D For Dominance: 1961 Devin D

Back in the 1960s a guy named Bill Devin (originally from Oklahoma) sold fiberglass bodies out of El Monte, California that were designed to mount on top of Volkswagen chassis.  Devin also supplied the ladder frame with box tubing, so you didn't have the weight of a VW pan.  Find this 1961 Devin D here on eBay bidding for $8,409 reserve-not-met with 4 days to go.

Aircooled Face-Off: 1958 Devin D vs 1976 Kelmark GT

Time for another classic car face-off, where you get to pick which car you'd drive if given the chance, but today (naturally) we've added a twist.  Not only are these two cars located in the same city, but they are being offered by the same seller, so your decision doesn't have to get made until after you give each a test drive.  The contenders: a 1958 Devin D for $10,000 vs this 1976 Kelmark GT for $7,000, both offered for sale in Evergreen, CO via craigslist.  Tip from Zach.

El Milagro Español: 1969 SEAT 600 D

The Spanish miracle (El Milagro Español) was the post Civil War economic boom that started in 1959 and ended roughly in 1974 with the global oil crisis.  In this period of time Spain's economy blossomed and it went from being a war torn hell hole into the ninth largest economy in the world (and second only in growth percentage to post war Japan)...and a large part of the credit is attributed to a small economy build on a license from Fiat.  Find this 1969 SEAT 600 D offered for $9,500 in San Jose, CA via craigslist.  Tip from Kaibeezy.
