1955 Chrysler Falcon Concept
In 1951, Chrysler made a strategic decision to hire Virgil Exner, which ultimately saved the company from financial ruin in the mid-1950s. Exner's innovative designs, known as the 'Forward Look,' not only revolutionized Chrysler's product line but also influenced the entire American automotive industry's shift towards modernity. While General Motors (GM) was successful during this period, Harley Earl, GM's design chief, acknowledged the need to catch up with Chrysler's designs. Ford, on the other hand, made costly mistakes, such as introducing the Edsel and discontinuing the two-seater Thunderbird, which resulted in the company playing catch-up. The other automakers, including Hudson, Nash, Studebaker, and Packard, failed to impress consumers with their designs, leading to their eventual downfall. The only exception was the Avanti, which was a well-designed car but ultimately failed in the market. In conclusion, Chrysler's strategic hiring of Virgil Exner and his innovative designs played a significant role in the company's success during the mid-1950s, while other automakers struggled to keep up with the changing times.

5 Of The Best Australian Muscle Cars Ever Built
While American muscle cars usually command the spotlight in terms of V8 vehicles, Australia also has its fair share of classics. We will delve into five of these classic vehicles which have stood the test of time. All of these vehicles are being shortlisted from a balance of collectability, performance, and general reputation.
1. Holden Monaro
The Holden Monaro is a legendary nameplate in the world of Australian muscle cars. Originally introduced in 1968, the Monaro quickly gained a reputation for its sleek design and formidable performance on the road and the racetrack. With powerful V8 engines under the hood and a timeless coupe silhouette, the Monaro captured the hearts of car enthusiasts across generations. Its iconic status was cemented with the release of modern iterations, including the Monaro VZ and the limited-edition Monaro CV8-Z.
2. Ford Falcon GT
The Ford Falcon GT is possibly the first Australian muscle car, depending on who you ask. The initial XR GT performance version housed a 4.7-liter, 289 ci V8 engine, with 68 and 71 eras having a 5.8-liter, 351 Cleveland V8 producing 300-350hp. The first Aussie-made version was the 1972 XA Falcon which came as a two-door coupe, with a top speed of 142 mph and a 0-60 time of 6.4 seconds. Over the years, the Falcon GT has evolved to become a symbol of Australian performance engineering, with each new generation pushing the boundaries of power and innovation. Models like the Falcon GT-HO Phase III have achieved legendary status among collectors and enthusiasts, Adding to the Falcon GT’s status.
3. Chrysler Valiant Charger
The Chrysler Valiant Charger was based on the Dodge Dart and Plymouth Valiant, but entirely Australian-made. With its long hood, short deck, and aggressive styling cues, the Valiant Charger stood out from the crowd and became a symbol of rebellion and freedom on the open road. Standout versions include the RT model with a 4.3-liter, 265 ci Hemi 6, producing 302 hp, with a 0 to 60 time of 6 seconds. For those wanting more luxury, the Charger 770 SE came with a 5.6-liter, 340-ci V8 and 275hp, Today, well-preserved Charger models are highly sought after by collectors, with the early 70s models being the most desirable.
4. HSV GTSR W1
Developed by Holden Special Vehicles (HSV), the HSV GTSR W1 is a limited-edition super sedan that pays homage to the classic muscle cars of yesteryear while incorporating the latest in automotive technology. With a supercharged V8 engine producing over 600 horsepower, advanced aerodynamics, and track-tuned suspension, the GTSR W1 is capable of tearing up the track with ease. Its aggressive styling and menacing presence make it an instant classic, destined to be remembered as one of the greatest Australian muscle cars.
5. Holden Sandman
American Australia had similar problems in the early 1970s. Huge distances to cover, while needing a vehicle to haul a decent amount of daily items. America solved a problem with the Chevrolet El Camino and the Ford Ranchero, while Australia came up with the ‘Ute.’ A regular muscle car upfront with a van at the back. The top version of the Sandman came with a 5.0-liter 308 engine, with a top speed of 125 mph. Standout features include the radial tuned suspension – leaf springs in the rear, coil springs for the front wheels to address the radial tires.

The final iteration of the boxy late sixties Ford Falcon was the XY series (1971).  In Australia, the three major manufacturers, Ford, Chrysler and General Motors Holden all began the seventies with final versions of their late sixties designs.  It wasn’t until 1971 that the all-new HQ Holden, XA Falcon and VH Valiant ranges were unveiled and put on sale.

