Chevrolet Chevy II-1964 images

by Ross Mills

In 1964, the Chevy II hit the showrooms with the kind of determination only a compact car can muster when it dreams big. Competing with the likes of the Falcon and the Valiant, it was the budget-friendly dream for anyone with a taste for practicality. But alas, along came the Chevelle, the new kid on the block, and stole the show like a flashy new toy on Christmas morning. With larger engines and more gears than you can shake a stick at, the Chevy II was a classic tale of the little engine that could—just maybe not as fast as its rivals. Thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for preserving this slice of automotive history, one image at a time!

Step back into the late 60s when the Pontiac Firebird 1967 was the epitome of cool—think James Dean with a V8 engine. Built on the GM F-body platform, this pony car was all about style and power. The ’67 model flaunts slit tail lights reminiscent of its cousin, the GTO, and offers a choice between a convertible or hard-top. Whether you opt for the base model’s OHC inline 6 or go full throttle with the 400 CID V8, one thing’s for sure, this car screams “I’m faster than your dad’s station wagon!”

Buick Riviera 1963 images

by Ross Mills

The Buick Riviera 1963, a personal luxury car that cruised the roads from 1963 to 1999, is a classic beauty with over 1.1 million units produced. Riding on a typical Buick cruciform frame, it’s shorter and lighter than its sibling, the LeSabre, making it the sports car of the family reunion. Powered by a choice of the 401 or 427 cu in engines, it’s a beast in disguise—kind of like a gym buff who also bakes cookies.

Trivia #06 Horace and John Dodge

by Ross Mills

In the quirky world of automotive history, Sylvester Roper was steaming ahead with vehicles in 1859. Fast forward to 1900, and the Dodge brothers were revving up Detroit with their quality car parts. Meanwhile, Rudolf Diesel was busy creating engines that could ignite without a spark—now that’s a hot idea! By 1921, the roads were jam-packed, prompting the government to get its highway groove on. And in 2014, Panasonic and Tesla teamed up to build a battery gigafactory, electrifying the future of cars!

Chevrolet Impala 1961-1964 Third generation

by Ross Mills

The 3rd generation Chevrolet Impala (1961-1964) is like a fine wine—it only gets better with age! Launched with a sleek, new body on the GM “B” platform, it introduced a two-door sedan in ’61 that’s now a collector’s dream. The ’62 model year boasted a snazzy “C” pillar and a new 409 V8 engine, which even got the Beach Boys singing. By ’64, the Impala was smoother with muscle car fans rejoicing the return of the 409 engine, this time with two four-barrel carburetors for a whopping 425 hp.

How I Ruined All My Cars

by Kiril

I’ve managed to ruin quite a few cars, each in its own unique, disastrous way. From overzealous engine mods that left me stranded, to paint jobs that looked more like abstract art gone wrong, my automotive adventures have been a series of unfortunate events. Take my Dodge, which went from roaring beast to a sputtering mess after a DIY turbo install. Or the time I tried to give my old Civic a lowrider look, only to end up with a suspension that had more bounce than a trampoline. Ah, the memories!

Air Bags

Air Bags

by Ross Mills

In 1953, a retired industrial engineer named John Hendrick had a lightbulb moment and patented the first car airbag. Fast forward a couple of decades, and GM offered them in some models, but let’s just say they were like a soufflé—prone to deflation. It wasn’t until 1981 that Mercedes-Benz introduced an airbag that actually worked without a hitch. By 1998, dual front seat airbags became mandatory in the U.S., ensuring that our cars were prepared for anything—except maybe driving through a marshmallow factory!

Chevrolet Bel Air 1958 images

by Ross Mills

The 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air has had a complete makeover, now sleeker, heftier, and longer—just like my uncle after Thanksgiving dinner. Sporting seven body styles, it’s the first time Chevy introduces the Impala name, but only as a coupe or convertible. For those who love power, a big block engine is on the menu, offering 348 cubic inches of pure muscle. This “baby Cadillac” can be decked out with every imaginable option, making it the automotive equivalent of a luxury buffet.
