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.
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.
Dodge Challenger Then and Now
As a well-respected car that has lasted through generations, the Dodge Challenger has endured its fair share of changes over the years. So how is it different now? Let’s take a look.
The first model, the 1970 Dodge Challenger, came with a whopping eight body styles, including convertible and hardtop versions, both with two doors. A variety of engine options was available for those who craved a little extra speed with this muscle car. Additionally, a dual exhaust could be had on some models. Four different hood styles were offered, though the standard 
style was almost flat, except for the small peak that ran down the center of the hood. For a flashier model, metallic paint colors were available alongside their flat color options. The 1970 Dodge Challenger (standard) featured a 225 cubic inch engine with a three-speed manual transmission.

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.
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.
New Orleans British Car Day
Though we like to focus on classic American cars for the most part, a lot of people are interested in cars from all around the world and as they say, different strokes for different folks.
With this in mind there are some collectors out there who are particularly interested in British cars and motorcycles. If you are one of them or simply someone who has an interest in all types of vehicles you may want to check out the 22nd annual New Orleans British Car Day event.
Remember Volkswagen The Thing?
Volkswagen The Thing: If you were around and aware of motor vehicles during the 1970s you may have found yourself perplexed when you saw a strange new animal on the roadways. Here was this vehicle that looked kind of like a small Jeep, with a convertible top and kind of a corrugated body.
You couldn’t help but notice its, well, let’s say “homeliness,” but the Pumpkin Orange or Sunshine Yellow color was certainly hard to miss.
This vehicle that we are referring to is the Volkswagen Thing, but it was only called the Thing in North America. The car was known as Trekker in the United Kingdom and Safari in Mexico, and its generic designation was Volkswagen 181.
Top Five Reasons to Buy a Classic Car
Turn Heads
It is quite a kick to drive down the street and see everyone getting whiplash as they notice you passing by in your classic car or truck. You see adults pointing your vehicle out to children and you come out of stores and restaurants to find people gathering around your vehicle with admiration.
Turn The Wrench
You might buy a classic car that is already in 
perfect condition and fully restored, but even if you do you may want to make modifications and perform maintenance tasks. On the other hand, you may be someone who likes to dig in deeper than that and do the restoration for yourself. Taking on this hobby can be a lot of fun and it can lead to the next reason to buy a classic car.
The R.E. Olds Museum
When you consider the history of automobile manufacturing in the United States there are a few names that sit up on a pedestal as true pioneers of the industry. Without question, one of these is Ransom E. Olds.
Olds was born in 1864 in Geneva, Ohio and it’s hard to tell how the early days of auto making would have unfolded if he didn’t decide to devote himself to the industry.
According to Olds himself he engineered his first car in 1894, a steam engine model. He went on to found Olds Motor Works in 1897, and it was located in Lansing, Michigan which is where he passed away on August 26, 1950 at the ripe old age of 86.
