Features:
DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE - There may have been a bit of an overlap in terms of customers back in 1955 for Oldsmobile and Buick. As these two cars illustrate, you could choose to option them (or not, as is the case) to make a car as luxurious or as basic as possible
COLLECTORMANIA! - If you've got some serious money to spend on some of the finest American classics in the States, read on ...
CAR OF THE YEAR! - It was a close thing, but we found ourselves a fantastic Car of the Year for 1998: none other than CoTY heat winner from 1995, Tony Paton's superb '51 Pontiac Chieftain Convertible
BONNEVILLE'S BIRTHDAY BONANZA - Barry Wiseman just can't get enough of Bonneville and those fabulous old cars that defy their years and turn up to race against the clock. We head out to the salt flats to check out some interesting machinery in one of the most visually stunning landscapes
DELIGHTFUL DATTELN - Tony Oksien, Classic American's very own Mr Mopar, took a trip to visit one of Germany's biggest Mopar shows. Nice Mopars? You betcha!
FALCON RALLYE SPRINT -THE FORGOTTEN FIGHTER - As part of Ford's 'Total Performance' programme, FoMoCo shoe-horned its newly introduced 260cu.in. V8 into its compact offering, the Falcon. Teasing 260bhp from the little V8 mill, Ford found they had a potent racer on their hands ... so they went racing! Bob Campbell takes up the story
TRUCKTASTIC! - A monument to one man's labour of love, this Peterbilt has to be one of the finest examples of American trucks in the UK. Paul Guinness pays tribute to owner Paul Scase and his amazing truck. Some boys just never grow up!
THE GLAMOUR KING - California is home to just about every car trend ever spawned, including some of the classiest custom jobs ever seen. John d'Agostino is widely held to be the Botticeli of the modern customising scene. Here he unveils two of his latest creations - both Cadillacs, of course.
BACK TO BASICS - This 1968 Corvette has been gold certified by the Classic Corvette Club UK. That means it's as close to perfection as can be. Under the bonnet lies a big block Chevrolet 427cu.in. V8 tri-power - a machine that looks like it could eat up the road and spit it out the other end, just sitting still!
RUSSIAN REVOLUTION? - Continuing our quest for American cars around the world, we come to one of the most unusual locales to find such machinery: behind the former Iron Curtain. Yes, it seems the Russians are catching on quick, as Andrei Chrisanfov confirms
