I'm amazed at the number of incredible Beaumont's that have survived after all these years. Before Canadian Poncho it was rare for me to spot a nice one. It's refreshing to know that there are quite a few surviving examples receiving excellent care. One such Beaumont is Kevin Cheyne's fantastic 67 SD...

It is my pleasure to feature Scott Jacklin's gorgeous 1968 Pontiac 2+2 for February. It's truly rare to see a '68 2+2 and ever rarer to see one as nice as this one. The 396 is icing on the cake.

Sure, winter is a good time to do some of those repairs or upgrades on our cars. In doing so the yearning for spring to ar...
