styling of this early muscle car. We said muscle car because the Packard engine that powered it produced 275 hp making it one of the fastest cars of the period. Read More

We guess because we have a Mercedes-Benz Fintail (Finnie) that we rave about; readers tend to send us Finnies of similar potential. Potential is the key word here. We rarely see for sale a Mercedes-Benz W111, referred to here in the states as a Fintail and in Europe as a Heckflosse, in totally restored, drivable condition.

So when Mark G. sent us this one from eBay we took notice. Read More

It was a busy weekend for us car people up in the Northeast. There was the 23rd Annual British Invasion in beautiful Stowe, Vermont and the Fairfield Concours Nutmeg Tour. We elected to go the Nutmeg Tour since we didn’t have a British car. But our Mint friend and frequent contributor, Michael M., covered the action in Stowe. Michael has an amazing eye for a good car and although he didn’t drive any of these, he thought they were solid enough to warrant further exploration.
