What's in our Car Town garage today?

1973 Toyota Celica Liftback

While many refer to this JDM classic as a "Japanese Mustang", probably because of the liftback looks that reminiscent of the classic Mustang Liftback, the Celica Liftback is just one of the many reasons how does the Celica story began. Of course, this model is based on the first-generation model, the one that started the Celica chapter.

1967 BMW 2000 CS

Since BMW stopped making the Bertone-designed 3200 CS in 1965, they made this bespoke luxury coupe that succeeds where the 3200 CS left off, only this time as the name implies, it was powered by a 2.0L engine derived from the M10 engine. For the 2000 CS model, the 2.0L engine develops 120HP of power output thanks to the added dual carburetors while mated with a 4-speed manual gearbox.

1966 Pontiac Bonneville

Made from the days when General Motors' Pontiac brand axed the Tri Power engines for corporate reasons, the fourth-generation models see a hike in the engine displacement and for this one, you can expect a big, bulky, 7.0L V8 engine developing 390HP of power output. This model uses GM's B platform, which at its time, it was the fourth best selling platform in history.