SpaceX Falcon Heavy GOES-U | Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
This seems like a long ways away the fifth is tomorrow here it goes around behind the Sun and she will disappear at 3:00 a.m. from you from Earth in many places around 6:00 a.m. from almost every ship and people fight the ones on the perimeter. And other stuff Saturn is not within view and other places the moons of Saturn and Mars there's nobody on Mars in our moon you can't see. Venus will reappear in about 3 weeks and he doesn't have it scheduled but she went through hell before it before today it's finally slowing down and we're watching like Hawks all of the ground-based lasers and space-based are being monitored and ships there's only a few big ones and they're being threatened all the time to get back..
It seems like a long delay from the 5th to the 25th of June. And it is. That's along the way they're going to be up there for quite some time. Right now the trumps are under siege they have lost probably 15 to 20% but it's surreptitiously bja is still training and moving people out he's getting quite a force together and it is a humongous number of troops right now he has asked more people to leave work he was at about 30% now he's at 35% and they're leaving and companies are left yeah in the midwest are still working 5% of leaving work and they leave all around it and we're going to crawl up to the Tennessee Northern line by tomorrow morning then there are a few businesses they're all going to fight over Chrysler is one of them and the Chevy plants and Ford plants Harley-Davidson plants and some equipment plants of caterpillar and case and John Deere and a few computer places and space stuff the big one is of course Chrysler that's the full company almost it's half of it there's a few other places there's a huge steel mill it is just North of Tennessee and there's a couple other meals that make different metals. It's going to be huge after this parallel of states which might take a week and a half it enters a heavy industrial area there are several minds in this phase and the minds are fought over very hard and they're very important chromium and copper aluminum even magnesium and silver there's a large gold mine not really large there's about three medium iron mines and that's what's out there and oil is a big one in Oklahoma that's huge and they're going to leave so they're trying to take what they can so we're pulling stuff out all the time. In addition to this there is a general evacuation and they go to different places and to the island and it's global and we think maybe 1% of their number off Island tonight it is because the attrition rate is now at 0.9% and climbing. It's going up through the stratosphere and bja is getting all the buses ready and Trump and there's a couple others minority more luck and minorities have buses and minorities are coming here and minority they don't get along with the other Bullock and pseudo empire usually gets her son stuff yeah it's hard to say because they're under so much duress but they're doing work and it indicates it probably. they wanted to have some of this product he's got a lot of weird stuff out there and it's kind of wanky but really a lot of it's nice and things are going like Willy Wonka it's a huge Willy Wonka fan it's just well over the top with him and her and they get a little sick from it too a little bit of vertigo but they see it and the people almost get nauseous watching it he did a little bit but he knows what it's about in the lions are just stupendous you cannot buy lines like that you can't take them out. Can't take them up.
-I'm excited about this motorcycle company what they want to do is start it up they want to go there they said Justin and our son had a hard time people are picking on him and they think that it's the Harley-Davidson guys and it's one of the things that spurned on the company and it was that house for the people left they said that's part of it and said this is one of their waves and she said where and said I don't really know and no and so things went on differently but I'll tell you what they want to go there and they know the max are there but not in big numbers it's a chance for them to get up there so our sunset for BG to get his ready people might think it's a good idea what happened to me Tommy McGee. And it's probably what happens to him in the ocean cuz he probably helps out it's very bad and I know how it is he says and that's our son and BG is tinkering with it and he doesn't have it running no he does he says if it's running you have to register right no? He goes oh not the Teeny one so he drove it around okay so people are looking at like it's chopper and I wonder if there's an appropriate place to go so he's doing it now but this is a hard time for a lot of people my son doesn't have an easy life either or daughter that this is going to be different it's going to change this project is a huge idea and Hera decided to do it and her husband asked her to she didn't want to because it's her sister is evil so that had some spice to it I think it's a good idea and he's got great ideas for it electric motors and dirt bikes China makes them and they might get fire still from there a lot of them and there's nothing wrong with that it'll be an American look and flavor and sound and BG is starting to piece one together we've got one coming together in Mexico and it might be the same company and they see people helping and it looks like foreigners and stuff and they are helping and it's going to go ahead it's a great idea we're moving out in the midwest there's tons of work there's some fire fights every once in a while we have a lot of work to do we need troops out right now
Thor Freya
It is a great idea it is just really Majesty it is greatness this is an awesome idea I'm so glad I'm doing this we have a factory picked out and people are starting to get there a little bit no it's kind of awesome we're kicking it around and trying to see if they want to do it out there and they might turn into the USA we don't know they might see the use of minority more lock and knowing stuff and being evil and they are kicking it around they do a lot of videos about Mexico and this movies and we do see it
Hera
We usually make stuff and people used to take it but now we're not let him and it's to our advantage
Bg
We have to get going on this somehow and what he says is whatever role he can fit into and there are plants down there and we know about it and we might do it this place is here we can do it it should be easier in a way but might be harder in the short run and make it impossible you're bringing them to Texas that looks like Chinese bikes I understand what I'm saying now

