The British two-seater AC Cobra Roadster, originally powered by a BMW engine older than your grandpa’s jokes, got a cheeky upgrade when Carroll Shelby decided it needed a heart transplant. He swapped in a Chrysler V8 and later a Ford 260 V8, turning it into a road warrior. Fast forward to today, and we’ve got a snazzy modern replica featuring a carbon fiber skin. It’s as if the AC Cobra went on a futuristic diet, shedding pounds and adding flair, ready to race into the 21st century with style!
In 1941, America was buzzing with prosperity, and Chevrolet decided to ride that wave by jazzing up their cars. The new Chevy coupe, redesigned for the third year in a row, ditched its pickup vibes for a sleek Buick-esque look, all while keeping your wallet reasonably happy. With a starting price of $712, you could cruise around in style, thanks to the spacious interior and the mighty “Victory Six” engine. Over 100,000 of these beauties hit the road, proving that even back then, everyone loved a good bargain on wheels!
