If there’s one thing I do not see at all among any Concours event I attend it is pre-war Plymouths. They aren’t hugely collectible, not very distinctive, and really weren’t a high-class sort of car during the Depression. However, they were cheap and reliable, and often more stylish then at first glance. Luckily, this little roadster got itself a spot at Radnor last weekend.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM LEAD EAST 2015: GALLERY 3

September 21, 2015 ndubs77 1 Comment

More American steel action, here is our 3rd round of highlights from Lead East 2015.

What I love most about all of these custom cars is the level of personality they possess. When a person builds a car into a custom ride, aspects of their personality rub off on the car, bringing the machine that much more to life.

Enjoy the photos!

1967 Dodge Coronet R/T at Lead East

While running around Lead East a few weeks ago, I was on the lookout for anything with a Chrysler Corporation badge on it. Luckily, I found this yellow Dodge sitting out back, unloved. No one wanted to give it any attention. Thankfully I found it, and gave it some love. It’s bright yellow, it packs a 440 cubic-inch V8 bruiser of an engine under the hood, chrome rolling stock at all four corners, massive exhausts, and a mean stinkbug stance. It’s just about the perfect definition of what a Coronet R/T is all about–showing off, and making noise. Enjoy the photos. Continue reading 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T at Lead East →

1908 Browniekar at the 2015 Elegance at Hershey

Honey, I shrunk the car! Well, no, I didn’t, but it certainly applies here. This is a Browniekar, which might be the most diminutive Brass Era automobile I’ve ever laid eyes on. It’s small enough to trip over if you’ve had enough champagne at one of these shows, but just big enough to grab your attention. I’m not sure what this is, or why anyone thought it was a car for daily use, but it’s here and it’s showing up nicely. Continue reading 1908 Browniekar at the 2015 Elegance at Hershey →

1955 Dodge LaFemme at the 2015 Concours of America

When it comes to advertising, no one knew how to advertise cars to women in the 1950s. It didn’t stop Dodge from trying, but they clearly weren’t so great at it either. Welcome to the 1955 Dodge La Femme–one of the most obscure 1950s Dodge products out there, regardless of engine or body type. Dodge attempted to make their car appeal to women, but they did it in such a way that would make most women blush with embarrassment for having to be in this car.

On the Saturday evening of our road trip, Nick, Shane, and I were heading to dinner during a bunch of haphazard thunderstorms. While walking to Duggan’s (home of some very excellent French Dip and Cuban sandwiches), we hit one of these storms, but came across this sleek black Buick just sitting in the parking lot of the Italian restaurant next door.

This beautiful 1960 Chevrolet Impala is a regular at the Woodward Ave Cruise Nights. I love its Marvin Martian details as well.

As a boulevard cruiser, things don’t get much better than this.

1960 Armstrong-Siddeley Star Sapphire Saloon at the 2015 Elegance at Hershey

Armstrong-Siddeley is a brand that not a lot of people in America are familiar with. I can put myself in that category as well. The Star Sapphire was one of the last products the company made, a full 55 years ago. The conservative, held-back styling is a penchant of British tastes after the end of the Second World War, and it has aged rather well. This is the newest of all Armstrong-Siddeleys, and that is only because this was also the final Star Sapphire ever produced.
