Automotive Mileposts

Automotive Mileposts provides authenticity, restoration data, and history for classic car and vintage auto enthusiasts. We specialize in American-made, traditional and personal luxury cars of the 1950s through the 1970s, with some overlap into other decades and types of vehicles, as necessary to tell the complete story of the classic cars we feature on the site.

Restoration data helpful to restorers and collectors is thoroughly researched and authenticated, and includes introduction dates, correct paint color names and codes for each year, make, and model, a complete list of standard equipment and optional features, including pricing and option or accessory codes when available, with any changes for the year noted. Mechanical specifications include engine availability, displacement, and horsepower; transmissions used; rear axle ratios; weight and height specifications; width and length measurements; and any factory codes that allow identification of these parts. Production numbers and original manufacturer's suggested retail prices are broken down by body style, and include mid-year price changes if applicable.

Complete interior trim descriptions, including materials, colors, seating configurations, and trim codes are provided, plus vinyl roof and convertible top colors, textures, and codes, plus paint stripe data. Additional attention is given to rare trim packages and special edition models. Factory show cars, concept cars, and prototypes are covered, as are changes made to the cars during the production run. Photographs are used to provide details that are difficult to describe, and to serve as a visual reference. Technical tips, service bulletins, and other information is provided in informative articles, and through our experts on the AUTOPOSTS Classic Car Forum.
