Produced between the 1982 and 1988 model years, the Cadillac Cimarron was offered as the luxury automaker’s entry-level vehicle, and is often considered an egregious example of badge engineering, sharing quite a few similarities with several other J-platform-based vehicles, including the Chevy Cavalier, Pontiac J2000, Oldsmobile Firenze, and Buick Skyhawk, among others. Despite its less-than-stellar reputation, uncovering a clean, low-mileage example is always interesting. Now, that’s exactly what we get with the following Cimarron from the 1987 model year, currently listed for sale in a new online auction.

Faulty airbags manufactured by Takata have been a thorn in the sides of safety regulators, automakers, and consumers for years now, as those units were installed in millions of vehicles made by multiple manufacturers for a long time. Even today, years after the largest recall in automotive history was issued over the particular problem, there are still a lot of vehicles driving around with faulty airbags that can rupture and lead to injuries or worse – death. Now, Ford has issued a do-not-drive advisory for many of those impacted models.

Full-size luxury convertibles are scarce in today's automotive landscape, but Cadillac may be reviving the segment with the gorgeous Sollei, an all-electric concept that celebrates the automaker's legacy of high-end convertibles. Cadillac says the design pushes the envelope of "future bespoke commissions," which suggests the Sollei may make it to production - perhaps as a bespoke Spectre rival built in limited numbers. Sollei is a portmanteau of sun (Sol) and leisure (Lei), which is what this vehicle is all about.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

For Ford fans, the performance years of the 1960s brought one advancement after another, and that time line begins with Ford’s assault at Indy in 1963 with its DOHC V-8 based on the small-block Windsor. Meanwhile, Ford’s “big-block”—the FE engine family—which began modestly in 1958 at 332-, 352-, and 360-cubic-inch displacements—had by the time of this story grown to 427 cubes and would power Ford to wins at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967. The subject of Eric Dahlquist’s original story, the 427-ci SOHC “Cammer,” was based on the FE and showed what could be done quickly within the warrens of Ford powertrain. At the time, it was unknown whether the engine would see production in factory-built cars (it wouldn’t), but for a short time the hemi-headed cammer would please crowds in A/FX cars built by Holman & Moody and Bill Stroppe Engineering before becoming a darling in the nitro-fueled ranks in front of drivers like Don Prudhomme, Connie Kalitta, Jack Chrisman, and Don Nicholson. —Johnny Hunkins.

Coming off a total redesign for the 2024 model year, the 2025 Ford Mustang wasn’t expected to receive too many updates, though thus far, The Blue Oval has revealed a few. Given the fact that 2024 marks 60 years since the iconic pony car made its official debut – and 2025 is 60 years since it went on sale (basically, as there were some early 1964.5 models) – there is some room for a few special anniversary offerings, however. The latest of which is this – the return of a very special color for the 2025 Ford Mustang.
