Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: Wizard Of Oz Tin Man's '69 Cadillac For More Than $9600?
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: Wizard Of Oz Tin Man's '69 Cadillac For More Than $9600?-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:20

There's no end to the choices here, even after 57% of voters went with "Nice Price" on the yesterday. Today we're going to explore the value of fame in a car, in this case a '69 Cadillac Fleetwood- a cool machine in its own right- that was once owned by , the man who played the Tin Man in The Wizard Of Oz. The last time it went up on eBay, the $9,600 top bid failed to meet the reserve, so it's apparent that the seller feels the Tin Man connection to be an extremely valuable one. That's apparent in his selection of photographs; when the car itself isn't as important as its intangibles, you shoot the photos with the sun behind the car and your family posed in front of it, throwing in a single shot of the hood emblem for good measure. Well, what do you think? Cool car, interesting past… but worth over $9,600?

Hindustan Ambassador: The Jalopnik Review
Hindustan Ambassador: The Jalopnik Review
The one car I knew I had to drive if I ever went to India was the Hindustan Ambassador. Going to India and not driving one would be like going to Philadelphia and not eating a cheesesteak, or going to Paris and avoiding the Eiffel Tower, or going to Colombia...

For $3,950, Yo Quiero Roadmaster?
For $3,950, Yo Quiero Roadmaster?
The term Rat, when applied to a car, implies a certain level of, how shall we say, rattiness that itself implies a focus on function over form. Despite its seller giving it that appellation, today’s Buick Roadmaster is more a whale than a rat, but would paying its price make...

For $8,500, What’s The Hurst That Could Happen?
Before they went belly up, Oldsmobile attempted to cast off the stigma of their previous products with the ad tagline Not your Father’s Oldsmobile. Today’s Olds may actually BE your old man’s Cutlass, but does its price make you say oh man? Wow, fully 56% of you yesterday asked Y...

For $6,000, Don’t Get Mad, Get Nomad
For $6,000, Don’t Get Mad, Get Nomad
From the Greek, nomades, Nomads are pastoral tribes, people who roam the land rather than settling in one permanent home. Today’s Nomad homage Malibu is coincidentally looking for a new home. Will its price however, have you saying, move along, move along? Clocking in with an impressive 72% Crack Pipe...

2013 Chevy Sonic RS: The Jalopnik Review
Remember the Chevy Aveo? You probably wish that you didn't. Chevy also hopes you don't. That's why they brought out this, the Sonic RS. Compared to the Aveo, it's the greatest car in the world. The Sonic is the car tasked with remedying generations of small car disappointments from Chevy....

For $10,000, There’s Nothing This Astro Is Creolac’ing
For $10,000, There’s Nothing This Astro Is Creolac’ing
Historically, Creole meant native born rather than foreign born. Today’s Caddy-van is claimed to honor its builders heritage, but will its price have you going native? Not even a trio of famously branded shift levers rising from the center console like an explosion of magic mushrooms could sway you all...
