McCarty’s 55 Chevy – Sentimental Value > Market Value

Sentimental value is greater than market value. In fact - authenticity is the one of the few things money can’t buy. You can buy 0-60, you can finance horsepower, and you can lease luxury. Hell, you can order the pinnacle of autonomous automotive perfection online,...

Where is the Gateway Car?

Jonathan Wooley recently made a simple observation that’s been rattling around in my head ever since: He said the automotive industry needs to start building inspiring cars for young people again. At first, I didn’t think much of it. After all, every generation thinks...