Car Spot: 1965 Plymouth Barracuda
It was the first pony car. The Plymouth Barracuda is this week's spot.
The first barrage in the pony car wars Ford and Plymouth were in a race to be the first to enter the pony car era and to get there they were using off-the-shelf stuff. Ford, the Falcon, and Plymouth the tried and true Valiant, Chrysler’s A-body, and while it shared a great majority of parts and bodywork the huge and distinctive wraparound rear glass made it stand out. It was the largest ever…

Junkyard Gem: 1977 Toyota Celica GT
Junkyard Gem: 1977 Toyota Celica GT
Toyota spent the second half of the 1960s watching Detroit print dollars by taking plain-looking compacts and turning them into fun, sporty machines with a minimum of investment. Ford made the Mustang from the Falcon, GM made the Camaro from the Chevy II, and Chrysler made the Barracuda from the Valiant. So, when developing the new Carina sedan for 1970, Toyota decided to print some yen with a…

Michael Savage New Canaan The Top Three Muscular Tissue Cars And Truck Movies Ever Before Made According to Me!
Cars as well as movies normally fit like Abbott and Costello, Rum and Coke, peanut butter as well as jelly! No! I'm not speaking about mosting likely to the drive-in and also fogging up the windows! I'm talking about Muscle Car Movies! Watershed films of steroid pumped, huge inch, bias-ply tire melting, road iron and those insane auto jockeys that drive them. Legendary legends of drama and pathos that tell the tales of these males and also devices get into (as well as out of) 90 mins (give or take) of high power, adrenaline pumping, activity journey. Having seen a number of these motion pictures a number of times each, by now, I have actually developed an entirely subjective checklist of the top 3 best. I poled no one.
Michael Savage New Canaan
  I didn't read any type of other checklists, I really did not ask "motion picture people" what they thought from a motion picture stand point, I easy detailed the car motion pictures that I have actually seen throughout, suched as and also though were incredible. I understand muscular tissue vehicles. I understand exactly how to watch a movie, I know what I such as well as what I don't, I think my point of view is constantly area on - what else do you require to make a listing? Ok, maybe a pencil as well as paper - however that's it! So without further ceremony, I give you the very best movies regarding muscular tissue autos as picked by one muscle vehicle delirious gearhead with a remote, a large television, a couch, some chips as well as a beverage ...
 Pick number three is "The Roadway Warrior" guided by George Miller. The hero automobile is a '73 Ford Falcon Coupe. I think it slips by the very first film in the collection, "Mad Max", as a better movie since the hero has much less to say as well as is truly over the top agro nuts! Mel has to paint his face blue and also shriek his throat raw prior to he matches this degree of hostility in character once more! In this sequel, the world has actually really mosted likely to the pet dogs and also there is way a lot more automobile activity things to confirm how off the graphes things have actually gotten. The majority of the discussion is Aussie so you actually don't understand much and that needs dialog in a vehicle movie anyway ... stupid.
Michael Savage New Canaan
 Number two is the '68 standard, "Bullit" routed by Peter Yates. Where to start? Ah yes, two words ... Steve McQueen. Enough stated ... well perhaps not. We additionally get a young Jacqueline Bisset (in her prime no much less, before she went diving with Nick Nolte - however I swerve). The conclusive flick car chase is in Bullit - period. Also if the Battery charger expands brand-new hubcaps (as old ones fly off) regularly than Jaws grows teeth or Steve-o up-shifting the Mustang so much that he need to have extra equipments than a rock quarry dump vehicle, and now you're simply being choosy, picky, particular! Enjoy the movie!
 For me, primary, the most effective of the best, is "Vanishing Factor", routed by Richard Sarafian (who I when dealt with as well as believed him to be a fantastic guy!). The hero vehicle is a '70 Opposition R/T. The tale fixate "Kowalski" that, for no great reason, needs to get from Denver to San Fran in less than 15 hours. My idea is he left a lot of his amphetamines in the night table back in his The golden state apartment or condo and his mommy was due over to clean the location. Here's some facts for you. The Dodge Opposition R/T had a 440 V-8 and also not a 426 Hemi (as is often touted). Eight of them were loaned by Chrysler and made use of during the filming.
 So there you have it! My top three picks for ideal muscle vehicle film. Do not state I didn't alert you. Now go obtain some chips and also dip of your very own and also see what I suggest. Go!!!
