with all the coverage I've seen and shared of the recent MCACN, I thought it had been well covered. Nope. Here's Old Car Weekly showing a lot of cars that no one else did

Rocky Mountain purple, I posted about these years ago, https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2018/01/the-rocky-mountain-insurance-company.html an insurance company painted them this eye catching color, and gave them to it's insurance salesman as company cars to increase the salesman's interaction with possible customers, as a lot of people will stop and talk to someone with an interesting car


the 487" stroked hemi GTX that was street racing in Detroit, and pulled a 10 1/2 second quarter mile. The engineers at Plymouth used it as a development mule after work on Woodward Ave

Happy Canada Day!




I was born on the Canadian border, the Southern shore of Lake Superior, and everyone there had the habit of saying "eh" at the end of most sentences

If you had a handful of change, you could be sure there was a couple Canadian pennies in it.

How drastic did car insurance vary in 1967?


Rick Mitchell from Ontario, Canada, is the original owner of this 1967 Antique Pewter Metallic Pontiac Beaumont. It's equipped with the 396/350hp engine and M20 four-speed transmission, he bought it in March of 1967.

He initially wanted to order a 1967 427/435hp Corvette, but insurance would have been $3,000 a year. The Beaumont insurance ended up being $124 a year.
