Mini Portfolio

 This site is an ongoing project. I have moved six times in the last three years, and so most of the hard copies are in storage. Here are a few of my articles for reference:

Just a few of the cars in my past

 


Loved this car, 1976 LTD, rust free and I was the second owner. Not sure about the horns though... (circa 2004)


People don't like the Cadillac 4.1 V8 (there was also a 4.1 V6) and in a limousine it was very underpowered, but there's no rush when you are surrounded by acres of black leather and electric gadgets. This was a 1985, photo from spring 2004.


1961 Pontiac Memphian ambulance, built on a longer Star Chief platform. Believed to be the only remaining short wheelbase 1961 Pontiac Memphian (~100 lwb were produced for the military) This one has 22k miles and served in a factory in Ohio. Photo from spring 2004. 


1961 on the road. As of 2021, this is still in the garage. 


1965 Starfire Convertible, purchased 2009, sold 2010. Nice car, very smooth and slightly sporty for a large car with leather bucket seats and a console. 370 bhp, 470 lb ft, 425 cu in. Along with the Buick Wildcat, one of the most underrated cars of the 60s - all the performance with the comfort of the full-size product line. A gentleman's muscle car.









                        At one point I had three luxury offerings for 1977, a New Yorker, warmed over 440,                                 straight dual exhausts, all power, and the following two, a Lincoln and Cadillac. Sold all three in 2012.





1977 Lincoln Mk V, 460, another surprisingly agile car








1977 Coupe Deville, 425, very reliable and comfortable.






1972 Mercury Monterey, 400, very unusual car these days. Also sold in 2012. 
Kept the stick-shift Wagoneer until 2016.
