Christine the movie star Okay, so apparently in Stephen King’s book Christine, the car (Christine) was a 1958 Plymouth Fury four-door; and as anybody who frequents this space knows, there was no such thing. This has sparked a long-winded debate on the IMCDB (Internet Movie Cars Data Base) about the car used for the movie, [...]

On the agenda of Buffalo’s planning board: The Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus wants to add a ninth floor to its planned eight-story parking ramp at the corner of Michigan Avenue and High Street.

1961 Lincoln Continental, Wilson, N.Y. This nifty 1961 Lincoln Continental convertible has been playing musical parking lots for the past month or so in the Village of Wilson. I imagine the owner keeps moving it around for maximum exposure, as it’s for sale. Every time I see one of these it reminds me of President [...]

’63 Galaxie 500, North Tonawanda, N.Y. If you’re interested, you can see this 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 four-door sedan parked next to a repair garage in North Tonawanda.
