For Sale at Auction: 1940 Ford Deluxe in Carlisle, Pennsylvania

The Pick of the Day is a tastefully customized vintage convertible said to drive like a modern car

With Monterey Car Week around the corner, I can’t help but daydream about the wonderful drive along the Pacific Coast Highway.

Classic car week begins today in Arizona and, as always, the six auctions taking place in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area through January 18 will tout their offerings in hyperbolic terms.
