| Relive the 1960s with a pair of custom Mustang convertibles built for Sonny & Cher 
Posted by Kurt Ernst - The Sonny Bono (L) and Cher Mustangs. Photos courtesy Barrett-Jackson. Following the remarkable success of their debut album, Sonny & Cher were bona fide stars by late 1965. Looking to capitalize on their connection with youthful consumers, Ford pulled a pair of 1966 Mustang convertibles from the San Jose assembly line and shipped them to George Barris for conversion into the "Sonny Bono Mustang" and the "Cher Mustang."

Photos courtesy Mecum Auctions. Once upon a time, buyers attended automotive auctions to shop for (or gawk at) the rare, the expensive and the otherwise unattainable.

The ZeitHaus stands out as the most visited automotive museum in the world, but the Stiftung is the one that truly piques the interest of enthusiasts. That's because the Stiftung museum is a treasure trove of one-off models, concept cars, and prototypes that were never meant to see the light that awaits at the end of a production line. Volkswagen's collection includes over 250 cars, though only about 150 of them...Read More | Jacksonville, Florida, 1961 Posted by Daniel Strohl - Date: circa 1961 Location: Jacksonville, Florida Source: EagleFoodCenters14 on Flickr What do you see here?...Read More |  | THIS DAY IN AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY | 10/12/1950: | 500,000th Kaiser-Frazer built | | 10/12/1950: | Society of Motion Picture Art Directors hails 1951 Packard as "the most beautiful car of the year" |
