pontiacDo you own an Orphan?  Many Classic Car enthusiasts do, and it looks like we will be getting some company soon.  An "Orphan" is the auto industry term for vehicles that are no longer supported by the manufacture or dealer network. Oldsmobile and Plymouth are a few of the most recent additions to the Orphanage, and these famous marquees will soon be joined by Pontiac.  Now, this news maybe disparaging to some.  However, for some automobile enthusiasts, the red badge of courage goes along with orphan status, fueling the desire to keep the grand marquee alive!

1954 Ford Crest SkylinerNot many people need to get a tow home after they buy a top-of -the-line, luxury car, but that's just what happened to Murray Edmunds of Halifax, Nova Scotia. He found and bought his 1954 Ford Crestline Skyliner in Toronto, Ontario in 1985, and had to get a friend to tow it half way across the country.

Perhaps $150 will pay for a new set of brake pads and installation. A pair of tires might draw that price. Depending on the car, it might be enough for a refurbished alternator. For Max Davis, $150 bought the car that got him to Bonita Springs less than four years ago. It was a white, aging Nissan that did the trick. That car and the $80 in his pocket were all he had when he arrived.

1937cordadOn a clear day in the fall of 1940, workers along the road from Tucson to Phoenix suddenly became aware of a plume of dust in the distance. There was nothing unusual about that - the road was just a trail of packed sand in those days - but this time, as the cloud came closer, its vortex approaching at a breakneck speed, the car did not slow down.

As the crew scrambled to safety, the yellow monster smashed through the barriers at the work site. Swerving wildly, the car plowed headlong into the ditch the workers had been digging,
