English Invasion
As one of the most prestigious car companies in classic car history, Jaguar rolled out a car in the 1960s that certainly stood out among its competitors. One particular model was given the honor of topping the list of Sports Car International Magazine’s “Top Sports Cars of the 1960s” in 2004, and was later also named one of the “100 Most Beautiful Cars” by the Daily Telegraph in 2008.
1967 Chevelle
As one of the most popular classic cars, the 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle is highly sought-after among car enthusiasts. Both the coupe and convertible versions are popular. The 1967 model had a slightly more aggressive look than the previous year’s model because of a reworked bumper. in this post, we’ll take a look at the classic Chevrolet.
The Chevy Corvair
When you are a kid in grade school people will make fun of you if you copy what someone else is doing with the schoolyard chant of “monkey see, monkey do.”
However, when it comes to automobile manufacturing mimicking the success of others is simply good business.
When you look at the history of the industry you find that many vehicles that we have come to know and love were “inspired” shall we say by a model produced by another company that had great success.
Code Name “Panther”
The Ford Mustang had an extraordinary impact on the automotive industry after its release in April of 1964.
As you might expect, the other major automobile manufacturers immediately got to work on their versions of a pony car so that they could garner their share of this burgeoning new market.
In 1965 rumors began to circulate about the Chevrolet division of General Motors developing a competitor under the code name “Panther.”
During the summer of 1966 the company held a press conference and they invited members of the automotive journalism community. At this conference they announced that everyone in attendance was automatically a member of the “Society for the Elimination of Panthers from the Automotive World.”
Studebaker: Some History
When you examine the history of automobile manufacturing in the United States it is very interesting to consider the impact that the motor vehicle had on society.
Imagine a time when there were no automobiles. It can seem like those were the caveman days, but it is all relative. Cars did not start to appear until the end of the 19th century which in a way wasn’t all that long ago.
You might think that this innovation would put a lot of people out of business as motorized vehicles replaced horse-drawn carriages.
The Henry Ford Museum
People who are into classic cars understand the importance of the greater Detroit area, and of course the impact that Henry Ford had on the industry cannot be overstated.
With the above in mind, every true automotive enthusiast must visit the Henry Ford Museum at least once in his or her lifetime. And if you have a family, you really owe your children the opportunity to take in all of the history that is housed within this incredible facility.
Imperial–Chrysler’s Luxury Brand
For the most part, over the last few decades the classic “big boat” has kind of disappeared from the roadways.
But there was once a time when people would tool around the city and down the highways and byways in big, powerful, comfortable cars that admittedly didn’t go very far on a gallon of gas.
And, it was not uncommon for somebody in the neighborhood to pull down the armrest, lean to the right, and drive the boat with the left hand alone.
One car that would fit the description of the big boat of the classic era was the Imperial, a Chrysler brand.
Good News Out Of Detroit
When you evaluate the classic cars that we have come to know and love over the years it is impossible to imagine our country without American cars being produced. This is the prospect that we were faced with about three years ago when the automotive industry was in dire straits.
There was a lot of controversy about bailouts and we are not here to make any statements pro or con. But what we will say is that there was some fantastic news being reported across the Internet today regarding the state of American automotive manufacturing.
