Seen In SoCal: 1965 Chevrolet Impala

Posted by Jeff Glucker on Friday, November 07, 2008 9:06 AM

1965 Chevrolet Impala
This 1965 Chevy Impala still prowls the streets of Southern California, always ready for an impromptu sock hop or drive-in movie…

Driving through local Southern California neighborhoods, I come across a lot of classic American muscle cars. Every now and then I see one which makes me want to take a closer look. The color of this 1965 Chevrolet Impala caused me to swing my car around and talk to the owner, Doug Enfinger, just as he was finishing hosing off the car. Clearly a man who cares for his classic car, Doug agreed to  a few questions and some pictures of this beautiful, very green Impala, which Doug has lovingly named "The Dill." More...

Seen in Socal: 1966 Ford Thunderbird

Posted by Jeff Glucker on Wednesday, October 01, 2008 9:37 AM

1966 Ford Thunderbird
This 1966 Ford Thunderbird still soars around the Southern California streets.

A 1966 Ford Thunderbird is an iconic piece of American iron. Thankfully, here in Southern California many of these classic "flair birds" are spared from the wrath of rust -- at least to the degree that cars in other parts of the country endure. This particular Thunderbird is in great shape, and we got a chance to chat with her owner to find out a little more. More...

Seen in SoCal: Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

Posted by Jeff Glucker on Monday, September 08, 2008 1:18 PM

Porsche Carrera 4S Rear
The classic lines of the Porsche 911 are beautiful even in Heinz 57 red.

I was walking to my car (the 2008 Infiniti G37 Sport that I am reviewing), and I noticed a 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S sitting nearby. Sure the red color catches your eye, but upon second glance, it was the Porsche's license plate that struck me.

People dream of many things, but for this person that dream was a Porsche, and they reached out to get it. More...

Seen in SoCal: VW Type 3 Squareback

Posted by Jeff Glucker on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 2:38 PM

VW Type 3
This classic example of the people's car has been painted "Congrats, It's A Boy!" blue.

Here in SoCal we come across high-end exotics all of the time (go back and take a look at the Ferrari F40 and the Morgan Aero 8), but sometimes it is the other end of the scale that catches my attention. Caught in the mid-day sun, perhaps trying to tan it's pale blue skin a darker shade, was this awesome example of the classic VW Type 3, also known as the 1600, or more affectionately, the Squareback.

Seen in SoCal: Morgan Aero 8

Posted by Jeff Glucker on Friday, August 15, 2008 1:25 PM


The Morgan Aero 8 ... bug-eyed but still beautiful.

Here in Southern California, I come across all manner of automotive awesomeness. I see Ferraris, Bentleys, and other exotic cars on a weekly basis. One car I had never seen before is the Morgan Aero 8 ... until now.

Walking out of lunch the other day, I spotted this specimen sitting in the valet court practically screaming to be driven at questionable speeds. This car is capable of 0-60 jaunts in the sub 4.5 second range and has a top speed of 170 mph. More...
