April 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

Well, for those who love the classic American pick-up truck, this is probably right up your alley. Enjoy this late fifties (albeit highly modernized) Chevrolet pick-up So, it appears the strange coincidences of this world have decided that, when I spot a Chevrolet Advanced Design, it is something like a 1958 or a 1959.

Mercury Marquis Colony Park (1973-1978)

February 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Feast your eyes out on this very, very long Mercury from car times long gone. This third generation whale of an American station wagon is in not all that swell a condition, but what it lacks in condition, it certainly makes up in length! This car has no doubt a very nice V8 engine under [...]

We haven’t seen a car on Coolhaven for a while now, so let’s go back to my lovely neighborhood. Fellow author Waizfisz is in the market for a nice first generation Ford Mustang, so you would expect that he would be posting American muscle cars here all the time.

Maybe the Cadillac of two posts before was a bit to ‘young’ for Waizfisz, this Impala sure must tickle his fancy. The pictures are a bit lousy, but it is rather difficult to shoot pictures of such a large car, while driving next to it… I don’t know why, but I kinda like this car! [...]

Saab 9-7X Arc 5.3i

December 16th, 2007 · No Comments

Another first for me… a black Saab SUV? How odd. I have never seen one of these before? Or have I not been paying attention? It looks kinda impressive, so let’s take some pictures. And that 5.3i on the back sure indicates it has quite an engine in it. Some Googling and wikipedia later, it [...]

Cadillac 1962 Coupe de Ville Convertible

September 30th, 2007 · No Comments

What a boat of a car! Really amazing! This Coupe de Ville has its front wheels parked on the sidewalk, but still it stands out at the back as well… This white classic Cadillac is in mint condition. I have never seen it before, so it’s probably a visitor. Good! I need more visitors with [...]
