Maybe if you buy it they’ll stop posting it.

I discovered this a few weeks ago.
These are expensive! Especially the 110 coupe, called “Rapid”.
If you were retired and were driving from the NE to your FL place, this was the thing to have; soft ride, sofa seats etc....Who wants to drive to 1100 miles in a Sentra? MPG be damned...these were luxo barges for the older set....you could ram a modern p/u in that Lincoln and come out better than the p/u.
It feels very strange looking at these images and being utterly unable to name anything without close examination. Especially when I can name just about anything made in my lifetime in a nanosecond from the bottom edge of a single side mirror (that’s hyperbole).
Oddly enough the Fiat 130 lost to a PSA car -> Peugeot 504 Coupe.
It needs to get that tumor looked at before it gets worse.
When I was a kid I read a collection of Isaac Asimov short stories. One of them was about a guy who rescued old robotic cars and kept them in running, retired condition on a farm.
Another fine vehicle from Chrysler of China (a Geely Subsidiary).
I think it has to do with the fact that the main rotor is unpowered and only provides lift while turning- this would require momentum- my dad was fixed wing he had a dislike of helicopters, claimed they flew by magic and the souls of dead pilots
More badges means more power. That’s why the 600 needed more badges than the Isetta.
So the BMW 700 could be seen as a rip-off of the earlier Orix models?
You’ve also got to factor in the cost of integrating a handbrake. With a disc setup you tend to get a seperate drum brake within the disc or a dedicated caliper, essentially adding a second more basic brake. With a drum you can just utilise the existing shoes, only costing the linkage.
There’s some further cost and complexity introduced by the parking brake system, too, though.
Not an expert on automotive manufacturing (I am a different sort of engineer) but I did work in a brake shop and pay attention to prices.
Loans - like the 2008-2010 bailout of Detroit (including the low-interest loans and help from the gov’t.) could fairly be described as a subsidy, and were put in as an alternative to a catastrophic collapse of that sector of the economy. It wouldn’t just have been automakers going under-it would have been a raft of…
So, kind of like the German equivalent to a Swedish A-Traktor but with less stability?
Ouch, that impact probably knocked his monocle out.
Because today is St.Patrick’s day?
