Apache Dreams

Originally part of the GM Task Master series trucks the 1959 Chevrolet Apache offered maximum-economy options along with optional heater, ‘hydrovac’ power brake, or windshield washer.

Looking For Clues

I watched with a grin as she knelt down on the pavement, in her fancy silver snake print jacket, leaning under the rear of the silver 1966 Nova on all fours. It seemed silly to me that she would crawl under a 50 year old car in Scottsdale at the “premier lifestyle event”. Now that […]
