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.

Ford Falcon Squire, 1962. The first generation Falcon was introduced in 1960 as was the first compact model offered by the big three automakers (Chrysler/Ford/GM).

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.

Concept Cars; How Car Manufacturers Flex Their Imaginations

Since at least the 1930s, concept cars of some form have existed. Most are promptly forgotten as soon as a new group appears, but many are remembered by the public for years. Car concepts could almost entirely remain behind closed doors, or they could be used to promote the brand at a global auto show, or it could be something else entirely.

Concept Cars, The 1940 Aston Martin Atom

Originally equipped with a 2.0-liter overhead-cam engine, the Atom was a compact and strikingly designed sedan. However, in 1944, it was replaced by a pushrod engine with a slightly bigger capacity. It must have impressed David Brown (1904-1993), who drove it just before he decided to purchase the business, but a production version was never made.

Concept Cars, The 1955 Chrysler Falcon

The Falcon, a fast two-seat roadster with a 4.5-liter Chrysler Hemi V8 engine, was principally designed by Virgil Exner (1909–1973) and constructed by Ghia. It may have been a rival for both the first-generation Ford Thunderbird and the original Chevrolet Corvette, but Chrysler chose not to proceed with its release. It was unveiled two years after the first Chevrolet Corvette.

The 1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo

When Marcello Gandini created the scissor doors and low wedge shape for the mid-engined Carabo, he must have been staring straight ahead into the future. The world may not have been prepared for anything like this in the 1960s, but Alfa Romeo prevented it from progressing past the concept stage. The Carabo, however, is very similar to another vehicle that Gandini created. In contrast to the previous concept, the Lamborghini Countach went on sale in 1974.

The 1970 Mazda RX-500

The RX-500 initially appeared to have been created for similar purposes as the Alfa Romeo Carabo. It had a mid-mounted engine (in this instance a twin-rotor), butterfly swing doors, gullwing engine covers, and a wedge shape—albeit not nearly as severe as the Carabo's. All of this shouted "supercar!" but the RX-500 was actually designed to highlight Mazda's safety studies. It included a row of lights at the back, among other things, to let oncoming vehicles know if the vehicle was closing down, accelerating, or maintaining speed.

Concept Cars, Nissan 126X

The 126X, another wedge-shaped idea from 1970 (a lot of that kind of stuff was going on at the time), shared the Mazda RX-500's changeable rear lights. It had a slightly less supercar-like form than the Alfa Carabo or Mazda, but it was still somewhat strange. Nissan outperformed the other manufacturers in one area: the roof, windshield, and front body panels were all part of a canopy that opened from the front to provide access to the cabin.

Concept Cars, The 1976 Alfa Romeo New York Taxi

Despite being only four meters (157 inches) long, Italdesign's solution to a challenge set by the New York Museum of Modern Art was able to accommodate five people and had room underneath the seats for folding wheelchairs. Sliding doors on both sides added to the practicality, which was rather unique for 1976. You don't now link Alfa Romeo with New York taxis because the project was abandoned after the car was constructed. Shame, because it's a fascinating idea.

Concept Cars, 1978, Lancia Sibilo

The Megagamma and the Sibilio are only related since they both wore Lancia badges and attended the 1978 Turin Motor Show. They were as dissimilar from one another as chalk and China, otherwise. In essence, the Bertone-designed Sibilo was an even longer and more bizarre-looking Stratos. A 2.4-liter Ferrari V6 engine powered both the idea and the final vehicle.

The 1986 Audi Sport Quattr RS 002

The RS 002 was never meant to be merely a theoretical idea. This mid-engined coupe was one of several vehicles constructed for the Group S international motorsport regulations, which were set to replace Group B in 1987. It used the same mechanics as the Quattro rally cars. Group S was dropped in favor of the more production-based Group A after a string of catastrophic crashes. Before the car participated in a single race, the project was canceled because the RS 002 could not have been produced in sufficient quantities to qualify.

The 1992 Renault Reinastella

The Reinastella, a purely fictional vehicle that was reportedly part of the company's lineup in the 2328 model year, was on display at Disneyland Paris. It was named after a real Renault that was temporarily manufactured about 1930. Since it's hard to choose the right tense in this situation, we'll assume we're talking from the middle of the 24th century and say that the Reinastella could fly up to 186 mph and fly 15 cm (6 in) over the road in town and 150 meters (492 ft) above it in the country. A prototype appears to have absorbed the remains of its two occupants when it crashed during desert testing. Renault employed a redesigned construction that was incompatible with animals for production models.

Concept Cars, 1999, Bugatti 18/3 Chiron

The 18/3 Chiron was first produced when Volkswagen first acquired Bugatti. A 6.3-liter, 555-bhp engine with 18 cylinders grouped in three banks—thus the 18/3 part of the car's name—powered the three designs that were created around the same time. The remainder alludes to Louis Chiron (1899–1979), a Monegasque driver who competed in a number of vehicle brands but is arguably best known for his exploits in Bugattis. Bugatti's hypercar, which debuted in 2016, was given the Chiron name.

Concept Cars, 2006 Saab Aero X

Saab claims that the company's background in aircraft design served as some inspiration for the Aero X. This was partially demonstrated by the need to raise the cockpit canopy in order to allow passengers to enter and exit, which may be troublesome if you were unlucky enough to land rubber side up. It was claimed that a bioethanol-fueled twin-turbo engine could generate 400 horsepower, and the style elements suggested a future design language. Unfortunately, this was not very successful, and Saab was discontinued less than ten years after the Aero X was introduced.

2010 Citroen Metropolis

The Metropolis, an extremely large sedan that was especially popular in China, was as wide as a Maybach and longer as an Audi A8L. Power was provided by a 2.0-liter V6 engine and an electric motor as part of a gasoline-electric hybrid drivetrain. According to reports, this has the same amount of muscle as a 4.0-liter V8 that isn't hybrid, but it emits a fifth as much CO2. In 2020, the comparable DS 9 made its debut in China, while the Metropolis was never launched on the market.

2012, Chevrolet Code 130R

A tiny, rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet with a 1.4-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that could generate about 150 horsepower was proposed as the Code 130R. There was a lot of support for a production version, and it was well received. One of the main reasons this never happened was because GM would have needed to create a new platform on which to build it. Read the full article

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…
