Clone is good: ’72 Porsche Carrera RS “Replica”

Category: Submitted Tags: , , 2 Comments

'73 Porsche Carrera Clone

Early 911s are terrific cars to own and drive. That is the reason why prices for just about any variant have gone through the roof. There are some really special cars like the rare and valuable RS Carreras that we all lust after, but there were so few made, demand has priced them out of most Porschephile’s reach. So why not take a nice, solid 911T Coupe and build your own version? We think this is a great idea if it improves your enjoyment level – if that is even possible. Read More

2 Owners: ’54 Jaguar XK120 3.8 OTS

Category: Submitted Tags: , , Leave a Comment

1954 Jaguar XK120

This wonderful XK120 OTS (open two-seater) has been in the current owner’s possession for 50 years. That by itself doesn’t mean it is in spectacular condition, it just means you’ll be able to unlock the mystery behind the car more easily. In this case it is simple. A French medical student owned the car originally and when he left Canada in 1960, the current owner purchased it. He didn’t use it much and the 25,000 miles are said to be original. If you look at the interior you might believe it. Read More

Mainliner: ’88 Jaguar XJS V12 Coupe

Category: Your Pick Tags: , Leave a Comment

1988 Jaguar XJS V12

Malvern, Pennsylvania is on Philadelphia’s Main Line and that is one of the wealthiest stretches of real estate in the country. Coincidentally, the Radnor Hunt Concours we attended was held in Malvern. We happen to like the Jaguar XJS Coupe with that glorious V12 engine so when this one cropped up from Malvern, we thought we should take a look. Any low mileage Jag from this area signals a charmed life and the photos substantiate what looks like a really nice example. Read More

Sparrows beware: ’55 Imperial

Category: Your Pick Tags: , Leave a Comment

1955 Chrysler Imperial

The Imperial was launched and registered as a separate marque in 1955, apart from the Chrysler brand. We don’t run across many of these at shows and none have ever been submitted before. So when an original condition 1st year Imperial was sent in by Frank K., we couldn’t resist. The 1955 models are said to be inspired by Exner’s own 1952 show cars. Read More

Another Lee idea: ’69 Lincoln Mark III

Category: Submitted Tags: , Leave a Comment

1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III

The Mark III was created by Lee Iacocca, president of Ford Motor Company at the time, when he directed Design Vice President, Gene Bordinat, to “put a Rolls Royce grille on a Thunderbird” in September 1965. The Mark III was based on the big 4-door T-bird that was first introduced for 1967. The Mark III was intended to compete head-to-head with Cadillac’s redesigned front-drive Eldorado.  Read More

Wacky Wagon: ’56 Hudson Rambler Country Wagon

Category: Submitted Tags: , , Leave a Comment

1956 Hudson Rambler

We love wagons and when Mark G., sent us this one, we couldn’t resist. This is a bit confusing because it is sometimes known as a Hudson and a Rambler. George Mason designed this one and he insisted that his cars needed to look really different. And they were, with “bathtub” shapes and enclosed front wheels. The 1956 Rambler was unusually normal, but it still had eccentricities like the inboard headlamps and a C-pillar that integrated the roof and body sides. This new body heralded a lot of changes like upgrading the Rambler from a nameplate to a brand.
