The Real GLC was a Mazda, not a Mercedes
Mercedes decided that GLC was such a great name that they are stealing it from Mazda! It was, after all, a Great Little Car! Today’s feature car is not just any GLC – it’s a wagon version with manual trans. Basically, this is a 33-year-old Mazda with 140K miles, which means it may only barely…

Chevy Rectum – err, Spectrum – In the Porn Capital of the World!
This Giugiaro-designed hatchback is an Isuzu Gemini (I-Mark in the US market) rebadged as a Chevy. Isuzu sold some cool, turbocharged variants of this car, but Chevy did not get them.

A Corolla for Restoration?
A rusty, rough Corolla is usually just a good candidate for scrap metal and engine donation, but this one is a rare convertible, done by a company called Griffith and likely sold at the Toyota dealer at the time. Does that mean it’s worth restoring? The good news here is 67K miles, but that can…
