With 820,000 units produced, it gave Chevy a run for its money, proving that good looks and practicality can indeed coexist. Ford’s clever move to relocate the front leaf spring added more legroom, perfect for stretching out after a long day of being number one. And while the Model T’s four-cylinder engine was sent to the history books, the Flathead V8 was ready to roar, making this car the ultimate vintage powerhouse with style.
