It's a '59, and yeah, I definitely prefer the earlier style to the later, faired-headlamp cars. Also, the DS and ID are generally considered to be two distinct models—the ID, as you noted, being the more basic model with hyrdopneumatic suspension but conventional brakes and non-assisted steering, while the DS had…

Thanks. It's an early DS, and it's a little bit of a fixer upper (but that's part of the fun as far as I'm concerned).

It doesn't need to be a fast car, a sports car, or even an expensive car—how about whatever makes you happy? For me, as a middle-aged guy, I just wanted one of the few cars I've always wanted, ever since I was a kid. And that's just what's parked in my garage:

Sounds like it "runs" but won't idle. But with seized calipers, good luck taking it on a test drive!

It *might* be a $1000 beater if it ran and drove, but it doesn't (seized calipers, won't idle, and who knows what else once you actually get it moving under its own power). You could easily spend $500 getting the brakes and fuel system sorted out (did you see how much…

And while that's pretty good for a 4300-lb. land yacht, the LT1-powered version that was available from '94-'96 had 90 more horsepower, 80 more lb-ft of torque, and is rated…

I've owned a bunch of different wagons—mostly European—but I've had a big, body-on-frame, V8, bench-seat, column-shift, room-for-8, fake-wood-festooned American wagon on my wishlist for a long time. Recently, I finally bought an LT1-powered Roadmaster and I've gotta say, I dig it. No, it's not as much fun to drive…
