During the mid-20th century, Henry Ford’s company was making waves on both sides of the Atlantic, but with very different philosophies. While American Fords became synonymous with large bodies and brawny V8 power, Ford of Britain focused on compact, family-oriented cars suited to narrower roads and different driving needs. Among the most iconic of these small British Fords was the Anglia, a nameplate that spanned multiple generations from the 1930s through the 1960s. Although the later 105E Anglia is the most widely recognized today due to its pop-culture presence, earlier Anglias played an equally important role in automotive history. This 1948 Ford Anglia Restomod, originating from the first generation and now offered out of Temecula, California, reinterprets that humble British economy car through the lens of American hot rodding. Retaining its classic proportions while undergoing a comprehensive transformation, it combines vintage Anglia character with a 350ci V8, an automatic transmission, and modern conveniences, resulting in a distinctive cross-continental blend of history, performance, and custom craftsmanship.
The all-steel sedan body of this 1948 Ford Anglia Restomod is finished in deep black Deltron paint highlighted by purple pearl accents, applied by Hots Rods & Custom Stuff of Escondido, California. The finish emphasizes the rounded fenders and upright profile that make the Anglia instantly recognizable, while polished aluminum wheels and a forward-raked stance give it a classic hot rod attitude. Inside, the cabin features a professionally trimmed light gray and purple leather and tweed interior by Ron Mangus of Custom Auto Interiors, creating a high-contrast, period-correct look that balances comfort with show-quality presentation. Custom gauges, a clean dashboard layout, and a thoughtfully integrated audio system complete the interior.
Power comes from a 350ci Chevrolet V8 equipped with a BDS roots-style supercharger and dual 4-barrel carburetors, delivering aggressive throttle response and unmistakable visual impact. The engine is paired with a Turbo 400 three-speed automatic transmission, sending power to a Ford 9-inch rear end fitted with 4.11 gears for strong acceleration. A side-exit dual exhaust system reinforces the car’s performance-oriented nature, while the overall drivetrain and chassis configuration reflect a well-sorted hot rod built for both show presence and serious street performance.

A true icon of American automotive history, Ford’s Mustang is the creator of what we call the pony car. Introduced in 1964, this special car stole hearts and sold well over a couple of million units in its first generation, which ran until 1973. The brainchild of Lee Iacocca and Donald N. Frey, the Mustang’s iconic lines were penned by Gale Helderman. The hardtop and convertible were first previewed to the public in April 1964, the fastback followed a few months later. Today’s 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback is, as the name tells you, a fastback variant which is the one that many lust after. With 60,000 miles on the clock, this North Carolina-based pony is the ideal classic car for someone who is tired of today’s soulless EVs and sanitized plug-in hybrids. It even makes a fine first car for a young person who wants something classic.
The 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL represents the later years of the iconic R107 generation, a model celebrated for its blend of classic roadster styling, V8 refinement, and legendary Mercedes-Benz build quality. Designed as a true grand touring convertible rather than an outright sports car, the 380SL emphasizes comfort, durability, and effortless cruising. As a factory U.S.-spec example, this car was originally built to meet federal regulations, making it a proper North American-market vehicle rather than a grey-market import. Today, the R107 remains one of the most recognizable and enduring SL models, valued for its timeless design and long-term collectability.
We all loved the 101 Dalmatians movie, and one of the most prominent characters in it was the villain, Cruella de Vil. That has nothing to do with this car, but her name sure does remind us of it. Say hello to the 1965 Cadillac Coupe Deville, the luxurious land yacht that won the hearts of the 1960s. This model name was used by Cadillac over eight generations. It was derived from the French de la Ville or de Ville, meaning "of the town". What we have here is a 1965 Cadillac Coupe Deville that belongs to the third generation. It saw a major redesign that sets it apart from its predecessors. With just 80,631 miles on its odometer, this beauty is located in Elgin, South Carolina.
