Description

Most old-school car guys make no bones about bashing today’s four-cylinder models.

“It’s not like the days of the ‘Cuda, Mustang or Nova,” they’ll say.

Everyone loves Muscle Cars, however the first two of those came with six-cylinder base engines and the Nova came with, you guessed it…

It’s a common phrase that means something out of the ordinary and even something wonderful.

One word usually sums up the shape of Volvo cars of old: square. As in brick square, or Etch A Sketch square. With rare exception.

And for most North Americans and many non-Nordic Europeans, Volvo was synonymous with idiosyncratic car construction. Volvo’s feet were firmly planted on the sidelines of mainstream automobile culture and seemed destined to remain there.

Walter P. Chrysler found out the hard way in 1934 how badly controversy can bite you.

Description

A fiberglass-bodied hatchback with a rumbling V8, pop-up headlights and “gull-wing” doors sounds like a high-performance exotic that can’t miss.
However, the car in question is the Bricklin SV-1, a quirky, yet affordable-for-the-time Canadian-built coupe that lasted less than two years before disappearing under a deluge of debt and disappointment.

A three-wheeler? Morgan has always gone against the grain and done its own thing.
