There had to be a reason for Dwight Anderson not to buy a stellar, time-capsule Chevrolet 1979 K5 Blazer when it fell into his lap last year. But Anderson couldn't think of any. A resident of rural Blue Mounds in south central Wisconsin, Anderson has an awesome fleet of four vintage MoPar muscle cars in his well-appointed country "man cave."

Like other car labels, "sports-personal car" has strengths and weaknesses. Trade publications such as Ward's Automotive Yearbook originally called them "specialty cars." The "personal" separates these vehicles from "family" cars. They are mainly two-door cars with limited rear seating room.

There are a whole bunch of cars that we'd like to have from Vanderbrink Auctions' upcoming Dick Pellows Collection sale. If we had to pick one, we might go with this sweet 1936 Ford four-door phaeton. Pellows got it from a Barrett-Jackson sale a few years back and it has been in a private museum recently. It's got 41,759 miles on the odometer and had some restoration work done quite a few years ago. This baby checks all the boxes for a fun hobby car. We'd fold that top down and give that flathead V-8 as much exercise we could, every chance we got. Somebody is going to take it home on June 26, and hopefully they appreciate it as much as we would!
