1972 Lincoln Mark IV: The Jalopnik Classic Review

Forget all about Jimmy Fallon and that puddle of beige goo Lincoln has been calling cars of late. Let's go back to a time when Lincoln meant class. It meant style. It meant "personal luxury" and all of the loud polyester tie, wide lapel wearing glory that entails.

1969 Fiat 500 Berlina: The Jalopnik Classic Review

In Italy, old Fiat 500s are ubiquitous the way aging VW Beetles are everywhere else. They weren't around for as long – from 1957 until 1975 (as opposed to the Beetle's much longer five-plus decade run) – but they make a lot of sense on narrow Italian streets, so a lot of people bought them over the years. Here in the…

A Morass of Mid-Atlantic Merkurs

Alluring (asinine) alliteration aside, allow me to set the scene for a rare sighting. You are a Boy Scout in a suburb of the nation’s capital. As a Troop, on this fine Saturday morning, you are out delivering mulch, the lifeblood of a fundraising operation. On your fourth trailer load of the day, your back is hurtling …

1941 Studebaker Champion: The Jalopnik Classic Review

Remember the car you had at 16? I remember mine. A Wrigley's-gum beige 1968 VW Beetle I saved up $600 to buy when I was 15, then waited and stared at every day until I turned 16 and could actually drive it. Of course, it was wrecked within a year or so, because that's what usually happens to cars owned by 16 year old…

1972 Volkswagen Type III Fastback: The Jalopnik Classic Review

First of all, this car has a name. Of course this car has a name. This lovely, citrusy 1972 Volkswagen Type III Fastback is named Edna, after the archetypical Little Old Lady that was the previous owner of the car. That human-Edna sold car-Edna to Joy Ivy eight years ago, when the VW had only an astounding 15,000…

What's This Button Do?

I was just in a very interesting car for an upcoming Jalopnik Classic review, and I noticed this control on the dash. Now, in a classic car, you often encounter symbols that are a bit different from the standard set almost every car uses now. I quickly flipped through my Mental Dash Control Symbols chart and came up…
