APRIL 2013: A 1962 PONTIAC LE MANS CONVERTIBLE: "LOOKING FOR SOMETHING UNIQUE"
Carol and John Meyer own a 1962 Pontiac Le Mans convertible for two very good reasons: They wanted something a little different from the mainstream collector car market and they wanted something from 1962 because they were married in 1962.
The fact that their 1962 Poncho drop top was one of the most gawked-at cars at a large show was just an added bonus.
John was happy to fill in the blanks on the Le Mans because it was an unusual model from the General in 1962.

APRIL 2013 A WILD 1989 VOLVO- A CLARK KENT CAR WITH A BIG SURPRISE UNDER THE HOOD

The Buick Sport Wagon was a first cousin of the more famous Olds Vista Cruiser and there was reason to confuse the two luxury wagons from the General.

APRIL 2013:THIS 1965 CHEVY IMPALA SS CONVERTIBLE IS THE PERFECT RESTORATION
Those of us from a certain age remember a golden era of TV that included 'Bonanza' in the Sunday night lineup. The Cartwright boys were the toast of Virginia City and rode into town from their sprawling Ponderosa Ranch many times over their long TV run.
They rode magnificent horses during the series, including a beautiful Pinto owned by hot-headed Little Joe Cartwright.
There was one time the Cartwright boys showed up with a few TV friends like Samantha (Bewitched) Stevens and Napoleon (Man from UNCLE) Solo in frontier Virginia City with a different kind of transportation: the 1965 model lineup from Chevrolet.
