You’ll Want To Be Seen In This 1966 Pontiac 2+2 Convertible
Pontiac, and GM overall, had several big cars in the 1960s, and the Catalinas were an interesting car in the mix - while these cars were considered to be lower down the line than the Bonnevilles, they carry a lot of the same options, including powertrains. This particular 1966 Pontiac from Carlisle's Lakeland Winter Collection is a rare 2+2 that proves that the Bonneville was hardly an inferior cousin in the B-Body lineup from GM.

This General Lee Makes Appearance With Powerful Upgrades
The General Lee is a big name within the classic Mopar muscle car community because of the “Dukes Of Hazzard” TV show that swept across the nation and quickly cemented itself as an icon in American car culture. The sight of the vintage Orange paint scraping up against trees, dirt, and tall grass as the Duke brothers ran from the cops is one that brought a smile to everyone’s face in the 1970s. However, most of the cars were demolished during the shooting of the show, which means that anyone with the dream of owning a General Lee of their own would be out of luck. Luckily we have a few particular automotive enthusiasts in the classic car community who are willing to put in the work to recreate one of those classic beasts.
