Beautifully restored and finished in attractive Sapphire Blue Mist with a matching interior and White top, this 1957 Oldsmobile Super 88 convertible is both a stylish cruiser and a serious performer thanks to the J2 option, which gives the Olds Rocket V-8 engine a row of three 2-barrel carburetors and over 20 more horsepower. Power steering and brakes add to the car’s road manners, and dual exhaust, wide whitewall radial tires, spinner hubcaps and fender skirts add plenty of Fifties style.

Parked motionless at the curbside it is as unobtrusive as any car could possibly be, and yet this Citron Gold 1966 Plymouth Hemi Satellite is one of the most remarkable cars in the Dehnert Collection. It was seldom driven by its original owner, who kept it garaged at his Florida home. After 25 years in the famed McGroder Collection in Phoenix and then in the stewardship of Paul Dehnert, it has traveled just 1,895 miles and remains entirely original, from its 426/425 HP automatic power train to its Blue stripe tires, a fantastic specimen equipped with bucket seats, console with tachometer and Trans Audio AM radio. The car is impeccably documented with broadcast sheet and certicard, complete ownership record, copies of the original title, and odometer statement dated September 1977 and showing just 1,660 miles.

Ford built just 1,806 Boss 351 Mustangs in 1971, but few that remain will match this first-rate Yellow 4-speed Fastback for originality. With 40,000 documented miles, it has been with the same owner for almost 40 years, during which it has only once ever been exposed to rain, a fact that well explains its excellent original paint and interior. The car participated in the Boss Nationals at Carlisle, PA in 2005 as an un-restored entry, and has been stored in a protective storage bubble most of the time since then. Documentation includes the window sticker, maintenance records, odometer statements and Marti Reports.

Carroll Shelby is an icon of the automotive world. For over 50 years his name has served as a virtual synonym for the term “automotive performance.” Shelby began his career as a race car driver and before being forced to retire due to health reasons, won the prestigious 1959 24 Hours of LeMans driving for Aston Martin. Although he was twice named Sports Illustrated’s Driver of the Year (1956 and 1957) he is much better known worldwide for his work in his second career as an automobile builder. From his first project that combined the British built two-seat AC Bristol with a Ford V8 to create the “Cobra,” to his current partnership with Ford, Shelby has always had his sights set on building the ultimate American sports car. Along the way he has created a long line of popular and extremely successful street and race vehicles bearing the names Cobra, Daytona Coupe, GT40, GT350 and GT500 Mustangs and the Chrysler Omni GLHS.

Sue Vanderbilt in a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Seville “Baroness;" the show car that she styled for the Feminine Show. When you look back at General Motors’ rich design history, one of the most talented individuals, who made her career as part of GM’s vaunted Creative Design Team, was the late Suzanne E. Vanderbilt.
Vanderbilt was one of the original Damsels of Design – a group of eight, great talented female designers that the famed Harley Earl hired during the early days of the 1950s.
Throughout history, the Oldsmobile story has inspired many automotive historians with its rich and celebrated heritage which started right in Michigan’s capital city of Lansing.
I remember a particularly exciting year in 1978 when Oldsmobile introduced their new line of vehicles and automotive catalogues to the buying public. My first impression was that Oldsmobile was using 1978 to create a family-oriented lineup of new cars. The company used its advertising and marketing to highlight many traditional family values
The year 1966 was a great year for automotive sales in the U.S. Many car manufacturers were doing very well for the economy and in 1966 the average cost for a new Dodge vehicle sold for $ 2,280 and the price of gasoline for 32 cents a gallon.
The Chrysler Corporation was also doing very well within the automotive markets with its popular Dodge Dart models. The 1966 Dodge Dart models made their debut in Dodge dealerships on September 30, 1965.

To ensure that Shelby American would have its 1966 GT350 models in dealerships when Ford released the new ‘66 Mustangs, Shelby ordered an additional 252 cars from Ford’s San Jose plant at the very end of 1965 production. These ‘change-over’ cars (often referred to as ‘carry-overs’) were essentially Shelby-spec ’65 GT350s, and received the same performance modifications,
