Mazda's transition mostly means sharp exterior styling and rich interior materials.

Ford gave auto enthusiasts something to be happy about in summer 2020—a season otherwise filled with dreary news. That’s when the Blue Oval announced the imminent return of the legendary Bronco. It took nearly a year for the new Bronco SUV to reach showrooms. During the wait, enthusiasm for the beloved...

It was originally designed as a lightweight military vehicle that could be dropped into combat by parachute.

McQueen mostly used the truck for camping trips.

The 1966 George Barris Batmobile is probably the one you know. But it’s neither the first Batmobile, or in my mind, the purest expression of automotive Batmania. That distinction goes to Forrest Robinson’s original ground-up 1959-1963 design, an extraordinary vehicle up for on eBay from July 4.

Hundreds of journalists traveled last week to Milan, the birth place of Alfa Romeo, to see Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne unveil a new sedan. The event is part of a marketing blitz to bring back Alfa Romeo—and its design and performance heritage—to the United States.

Cars in movies are more than props. They commonly serve more like wardrobe, shedding light on a character—or they act as plot devices to build drama or get a laugh. In the case of this tricked-out 2003 Hyundai Tiburon used in HBO’s Entourage series, it’s a non-stop rolling punch line about Lloyd’s desire to be noticed...

Ferrari has a wonderful tradition of building limited-series sports cars that are blindingly fast and exquisitely designed—but that can be driven by mere mortals on everyday streets. Think: 288 GTO, the F40, the F50, and the Enzo. The latest model, introduced in 2013, is the ultimate in accessible high-performance...

A general search for a McLaren vehicle on eBay reveals a couple dozen MP4-12C supercars. The MP4 (or simply 12C) is the follow-up to the legendary McLaren F1. It’s hard to know precisely how many 12C cars were produced between 2011 and 2014, but probably a few thousand. However, we know that the production for the...

Everybody knows that hybrid cars are nerd-mobiles. That is, except anybody who has laid eyes on the Porsche 919, built for racing in the Le Mans Prototype (LMP) category of the FIA World Endurance Championship.

It’s widely assumed that American muscle cars are all about horsepower. But that overlooks the race for aerodynamics that characterized the 1969 and 1970 Nascar Grand National seasons, known as the “Aero Wars.” The fierce competition between Ford and Chrysler reached epic proportions, when Ford built the 1970 Ford...

In 1994, six vintage automobiles were acquired, restored, and painted white. Then, the artist Hiro Yamagata and about 20 assistants painted fanciful natural designs, based on photographs of nature. It was a mashup of Daimler and Gauguin. The series called “Earthly Paradise,” grew to about 20 cars, including the 1952...

When exploring the world of fine collectible automobiles, you will frequently encounter this term: bespoke. It’s just a highfalutin way of describing something that is customized or made-to-order. In the case of this, ahem, extremely rare $2 million 1950 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith now on sale on eBay, there’s a single...

A 1970 Chrysler 300H convertible, used to promote Hurst aftermarket performance products, will forever be associated with racing queen Linda Vaughn. The unique vehicle is now on sale on eBay.
