Can you imagine the problem closing that thing if you're sitting in the front seat?? They would have had to make them power assist ... TAZ

Ford's ill fated "Wrist Twist" steering design

Someone is going to have to explain this one to me. What is wrong with it?

Look at the engine callout numbers locations. They are not the same are they? The driver's side is too low.

When I say "Dodge Challenger" I am sure this is the image that comes to mind. But this was not the first Dodge with the moniker "Challenger."

On May 1, 1959 Dodge introduced a special summer promotional model of their Coronet called the "Silver Challenger." It only came in Silver with a Silver and Black interior. This was not a performance car but as a price leader. Had full wheel covers and WSW tires included. "3 on the tree" and a "six banger" were standard with only the 326 V8 as an optional engine. Powerflite auto trans was an option for $189. Notice the car has no outside rear view mirror. That was a $6.45 option which this car doesn't have.

A fully operational working prototype built on a Lincoln production chassis, the 1953 Ford X-100 dream car, designed by Joe Oros*, was originally badged as the Lincoln Continental 195X when it debuted in 1952. Advanced features included heated seats, integral hydraulic jacks, and experimental Firestone radial tires

*If the name Joe Oros rings a bell . . . as it should, he designed this car 11 years later:

Did you know . . .

The first American car to come standard with Front Disc Brakes (as we know them today) was the 1963 Studebaker Avanti. All other Studebaker cars had them as a $90 option in 1963. They were made by Bendix.

OK, I see the 350 badges now. Had to look hard to see that one.

Wasn't the 1948 Tucker the first american car with disc brakes?
