Description

When it comes to cars, it’s easy to blur the 1950s and ’60s together, despite the fact that there was significant change in a few short years.
When it comes to Chevrolet at least, there’s a very clear division between the two decades.

There are people who dream about racing and then there are people who actually race.

Description

Being late to the “Ponycar wars” wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. It actually allowed Dodge to create a proper response.
With the Challenger’s arrival in the fall of 1969, Chrysler had finally leveled the playing field with its General Motors and Ford rivals, in the showroom, on the street and on the track.

Description

Racing is about winning, of course, but it’s also about image. Looking cool and hip is how you get fans. Lots of fans.

The story behind the transporter’s creation is a blending of pride, passion and practicality.

Description

The creation of the futuristic-looking Avanti set the world on its collective ear and put the ailing Studebaker Corporation back on the path to financial health. Not really, but at least that was company president Sherwood Egbert’s fondest dream.
However, as with numerous good intentions, poor planning combined with quality problems meant failure for Studebaker, consigning it to history’s automotive scrap heap.

Description

Buick is a conservative brand, right?
That wasn’t always the case. The company had a lot to gain, but also plenty to lose when it revealed a trio of new products — LeSabre, Invicta and Electra — for 1959.

Description

Do you recall a time not too long ago where everyone was driving a sport utility vehicle?
In the 1990s, you couldn’t throw a frisbee in suburbia without hitting a Ford Explorer, Chevy Blazer or a Jeep Cherokee. The Willys-Overland Motor Company can take credit for some of that.
