Chevy Camaro 2011 to 2013

by Ross Mills

The Chevy Camaro from 2011 to 2013 is a muscle car that roars with power and style, yet whispers “maybe skip the grocery run.” With six-cylinder models offering solid performance and V8s ranging from fast to “hold onto your hats,” it’s all about the thrill. Safety features are top-notch, but visibility? Let’s just say it’s best suited for those who enjoy surprises. The ZL1’s 580 hp engine launches you from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, perfect for those days when you need to outrun your responsibilities.

Cord – an automobile ahead of it’s time

by Ross Mills

The Cord automobile, a masterpiece of innovation from the Auburn Motor Company, dazzled with its futuristic designs and groundbreaking features like front-wheel drive and hidden headlights. Despite its sleek “Coffin nose” and advanced engineering, the Cord struggled with reliability issues and economic downturns. It couldn’t outrun the Great Depression, leading to its discontinuation. E.L. Cord’s ambitious plans sputtered, much like the cars’ carburetors, as his empire ultimately shifted to Nevada real estate.

Hey You! Got A Woodie? Car that is…

by Pat C

Got your attention? Let’s cruise down memory lane with the Woodie, the vintage station wagon that turned heads with its hardwood passenger compartments. Likely a Ford creation, these beauties were the SUVs of their time, merging style with utility. As metal took over for safety and durability, Woodies became a classic symbol of a bygone era. Still, there’s something about a Woodie that makes you want to grab a surfboard and hit the beach, humming along to “Two girls for every boy.”

by Ross Mills

In the groovy ’70s, the Ford Fairlane Ranchero got a facelift, embracing a curvy Coke bottle shape and a fancier Ranchero Squire edition, complete with wood-grain vinyl—because why not? The mighty 428 Cobra Jet engine shook things up, literally, with its shaker hood scoop. As emissions laws put horsepower on a diet, the Ranchero soldiered on, adapting to the Thunderbird platform by ’77. This quirky classic cruised into the sunset in ’79, but not before a cheeky 1979½ model made a cameo.

Ford Thunderbird 1957 images

by Ross Mills

Meet the Ford Thunderbird 1957, Ford’s stylish retort to Chevy’s Corvette, but with more luxury and less vroom-vroom. In its third year, the ’57 T-bird got a spiffy makeover and packed a 312 cu in engine that could deliver a cool 245 hp. For those who thought that was a snooze, you could soup it up to 300 hp with a Paxton supercharger, making it the perfect car for a leisurely drive that says, “I could go fast… if I wanted to.” Thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for the drool-worthy pics!
