Appreciation For Origination: 1950 Ford Custom

 by The Professor -- Yes, that's right, I like them clean, mostly original, and CHEAP! (relatively speaking). Up for your consideration, a 1950 Ford Custom offered for $9,500 on Craigslist. Stodgy you say? Sure is. Homely you might even say? Maybe, but look at how clean that puppy looks. Can't you just see your old man, cruising along, puffing on his pipe, wife along side, with 2.5 kids riding in the back? And the dog, don't forget the family dog. No word on how many repaints it's had, or how recently, but it looks to be well done from here. OK, so it's a 4 door sedan, I might have ho hummed this one too, but, look under the hood.

Sensible Shoes: 1964 Dodge Dart GT

by The Professor-- Today’s cherry pick comes from the lush green hills of Bristol TN, or it could be Bristol VA., depending on which side of State Street this thing is parked on. No matter, if you are looking for an example of basic 60’s American automotive conservatism, this one would be hard to ignore. This very presentable, drivers quality 1964 Dodge Dart GT offered for $7,500 via craigslist still wears the same fabrics and color that it left the factory with. Sensible shoes indeed.
