1966 Olds 4-4-2
It might not have been the dumbest thing he’s ever done, but Paul Tyler figures it was on the short list.
For some reason — temporary insanity being the most plausible excuse — the Tampa, Fla., resident sold his beloved 1966 Oldsmobile 4-4-2.

1932 Pierce Arrow Model 54
Somehow, Pierce-Arrow managed to lose $3 million in 1932, and the following year the company was sold to a new group of investors. Six years later, in the summer of 1938, the revered automaker went belly-up.

1969 Dodge Charger “General Lee” for sale!
A “real” General!
“Dukes” fans will recall the original General Lee was of the 1969 vintage, as evidenced by the proper grille and taillights. Unlike the ’68 and ’70 cars that were modified for shooting, this particular Charger is a true 1969 example, as verified by its chassis number, and is finished in the traditional bright orange with a hand-painted rendition of the rebel flag on the roof and the instantly recognizable “01” numbers on the doors.

1957 Pontiac Bonneville
Pontiac’s entry into the modern V-8 era in 1955 was overshadowed by the media focus upon Chevrolet’s new Turbofire V-8. Both marques had previously produced V-8 engines — Chevy in 1917, Pontiac in 1932 — but those efforts belonged in the distant past. In the mid-‘50s, Chevrolet and Pontiac shared a common interest in shedding their conservative images and the best place to start was under the hood.
