              Oldest name among current American brands, and one of the oldest in the world

1957 Buick Special, the lowest priced model

The top-of-the-line 1957 Roadmaster, close to Cadillac in price                             

In 1960, the Special was replaced by this LeSabre

                                        Going back to an earlier era, this is the 1929 Buick

The owner says it's still a joy to drive

The '29 Buick's hood ornament was typical of cars of the era                       

Every detail carefully restored

       I love these early-50s Chevrolets, in spite of their plainness — this is the 1953 model

Named for an affluent Los Angeles neighborhood

This fox got a bit too up-close and personal with a 1940 Chevrolet                        

1955 Pontiac Chieftain

                                                                 1961 Buick LeSabre

Everyone should recognize this symbol of America's premier luxury car

1957 Cadillac Coupe de Ville — best-looking Cadillac ever — just my opinion              

1959 Chevrolet

                       There were unconfirmed reports the '59 Chevy's gull-wing rear fenders
                                               caused the rear end to lift at high speed

The four stars denote "Star Chief"

The Star Chief was Pontiac's top-of-the-line model in 1957                         

The Star Chief's claim to luxury was spoiled by a rather tinny dash panel

                              The ever-popular Corvette — this is the 1958 model

A true classic — the 1948 Buick Roadmaster convertible

Buick had a fiercely loyal following in spite of its legendary appetite for gasoline            

Notice how the front fender sweeps all the way back to meet the rear — bold styling for 1948

                                                         The '48 Buick's elegant dash

  1941 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special

1929 Chevrolet                                                                         

1939 Pontiac unrestored original

                            1955 Chevrolet Bel Air — its first year with a V8 since 1919

1955 DeSoto with original Hemi V8, 70,000 original miles

1967 Imperial                                                                               

Rather uninspired styling compared to earlier Imperials

            Don't call it a Chrysler Imperial — the Imperial became a separate brand in 1955

  Going back in time, a 1931 Chrysler with a flathead 6

1937 Dodge Touring D50                                                             

Moving up a few years, another Dodge — this one is the 1960 Dart Phoenix

           The '60 Dodge dash, transmission push-buttons, a Chrysler innovation, on the left
