Auctions: Barrett-Jackson 2012: 1964 Cadillac JFK Hearse garners final bid of $160,000 [w/video] 1327203000
What price would you pay to own a piece of history? We're thinking that might depend on what sort of historic significance we're talking about... or, in the case of this 1964 Cadillac Hearse, how morbid that history may be. As you may remember, Barrett-Jackson in 2011 auctioned off a 1963 ...

If you're as excited as we are by the 2012 Chevy Camaro ZL1, it might be wise to understand the historical significance of those three letters at the end of Chevy's retrofied muscle car. Way back in 1969 – a year some consider to be the apogee of Camaro history – the automaker built ...

Most, if not all, know the story of the 1948 Tucker sedan. Yes, there was a movie, and it's well worth watching. But even if you've never seen or heard of a the machine, one look at Preston Tucker's Torpedo is all it takes for you to realize it's something special. Just 51 Tucker Torpedo sedans ...

Of all the concept cars ever shown off to a fawning public, one of the coolest has got to be this 1954 Desoto Adventurer II Coupe. It was originally built in 1954, and it sits atop a Chrysler Imperial chassis with a body designed and built by Ghia. It's not surprising that this Desoto Ghia ...

Auctions: Barrett-Jackson 2012: 1933 Pierce-Arrow sells for $2 million [UPDATE: w/video] 1327191900
For the first time since 1973, a Pierce-Arrow Silver Arrow has gone up for auction. Just five of these historic machines were ever built, and only three are known to exist today. So, it's rare.
