Rare Corvette Discovered on Australian Beach
in Classical Drives, on July 13, 2009
Why is it that we sometimes need visitors from other places to help us appreciate the beauty of our own domain? I'm especially guilty as I live in what is arguably the loveliest part of a spectacular country (Canada, Sidney, BC, on Vancouver Island) yet often dream of being elsewhere.

1954 Buick Skylark. More Beautiful Than a 48 Roadmaster?
in Classical Drives, on July 10, 2009
A few days ago I posted a blog about the styling of the post-war Buick Roadmaster (although a convertible was shown, it's the fastback that really turns my crank). It was, and still is, one of my favorites. However my good friend and former test drive buddy Colin Hefferon checked me up on t...

My Favorite Buick, a Roadmaster at RM's Meadowbrook Auction

Of all the vintage Buicks that I admire, perhaps none are as close to my heart as the immediate pre-war Roadmasters. The long hood, sweeping fenders and chrome-bedecked grilles do it for me, especially knowing there's a mellow inline-eight at my command. I drove one only once, during an Onta...
