75k Original Miles: 1990 Cadillac Allanté

Adam Clarke — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Releasing an entirely new model is a practice that automotive manufacturers avoid where possible. It is a high-risk venture, and carrying over as many components as possible from other offerings within the product range reduces the risk of sales...

Scotty Gilbertson — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 04:00:00 +0000

Scotty Gilbertson — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:00:00 +0000

“Woodgrain, or not woodgrain, that is the question”, to paraphrase Bill Shakespeare, who I’m just assuming would have been a big fan of full-sized Mercury station wagons. The seller has beautifully presented this 1978 Mercury Marquis Wagon here on...

Russ Dixon — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 20:00:00 +0000

Adam Clarke — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 18:05:00 +0000

Ron Denny — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 21:00:00 +0000
