The Volkswagen Beetle, a car that left an indelible mark on countless lives and underwent over a thousand design changes during its production span, stands as a true legend within the automotive realm. Although initially commissioned by Adolf Hitler and crafted by Ferdinand Porsche to facilitate transportation for the German populace on the newly constructed autobahns, the profound impact of this unassuming and modest vehicle surpassed all expectations. Its global resonance is undeniable, with over twenty-one million units produced between 1938 and 2003. The Beetle's enduring legacy owes much to its straightforward design, contributing to the abundance of surviving examples in the present day. Yet, despite their prevalence, locating one for sale can prove a bit of a challenge, especially when seeking earlier models like this 1956 Volkswagen Beetle with its iconic oval rear window and near-original appearance. According to reports, the car underwent a thorough restoration by the current owner roughly a decade ago, which undoubtedly accounts for its remarkable and well-preserved condition.
Around a decade ago, the 1956 Volkswagen Beetle received a meticulous restoration that involved the removal of its previous paint and a fresh application of its original black hue. This refurbishment has undoubtedly contributed to the car's impressive visual appeal, with its chrome accents gleaming and its classic whitewall tires adding to its charm. An eye-catching detail is the inclusion of turn signals positioned on the window sills in the vintage semaphore style, which appear to be fully operational. The front end of the Beetle greets you with its iconic bug-eyed appearance, exuding a friendly aura. Notably, an aftermarket horn has been mounted on the front bumper for a more assertive auditory presence. Adjacent to the horn, a solitary driving lamp complements the Beetle's characteristic headlamps by providing additional illumination when needed. Another distinctive touch is the blue-tinted front windshield shade, thoughtfully designed to shield occupants from the sun's rays during travel. At the rear, the smaller taillamp clusters characteristic of earlier models catch your attention, distinct from the more commonly known 'elephant-foot clusters' introduced in 1973. Stepping inside, the Beetle offers ample space for a family of four to journey comfortably. The interior boasts an attractive red color scheme adorned with white striping on the seats. While the range of amenities and instrumentation is modest, these features contribute to the nostalgic ambiance of the pre-digital era that the Beetle encapsulates. This unique blend of simplicity and analog character is precisely why the Beetle continues to capture the hearts of so many enthusiasts. In a world dominated by digital complexity, the Beetle offers a serene oasis of analog relaxation and timeless appeal.
Under the rear hatch of this 1956 Volkswagen Beetle resides a new engine, as informed by the current owner, and it aligns with the period-correct specifications. This air-cooled 4-cylinder boxer motor powerplant, boasting a modest displacement of 1192cc, exudes a characteristically friendly and recognizable sound. Its performance is channeled to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. While the Beetle may not claim the title of a high-speed marvel, it excels in delivering a unique driving experience that encapsulates its distinct charm. The combination of its distinctive engine note, tactile sensations, and driving dynamics contributes to what makes the Beetle an endearing and enjoyable vehicle to drive, even if it isn't aiming to break speed records.

Late 50s Chevys and mid 60s Cadillacs have always been popular candidates for restomod projects. However, not all of them are tastefully done like this fully restored 1965 Cadillac de Ville convertible restomod. 1965 was the first model year for the 3rd generation De Ville. It retained the same wheelbase as its predecessor, but the frame was a new perimeter frame (rather than the old X frame). The horizontal headlamp arrangement that had been standard since the late 50s was dropped in favor of a vertical arrangement, which also resulted in a wider grille. Gone were the softer lines of the old car, replaced by a sharper, more boxy design. The tailfins that had started shrinking since 1960 were now lower and slanted slightly downwards rather than slightly upwards. The new straight lines in its design make this car just as good looking with the top down as it does with the top up.
What do you get when you imbue an Eighties car with Twenties (no not Twenty Twenties, but Nineteen Twenties) styling? That’s precisely what Excalibur aimed to do. This Milwaukee-based outfit was the work of Clifford Brooks Stevens, who initially designed the cars for Studebaker. Stevens subsequently formed a company to create them by himself. Sadly, the project wasn’t as successful as all involved would have expected, and after several failures, Excalibur folded in 1990. Of course, that hasn’t stopped others from creating replicas, such as this 1989 Excalibur Series V Replica. Built on a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis GS chassis, this 17,688-mile automobile awaits its new owner in Williston, Vermont. It is often said that imitation is the best form of flattery, so the fact that someone built a replica of the Excalibur means that the car is worth checking out. If you’re the kind of person who lusts after the quirky and isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of what many consider a ‘classic’ or ‘modern classic’, why not buy this car and become its custodian?
The Chevy Nova, or Chevy II as it was also known, was the Bowtie’s contender in the compact car space between 1962 and 1979. It was quite a departure from Chevy’s other offerings that included full-size and midsize cars, plus sports, muscle and pony cars. Nevertheless, the Nova was a best-seller throughout much of the Sixties, since it represented affordable motoring for the masses who didn’t want a land yacht of epic proportions and eye-watering price. Now, the Nova is a great classic car, as well as a fine restomod platform. This particular 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS Restomod is a great example of the latter category, as it’s undergone a full restoration and has just 400 miles on its stonking new motor.
