Ford built a handful of Glaxies with the 427 SOHC. they were labeled as prototype cars, but they were built and delivered to customers (one went to astronaut Gordon Cooper).
Any car running the magical 200mpg carburetor!
Early 60's Imperials. So good with abuse (both as abuser and abusee) that, as well know, they were banned from demolition derbies.
Agreed. Collectible? Probably. Valuable? Probably not. Great car, but with total production numbers approaching 1 million there isn't going to be a shortage anytime soon. Even low mileage first year ones are easy to come by.
This one just sold for about $16K.
S54 Coupes in particular
That's a great point. There is some fine automotive art out there.
Before you drop a dime on a classic car you've always wanted, get your garage in line first. Make it a place you WANT to spend time in, even if it's not related to fixing your vehicle. Sure I've seen brilliant restorations come from the most humble garage, but those were still places that people enjoyed working in. …
Oh, brilliant pick!
Pick any from the USSR.
As I live in Springfield, MA I feel Duryea must be mentioned. A long-gone marque, but they are the FIRST manufacturer to win a car race in the US. That's got to be worth something. It was the 1895 Chicago Times-Herald race, over a 54 mile course.
Maintenance will be brutal, if you go to the dealer. Everyone knocks BMWs for being expensive to keep, but my M Coupe (just an S52) has been one of the more reliable cars I've owned. Cost per mile has been about 1/4 of what the cost per mile has been with my Subaru Legacy GT. I keep records for both and I do a lot…
If Canada wanted to go that route they'd just pick up all those "obsolete" A-10's the Pentagon no longer wants.
Everybody loves a cane.
not technically a "stunt" but landing on a blimp was nuts.
Yeah, I know that. Right now Google just tracks your cell phone, tracks your browsing habits, and reads your email (if you use Gmail) and then sells the info to anyone who wants it. I'm concerned what "next level" Google might take new access to.
Think Google spies on your activities now? Just wait until they are carting you about your daily rounds! I just pitcure this thing with 1,000,000 tiny cameras decorating the inside like the headliner of a Rolls Royce.
Drawing outside the lines, my apology, but I Harley owners (almost said riders or bikers) are more annoying than most car owners I know.
What's French for "measure twice, cut once"?
