Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The Million Dollar Oldsmobile?
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: The Million Dollar Oldsmobile?-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:20

With 70% of you opting for Booth Number Two yesterday, we can safely say that , no matter how nice. Today we're taking the asking price into the stratosphere, as in Barrett-Jackson-grade pricing, with our first million-dollar candidate.

It's one of the all-time legendary musclecars from the Golden Age of hot GM A-bodies: a 1969 Hurst Olds 442. The seller doesn't provide much description, other than "BACK IN JUNE OF 69' GEORGE HURST & LINDA VAUGHN WERE SEEN IN THE BACK SEAT OF THIS CAR DOING THE 69," which we find disturbing as well as uninformative. Still, it's got to be the real thing, and no doubt any prospective buyer knows chapter and verse about this particular car's history anyway, what with the small-world nature of the high-line musclecar milieu. A million bucks, though? What do you think?

The is one of the few Japanese luxury cars with the aesthetics to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Europe's best, a fact helped by the coupe's bulging, enticing shoulders. The headlights may appear a bit doe-eyed from the front, but they stretch handsomely around the front fender, starting a line that flows...

Only a couple of minutes into the briefing and already things are going bad. “The supercharged engine doesn’t trail off up to the 6,200 RPM redline, so on the track, you may find yourself hitting the rev limiter once or twice,” says a Cadillac spokesperson, preparing us for our first...

You've just been made junior partner at your law firm. You want to go fast, but you don't necessarily need to go the fastest. You want a car that handles well, but it's not like you're going to autocross it. You care about looking good but could care less if...

There are those who claim to be able to reach across the ethereal plane, into another dimension, and speak with the dead. I will make no such claim. The best I could offer my friend was assistance in tracking down the plots containing his great grandfather and other relatives, buried...

As we told you yesterday, we asked our many-layered friend John Krewson to take a spin in the new . After yesterday's taste of the new-and-now-priced-to-move-starting-at-$14,550 , he's brought us the whole red pepper of a review today. — Ed. It's always been hard for me to find someone who...

The is the best car ever made. It redefines what performance cars are capable of, not by its numbers (the 0-to-60 in 3.3 seconds and a 205 MPH top speed figures are no longer noteworthy north of $100,000), but by how it makes those numbers so accessible. Simply put, the...
