Some classic cars are purchased, restored, enjoyed, and eventually sold to make room for the next project. Others become part of the family, accumulating memories and sentimental value that can't be measured in dollars and cents. For Eddie and Rebecca Solis of Chino Hills, California, their beautiful Cobalt Blue 1971 Chevrolet El Camino falls squarely into the latter category.

There's something downright intoxicating about a classic American muscle car that looks like it means business. Black paint, big rear tires, a nasty V8 rumble, and enough horsepower to make the laws of physics seem more like friendly suggestions than hard-and-fast rules.

There's something magical about an American muscle car with a thunderous V8, a menacing stance, and enough horsepower to make the rear tires beg for mercy. Throw in a couple of turbochargers, a supercharger, or a full-blown racing engine, and things get interesting in a hurry!

If you had a virtually unlimited budget, what classic cars would you buy? Many of us have asked this question, but only a select few have the means to pursue that dream. Tim Allen — also known as Tim "The Toolman" Taylor from Home Improvement and the voice of Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story — is a diehard car guy with an incredible collection that includes a variety of obscure and tasteful vehicles. A video crew from the Petersen Automotive Museum recently met Tim Allen at his garage to take a look at his entire collection.

The 1984-96 C4 Corvette brought GM's flagship sports car into a new era of technology and refinement. Features such as the new "uniframe" construction, transverse leaf spring front suspension, sleek glass hatchback, and LCD gauge cluster made this Corvette feel modern, but the standard 230-horsepower L98 V8 left many enthusiasts wishing for more performance. GM would eventually respond in 1990 with the Corvette ZR-1, but back in the mid-80s, a company called Callaway Cars was quietly working on a twin-turbocharged C4 variant that would get the whole world's attention. The Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette was available through Chevrolet dealers under RPO B2K and offered European supercar performance at a fraction of the cost, plus a full factory warranty.

Few automobiles occupy a more fascinating corner of Corvette history than the five original 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sports.

They weren't production Corvettes with bigger engines. They weren't ordinary Sting Rays converted into race cars. And despite their familiar C2 silhouette, they shared surprisingly little with the Corvette sitting on a Chevrolet showroom floor in 1963.

Founder of the Ford Motor Company and inventor of the assembly line at the start of the Industrial Revolution, Henry Ford is famous for saying the following, "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black". Now Mr. Ford, mind you, was saying that to save money and time, as the Ford Model T's matriculated down the assembly line from approximately 1914 to 1926. As you lay your eyes on this ink well deep, three dimensional jet-black 1997 GMC Yukon GT 4WD, you're probably wondering what in the heck does a bunch of black tin lizzies training down Henry's production line have to do with this commanding beauty?

California classic-car enthusiasts scored a significant legislative victory on September 16, 2026, when Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1392 (SB 1392), better known as “Leno’s Law,” at Jay Leno’s Garage in Burbank, California. The new law creates a limited, phased-in exemption from California’s Smog Check requirements for qualifying collector vehicles from the 1976 through 1985 model years.
