Ford Thunderbird 1962 Images

by Ross Mills

Rev up your engines and take a nostalgic cruise back to 1962, where the Ford Thunderbird ruled the roads with its roaring 390 engine, pushing a powerful 300 horses. This slick ride was not just JFK’s chariot to his inauguration but also the official pace car of the Indy race. With Kelsey-Hayes spoke wheels and a cool tonneau cover, it flaunted a retro roadster vibe. For those craving more vroom, the rare “M” code version upped the ante to a whopping 340 hp with triple carburetors. A classic that’s truly a rare bird!

The Ferrari Mondial T Cabriolet is not just a car; it’s a legendary nod to the 500 Mondial race car of the 1950s. Produced from 1980 to 1993, this beauty is as practical as it is quick—think of it as the Swiss Army knife of convertibles. With 6,100 units made, it’s the only rear mid-engine production car that’s a full convertible with room for four. Talk about a backseat driver! Special thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for the stunning images—because who doesn’t love some car eye candy?

Chevrolet El Camino third generation 1968 to 1972

by Ross Mills

The third-gen Chevrolet El Camino, 1968-1972, truly revved up the muscle car game with its Malibu-inspired style and Chevelle platform. In ’68, it flaunted options like posi-traction and a power disk brake for those who wanted to stop as impressively as they could go. The high-performance SS debuted, with engines roaring up to 375 bhp. By 1970, it could house a monstrous LS6 454 engine, racing through the quarter-mile in 13 seconds! Alas, emissions rules in ’71 took a bit of the vroom out of its zoom.

Pontiac Trans-Am & Banshee Roots

by Ross Mills

In the wild world of fuel crises and emissions regulations, Pontiac’s engineers turned the Trans-Am into a fuel-sipping, aerodynamic marvel. By 1982, the third-gen Trans-Am shed pounds like it was prepping for a high school reunion, boasting hidden headlights and a spoiler that whispered, “I’m sporty, yet eco-friendly.” Meanwhile, the Banshee concept, a car that could’ve starred in its own sci-fi flick, lent its futuristic flair to the Trans-Am saga, proving that sometimes, the future is just a concept car away.

by Ross Mills

In 1852, the Studebaker brothers, Henry and Clem, opened the doors—quite literally—to the “Studebaker Wagon Works” in Indiana. Little did they know, their humble wagon venture would roll its way to global fame. Meanwhile, over in the land of bicycles, the Duryea brothers were busy swapping pedals for engines, becoming the first to sell cars in the USA. Fast forward to 1939, and General Motors shifted gears by introducing the fully automatic transmission, ensuring drivers everywhere could finally sip coffee while cruising.
