Dashing, sleek and powerful. 1957 should have been a great year for Chrysler products. They had iconic Hemi V8 engines, new torsion-bar front suspensions that were superior to GM and Ford, and the excellent Torqueflite automatic
1953 Ford Customline Victoria hardtop at a Leake auction in Dallas, Texas. Basically the same body from 1952-54, but this was the last year for the venerable flathead V8, replaced in ’54 with the modern
1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray off Hwy 290. This C3 (third generation) series ran from 1968–1982. These chrome bumpers indicate a pre-73 model, the best looking years in my opinion. The wire wheels are a bonus.
At the the Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, California, racetrack, I found this very successful 1959 Bocar XP-5. It weighs about 1,800 pounds, originally powered by a 283-FI Chevy V8 with around 365 horsepower, later
Nifty 1953 Buick coupe custom in the parking lot at a custom car show in Granbury, Texas, SW of Ft. Worth, Texas. It was an excellent show!
