65' Chevy Biscayne


1965 Chevrolet Biscayne

Maserati Ghibli


Now that Maserati is owned by Fiat / Chrysler they are looking to sale, sale, sale. They want to move about 50,000 units per year, they started with the Quattroporte redesign, then the Ghibli, now the Alfieri. They even have an SUV in mind, but maybe they need to take a step back and establish a true identity before their ambitions get the best of them. Their powertrain sucks, their infotainment is average and bright red leather seats in the Ghibli? Seriously! .........Remember the Biturbo?

Tho Topolino had been engineered for superior performance and the Millecento out performed most sports cars with better handling by 1937.

1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner


The standard 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner had a 292cid V8 engine but the Skyliner had the option of a 352cid V8 same as the Thunderbird. It was a convertible with a switch that literally put the roof in the trunk in less than a minute. Power windows, seats, and air conditioning was an option but the Skyliner died after only 3 short years.

1972 Dodge Challenger




Custom Made 72' Challenger

Porsche 944


In 1981 the Porsche 944 was considered o be very quick even though it was a four cylinder. The 2.5 liter had a lot of power pushing the 944 to 62 mph in about 8 seconds. They kept the interior pretty much the same as the 924 with that checkered board upholstery, but they should have made more room for your thighs from the seat to the bottom of the steering wheel.

1967 Chevy Impala


Custom Made 67' Impala

2005 Acura NSX


The Acura just might be a classic. It was one of the first exotic supercars that you could comfortably drive everyday, even Ferrari took a lot from the NSX. The mid-engined supercar will go 0-60 in about 5 seconds, it's a 3.2 liter V6 with the power of 290 horses at 7,100 rpm. It sits low, it makes you feel like your going faster than you really are. The NSX's with the pop up head lights are really cool, hope you still have all those old cassette tapes!

1967 Dodge Charger



67' Custom Made Dodge Charger

1950 DeSoto Custom


The 1950 DeSoto had two styles, The Custom and the De Luxe. The Custom had more to offer, things like; turn signals, backing up lights, two toned paint jobs, electric clock, heat, and convertibles had wheel covers and white wall tires. The engines were the same straight six with only 112 bhp. In the 50's the DeSoto's had an incredible large grille that was hard to miss. Not much power, speed and overall performance, but this is really an underrated glamorous car.

2010 Ford Mustang


Souped Up Ride!

1959 Pontiac Bonneville


The 1959 Pontiac Bonneville had a 389 cid V8 engine and had the power of 345 horses. Top speed was around 125 & the Bonneville screamed individuality with 4 fins on the rear, bold stripes for the interior seats, chrome on the dash, a split grille and it was so wide it couldn't even fit in most car washes. How's that for originality!

67' Shelby


1967 Shelby Cobra 427

1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo


The 1970 sporty Chevrolet Monte Carlo gave you the choice of either the 350 cid V8 engine or the SS 454. The SS allowed the coupe to go 0-60 in about 8 seconds. This was a high performance vehicle that was aerodynamic and had great power to weight distribution. The max speed was around 132 and the power output ranged from 250-360 bhp. The headlights worked well with the simple grille and the interior was very luxurious.

Cool


Love this pic, the American flag is a nice touch.

1956 Lincoln Continental Mark 2


The 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark 2 has a 368 cid V8 engine that was modified to achieve more balance and a smoother ride. Air conditioning came at an extra cost but the interior was simple yet elegant with a nice mix of leather and costly fabrics. On the exterior you will find the historic continental tag, the front windshield was tinted and the grill stretched from headlight to headlight. Too bad it only came in a two-door.
