Hemmings Daily: California legislature considers breaks for Seventies cars, crackdown on later cars

The current owner, who's had it since 1980, restored it and showed it and could probably tell us plenty more about the original owner and his family given the chance.

The fourth third-generation Corvette underwent only minor changes for the 1975 model year, leaving the model's best features intact while continuing to adapt to new and challenging regulations. As this 1975 Stingray brochure (printed September, 1974) illustrates, the Corvette could be configured as a comfortable, long-distance grand tourer, a handling-focused ...[Read More] [Indianapolis, 1965] [Indianapolis, 1965] Posted by Daniel Strohl - We probably should've run these closer to this year's 100th running of the Indy 500, but today's close enough.

Though produced for 15 years, Czechoslovakian automaker Tatra built less than 3,100 examples of its futuristic T87 sedan before the model's run ended in 1950. That makes it something of a rarity among collectors, especially in North America, and bidding for well-preserved examples tends to be spirited.

It had the right look, was the perfect size, and priced so the majority of American could afford one. Although the Model A was only in production for a little more than four short years starting in late 1927 and ending in 1932, nearly five million had been built. What's more amazing is the amount of different body styles it was available in, including two- and f...[Read More] [Gainesville, Georgia, 1960s] [Gainesville, Georgia, 1960s] Posted by Daniel Strohl - Over on our Facebook page, reader Larry Gaddis sent along today's carspotting photo depicting Sherwood Plaza in Gainesville, Georgia.

Jaguar's well-receivedrange of sedans -- pardon, saloons -- worked alongside its famous XK sports cars to broaden the British automaker's market penetration in the 1950s and early 1960s, and these pricey four-doors offered a peerless blend of luxurious accommodations, sporting performance and traditional English styling appeal.

The Sprite was launched in 1958; Mark I versions featured headlamps atop the hood, giving the car the "frogeye" or "bugeye" nickname. Initially, power came from a 948-cc inline-four rated at 43 horsepower, but by the time the Mark IV was introduced in 1966, the engine had grown to 1,275 cc and 65 horsepower.
