A pair of European automotive treasures, long lost to time, have recently resurfaced from the depths of a British barn. These classic Mercedes-Benz models, a 1954 W187 and a 300 Adenauer, represent a significant portion of the company’s post World War II history. The W187, introduced in 1951, was one of the first Mercedes models to feature a six-cylinder engine. Its sleek design, featuring headlamps integrated into the fenders, and its powerful M180 engine made it a popular choice among enthusiasts.

The Chevrolet Bel Air, once the pinnacle of Chevrolet’s full-size offerings, faced a decline in status following the introduction of the Impala in 1958. While the Bel Air continued to be produced, it was relegated to a secondary position within the full-size lineup.

The 1964 model year saw relatively few changes for the Bel Air, as Chevrolet focused on developing the next generation of the Impala. However, like the Impala, the Bel Air offered a range of…

The Plymouth Road Runner, a muscular muscle car introduced in 1968, quickly outsold its corporate twin, the Dodge Super Bee. By 1971, when Chrysler discontinued its high-performance V8 engines, Plymouth had sold nearly 200,000 Road Runners. While the Road Runner is relatively common compared to other Mopar classics, finding one equipped with the legendary 426 cubic inch HEMI V8 is a rare treat. Only 2,003 of the nearly 200,000 Road Runners produced through 1971 were fitted with this powerful engine, making up just 1% of the total production. Rare 1968 HEMI Road Runner: A High Performance Classic Muscle Car for…

Ford has announced a price drop for the 2025 Mustang Mach-E, making it a more compelling option compared to the Tesla Model Y. While the upgrades for the new model year aren’t revolutionary, the reduced base price of $36,495 (compared to $39,995 in 2024) is a significant attraction.
