Chevrolet Chevy II Origins to 1965 – the First Generation

by Ross Mills

The Chevy II, born to rival Ford’s Falcon, sprinted from design to dealership with the agility of a caffeinated squirrel. This compact car, showcasing semi-unibody flair, rolled out in various styles, from sedans to convertibles. Initially powered by engines as thrilling as a lukewarm latte, it eventually embraced V8 power, revving up to 300 hp by 1965. With six engine options, a facelift featuring a snazzy grille and dazzling tail lights, the Chevy II was a hit among families and speed enthusiasts alike.

by Ross Mills

Fast forward to 1895, and Henry Austin is vrooming around Britain in his gasoline chariot. By 1921, Ford is the king of the American car jungle, while GM plays catch-up. Meanwhile, in 2014, Toyota and Hyundai are busy brewing up hydrogen cars. Talk about an electrifying journey through automotive history!

Studebaker Scotsman 1958 images

by Ross Mills

In 1955, Studebaker found itself in a pickle, financially speaking. Rather than tango with the big three, they whipped up the Scotsman—a no-frills, chrome-less wonder aimed at budget-conscious drivers. While it wasn’t the fastest horse in the stable, with its modest six-cylinder engine, it did sip gas like a polite guest, delivering 30 mpg. By 1958, Studebaker had doubled their sales expectations, proving that sometimes less is more, especially when it comes to fins and headlights.
