Our good friend Colin Miller, to whom Autocade Year of Cars 2025 is dedicated, has passed away, aged 88. Colin was a motorhead, like most of us connected to Autocade. I still remember having a conversation with him about a Mercury Marquis I spotted. I said it was a beautiful hardtop sedan, and I was… Read More »Farewell to Colin Miller, 1937–2025
Surprisingly, we have cracked 42 million page views in two months, and that’s with “AI” bot blocks. We’re also blocking bot activity from Semrush (there is a lot of attempted entry), and letting through Ahrefs in a controlled way (a page a day, I believe). I’ve detailed the maths elsewhere: the original site netted at… Read More »Autocade reaches 42 million page views
All 13 generations of the Ford Thunderbird are on Autocade now. I believe the first entry of the 13 that we put in was the boxy, Fox-platform 1980 generation, completed on August 17, 2009.

In the great tradition of automotive annuals, Autocade is… Read More »Year of Cars 2025, as endorsed by Giles Chapman
Thanks to the positive press coverage in Octane (see their March 2025 number here), for which we are extremely grateful, the main Autocade site has reached its latest million-page milestone in two months, two days. Now over 41 million page views have been served, and that’s after blocking the “AI” bots that inflated our count… Read More »Autocade reaches 41 million page views
