Bring a Trailer Bargain of the Week: 1949 MG TC EXU

Today, the Mazda Miata is arguably the definitive affordable convertible sports car. But it didn’t spring up out of nowhere. The Miata is based on classic British roadsters like the MGB, the Triumph Spitfire, and the Austin-Healey Sprite. But they in turn come from another car: the MG TC. Not only is it an important …

The BMW M3 GT Is the Coolest E36 M3 the US Never Got

The E30 M3’s status as a revered classic BMW isn’t just due to performance. It led to a long line of sports sedans, with the 2021 BMW M3 being the latest heir. However, the E30’s immediate successor, the E36 M3, doesn’t have quite the same reputation, especially in the US. That’s because, in addition to …

Vintage Electric’s E-Bikes Have Retro Style With Modern Speed

It’s now possible to convert classic cars into EVs. And over the last few years, bicycles have also gained electric power, giving rise to the e-bike segment.

Bring a Trailer Bargain of the Week: 1966 Honda S600 Coupe

It’s been over 50 years since the first car bearing the Honda badge was sold in the US. That car, the N600, still influences the Japanese automaker’s designs.

Wishlist Wednesday: 1974 BMW 2002 on Bring a Trailer

We all have an ever-growing list of dream cars. The internet is undoubtedly public enemy No. 1 for those who don’t need any more help with finding stuff to want that we can’t afford.

Jay Leno and his dark-blue 1930 Duesenberg LeBaron

Jay Leno’s 1930 Duesenberg LeBaron Has a Real Doozy of a Backstory

Lincoln and Cadillac aren’t the only brands that have built American luxury cars. They’re just the only ones that have survived. Much like Harley-Davidson and Indian once competed with Henderson and Crocker, so too did Lincoln and Cadillac have luxury rivals. Packard, which later merged with Studebaker is one. But even more well-regarded is Duesenberg. …

Jay Leno’s Citroen SM Is an Innovative French Luxury Coupe That Can (Sort of) Hit the Switches

Because it hasn’t had a US presence for some time, it’s easy to overlook Citroen’s cars. However, the French automaker has an extensive history of innovation. The Traction Avant, for example, was the first mainstream car to feature front-wheel drive, 4-wheel independent suspension, and unibody construction. The later 2CV, which is sort of like France’s …

Upon its release, the BMW E30 M3 set a new standard for sports sedans. And like many other European manufacturers, Alfa Romeo wanted to compete with it. Unfortunately, the US never received the sharpest version of the 75 sedan. We also never got its sequel, the Alfa Romeo 155. Which is a shame, because, in …
A red 1987 Alfa Romeo 75 Turbo Evoluzione

The Alfa Romeo 75 Was the E30-Fighting Giulia of the 80s

For all its faults, the Alfa Romeo Giulia is a genuine competitor to sport sedans like BMW’s 3 Series. It’s also the heir to a successful 60s sedan of the same name. And that Giulia paved the way for another performance sedan that would take on the BMWs of its day, too. It’s called the …

Crocker: The American Motorcycle Brand More Valuable Than Harley-Davidson

While Indian and Harley-Davidson may be the biggest names in American motorcycles today, they weren’t always the only ones. Indian in particular owes a lot to Henderson, maker of four-cylinder bikes. Henderson was preceded in turn by another four-cylinder brand, Pierce-Arrow. And there’s another American motorcycle company worth celebrating. One whose bikes command higher prices …

With Beetle Power, This WWII Volkswagen Can Go for a Schwimm

Given its best-selling status, the Volkswagen ‘Type 1’ Beetle’s influence shouldn’t be surprising. It inspired many cars beloved in their own right, like the Fiat 500 and 126p, the classic Mini Cooper, and the Chevrolet Corvair. But the Volkswagen Beetle did more than inspire cars; in some cases, it powered them. The Porsche 356, the …
