Classic Cars

The grandfather of all hot hatches, Volkswagen’s Golf GTI Mk 1 established a winning formula which remains largely unchanged even today: peppy engine in the front, compact family car in the middle, hatch in the back. We absolutely love these! What do you think?

This past month marks the 70th anniversary of the #Maserati A6G 2000, the car that started Maserati's decades-long tradition of fast, beautiful, sonorous road cars. The car was powered by a 2L straight-six producing between 90-100 horsepower, and featured a top speed of 112 MPH.

The beautiful, fast, rare, iconic Lancia 037 Stradale... if you were one of the lucky few to own one, would you drive it this hard?

Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️ This year, give your car-loving loved one a gift with a heart-shaped grille — an #AlfaRomeo!

Cars from the 1980s are rapidly rising in value. This beautiful Alfa Romeo GTV6, for example, just sold online for $37,000. What do you think — are cars from this era just now being properly valued, or are these inflated prices?

Alfa Romeo Junior Zagato 1300 — a rare, handmade goddess of the road. What do you think of this departure from Alfa’s typical style?

Can the effortless elegance of the Ferrari 250 GT California ever be topped? We don’t think so. With modern safety and design regulations, kinetic art like this just can’t be made anymore — it is an intensely beautiful relic of a bygone era.

Just imagine if these Bertone-designed Alfa Romeo Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica concept cars, or “B.A.T.” cars, had made it to production. What a wonderful, wacky world that would be! Italian car designers in the 1950s-1960s were some of history’s most inspired artists.

Inexpensive convertible fun — the original Fiat 124 Spider is one of the most undervalued classic cars on the market. Pininfarina penned some beautiful cars, and this is among the prettiest of them.

The Alfa Romeo Montreal isn’t a car you’d think much of at first glance. But the more you look at it, the more you take in its lines... well, the more you can’t help but fall in love!

We’re having a hard time figuring out what kind of car this is... what could it possibly be? It seems Italian... any hints?

A brown 1971 Ford Escort Mk 1 — does it get more classic “early ‘70s” than that?

As pointed out by a fan of the page, the Lancia Beta Coupe is as timeless as it is handsome. This particular Beta is especially rare... any guesses as to why?

@thespafixer There is absolutely a case for the Beta Coupe! It seems some of the best cars of the era were overshadowed by those from more famous marques. Drivers who are privileged enough to own Lancias and Alfas from that era know just how special those cars really are.

@Classic_Motor Very nice, probably got better as it evolved into the GTV. Depends on what you term a GT car, but I think there's a case for the Beta Coupe?

Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, we strongly believe the Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT (and the later GTV6) is perhaps the greatest and most underrated Italian GT car of the late ‘70s and ‘80s. What do you think?

It may not be the most collectible of the 105 series, but we really don’t know why. The 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV begs the question: “why did they ever stop making these gorgeous cars?”

We have a special love for the flowing lines and elegance of the timeless BMW 3.0 CSi. Anyone who’s seen one in-person and not just in photos understands the allure. It really is a car you could just stare at for hours.

Alfa Romeos are so indescribably special. What do you think gives them their intense allure? Their looks? The way the drive? The sounds they make? We can’t decide!

It is said the true test of any designer is to see if they can design a car to look like it is moving even if it’s perfectly still. Let’s all agree the #Ferrari 250 GT Lusso, one of the most beautiful cars ever made, is the benchmark for that test.

Trivia: Who can recognize this classic car from the 1969 movie The Italian Job? Hint... it’s not a Mini Cooper!
