Debbie Powless became a lifelong Buick fan the day her grandfather gave her his beautifully kept Electra 225, but it took years before that love turned into this: a fully restored 1971 Buick Riviera GS Gran Sport in Vintage Red with a 455 under the hood. Lou Costabile caught up with Debbie in the northern suburbs of Chicago to hear how a single family car turned into a genuine passion. Watch to find out why.
A 1976 Dodge Aspen R/T doesn’t look like a factory Super Bee — because in the U.S., that car never existed. Chrysler kept the nameplate alive four extra years exclusively for Mexico, grafting a Dodge front end to a Plymouth’s tail and fitting an engine American buyers couldn’t get. One grandfather-grandson build project set out to recreate it from scratch, one badge and taillight at a time.
