Welcome!
This site is dedicated to the grand American tradition of building
large, mostly rear-wheel-drive (RWD) luxury cars. The focus
here will be vehicles manufactured in the '70s,
'80s, and '90s, though the tradition goes all the way
back to the early part of the last century.
These
stylish vehicles -- that by today's standards would be considered
behemoths -- once graced roads all over the United States throughout
the 20th Century. Yet by the beginning of the New Millennium
they had become all but extinct. Today the last of these great
cars are nearing the end of of the road, each soon to be replaced
by yet another disposable, unit-body vehicle.
Like the Dinosaurs, these grand designs have now been relegated
to history. But they live on in the hearts and minds of loyal
enthusiasts, many of whom are now being forced to drive either
old classics or new SUVs. As more and more of the remaining
vehicles end up as hulks in the crusher of the local salvage
yard, detailed information about them is fast becoming only
a fleeting memory.
In these pages you'll find a wealth of information about some
of these wonderful cars. Not everything made during this period
will be highlighted, but many that you are familiar with will
be found here. So come on in and enjoy! To get started, click
