Odd racer Good name Commiecar 3/4 scale 1949 Chevy "a recognized AACA Historical Preservation candidate" This could be one too White and cute Not for the shy Fanciful restoration claims, but didn't spend a few hundred bucks for the steering wheel... 70s futurism Patina The tires are a bit much Where does this guy get all these things? Flashy last ride Why? Uncommon Fuselage preservation And its richer identical cousin Bleak days Yet another from the king of malaise barges |

If you got your $26K, that would indeed be a HOME RUN. I would have bid $15K tops for it. Not bad lookin' for a 4Door though, I have to say. 58 Edsel Bermuda -- these can bring strong money, even as a #3 car like this one. I'm guessin' $25K on this one. 1958 Lancia Appia -- you know, if it weren't refrig white I'd be tempted at $4,600. These are such sweet little jewels, very well made cars. Had it only been that lovely slate gray with red interior, I would be *sorely* tempted. Check for rust, natch--we see many with crusty floors. 1978 Toyota Celica -- that'll run for another 200K miles.

Replying to: fezo (Jan 09, 2009 7:57 pm) I like that '56 DeSoto, but if I was gonna get a '56, I'd want a Fireflite. They were much more luxurious inside, and the headlight surrounds were more peaked than the Firedome, with a bit of a forward thrust. It made the car look less bug-eyed than the Firedome, or the 1955 models. I think $20K is crazy for something like that though. As universally derided as the 1958 Edsel is, I have to profess a certain fondness for the bigger, Mercury-based models. I think that styling wears better on the bigger Mercury body than it does on the Ford. |

Replying to: fintail (Jan 09, 2009 6:19 pm) 1958 Lancia Appia S2- What a cool little car, going cheap so far. 1960 Caddy Hearse- That black beauty is in a lot better shape than the '76 Hearse we had at the radio station I worked at in the mid-'90s. 1977 AMC Hornet wagon- A surprising number of cars like it are still used as daily drivers by retirees living in AZ. I talked to a couple that had 288K on their Hornet wagon.

mazda 323 wagon! didn't see any rust. also a late 70's ford pickup. |
|
| coming home from work, I saw a couple old furriners. First, a mid-1980's Nissan 300Z, the 2+2 style. Burgundy color. Looked like it was still in decent shape. Also saw one of those little early 70's BMW hardtops. The 3.0 CS or whatever it was called? Wasn't pristine, but wasn't a beater either...just looked like a decent daily driver. | |
