The Mercury Monterey
In the post-war years as the Baby Boomers were starting to walk and talk, the Ford Motor Company was working to fill the huge demands of growing families across the United States. The Mercury division of Ford rolled out the Monterey, a full- size car model. Though the name and concept of the vehicle began two years before its official debut as its own series, the Monterey was introduced in 1952. Both a convertible and a four-door sedan version were available in the first model year.
1967 AMC Marlin
Before the American Motor Corporation came to control this classic car’s destiny under the AMC name, that is, the Marlin was known as the Rambler Marlin. In order to make more consumers feel like they could ride in style, the company incorporated a “personal luxury” style, which not only gave potential buyers a sizable list of standard features, but also provided several additional features to better suit the needs and wants of a diverse culture. With the combination of the standard and optional equipment, buyers could customize the look and feel of their new car. The Marlin itself was officially introduced to the public in 1965. In the beginning, the car received mixed reviews and had a troubled lifespan. When the 1967 model year Marlin was introduced, it was larger than it was in previous years. 2,545 units were sold, and they were more expensive than the earlier models.

Ford Model A
Shortly before the onset of the Great Depression and in the Depression’s early years, Ford Motor Company was changing tactics. The Model T was introduced in 1908, and for years, the car was unchanged and available in only black. As competitors in the auto market arose, Ford was faced with reality: to stay relevant, it would need to produce vehicles that were both attractive in appearance and performance. After a brief shutdown following a decline in sales as car-buyers began searching for options and color choices, Ford debuted the Model A.
The Amphicar
A lot of people are looking for versatility when they are shopping for a motor vehicle, and this makes sense because they can serve multiple different purposes.
Along these lines some consumers have the need to haul things from time to time so they care interested in a truck, but at the same time they would prefer the comfort and ride that is afforded by a sedan. The automotive industry satisfied this niche by developing vehicles such as the Chevrolet El Camino and the Ford Ranchero. These vehicles had pickup beds but had the same body style as a car in the front.
Slow Hand, Fast Ride
Rock and roll music and cool cars have always gone hand-in-hand. This is not just a cliché; when you think about it, these two important aspects of Americana really were intertwined into our history.
Automotive manufacturing was stalled during the World War II years, and after the war was over and economic times were good the industry started to take off once again. The 1950s were extraordinary times, and this was an era that produced some of the most memorable classic cars.
It is also the decade during which rock and roll got its start. So when you picture young people going to the drive-in or the malt shop in their cars you can hear Chuck Berry or Elvis playing in your head.
Then came the 60s, and the music was ratcheted up to another level. One of the guitar legends that emerged during this decade was Eric Clapton. Many classic car fans grew up listening to Clapton both as a solo artist and with super groups such as Cream and The Yardbirds.
What you may not know is that Eric Clapton is an aficionado of classic Ferraris, and he recently added a very special one-off Ferrari to his collection: the Ferrari SPC-12 EPC, a car that cost an estimated $4.75 million.
Ferrari is known to be willing to make any modifications that customers are interested in as long as they are in a position to pay the price, and this one was tailor-made to Clapton’s specifications. In fact, it even has his initials woven into the car’s name as the “EPC” stands for Eric Patrick Clapton.
This car is truly one-of-a-kind, at its core a regular Ferrari 458 Italia with stylistic changes to give it more of a classic look.
Eric Clapton is larger-than-life as a rock star, and with the Ferrari SPC-12 EPC he certainly has a car to match his legendary stature.

Loss Of A Legend
The automotive world is mourning the loss of a great innovator today, after news of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche’s death broke yesterday. He was 76. Best known for designing the Porsche 911, he will be a celebrated auto designer for generations to come. His road to automotive fame began when he was born in December 1935, the son of Ferry Porsche, the luxury car company’s founder. His grandfather was even responsible for the first Volkswagen Beetle.
As a youth, he pursued an education in design, but was “kicked out,” he later said, from the prestigious school. In 1957, he began working at Porsche, and the Porsche 911 was born when he was a mere 25 years old.
