Lada Niva All new for 1977 2015!

They must’ve look so temporary, so ordinary in the traffic of that time. No one would’ve bat my an eye lid today though, if such a car goes past you with a well dressed man, it just screams class and what not. If automakers could do what the fashion industry did, they would’ve brought those designs of yore so much…

This is what a pedal is supposed to look like, yes: hinged at the bottom, dagnabbit!

This steering wheel kinda looks like Wallace.

Stripped head on the screw to save weight, too? Those Italians think of everything!

AR... BAAA!!!! (Even the VIN mimics the noise it makes when you downshift).

The world needs more floor-mounted pedal boxes

I've never driven a gated manual. You just tell by feel and muscle memory. It's really not difficult and there's just about zero learning curve.

That Chapron convertible...sweet barking cheese.

“This Citroen suspesnsion is SOOOOOO good.... mmm...”

It’s also a rare “production” car that has a heave spring.

I’ll go with the Honda S500/600 independent rear suspension.

the Packard “Torsion Level” suspension. Torsion bars with all four wheels interlinked.

Mercedes active curve tilt in the S-class coupe

Tatra... it’s more of a driveline/suspension combo. Basically the same formula for years with some changes to what’s used as a spring.

Take your pick, the answer will always be a Citroen, no one else has ever tried it differently.

Hydrolastic.
