Motor Trend - July 1994 Look back over the 100-plus years of automobilia. You won't find a car that's mirrored the ever-changing American consumer's tastes as closely as has Thunderbird. What began in '55 as a sporty-looking two-seat competitor to the Corvette quickly grew into a four-seat luxury machine and metamorphosed through four separate styling...

98 Altima - Alarm Problem I just got a 98 Altima GXE a few days ago, and i've noticed that the car alarm keeps going off randomly. It's gone off many times overnight, waking me up every time, and twice today during the day, with a count of about 6-8 times in the few days i've had it. I don't really want to have to disable it, is there any way to fix it on...

I have a 1977 Fiat Spider and want to get Classic Coverage for it. So far all the companies are requiring that it be in a locked garage. Anyone know of a company who will give me coverage even if it is in a carport? Thanks, Josh

Hello, I am new to this group, but I wanted to post this for anyone's consideration. My grandmother has a 1964 Pontiac Convertible that she wants to sell. The vehicle needs a lot of replacement parts. Basically, it's a great project car. Anybody know of anyone interested, or anyone know what the worth of it might be ? Thanks, Cruisin' in NY

Found this one in a prairie salvage yard and thought it was worth saving. According to the license plate on it, they stopped using it on the farm about 1967. It earned some dents and a couple of bangs but hasn't got much rust other than the surface. It is now parked in my driveway, near Parrsboro Nova Scotia http :// s19.photobucket,com /albums/b162/classicends/1952%20Fargo%20PU/ Asking...

Hello, I am trying to identify a movie from a single picture I have, which shows a car radio and a portion of the dashboard. I have so far identified the radio as being a US Blaupunkt Frankfurt, probably from the late 60s, and I was wondering whether anyone here would be able to identify the car (maybe a Porsche) from the small part of the dashboard that...
