Automotive enthusiasts?

You may also notice on those tin pot cars like the original Fiat 500, Citroen 2CV and some Minis, they have canvas roof. This is to save material because steel was quite expensive in the old days.

British Ford (Cortina) and American Ford (Galaxie)

Hey Mazda RX8 is a good second hand option too. The insurance is surprisingly low compared to other sports cars (at least in terms of insurance group.). And you get a 9000rpm Wankel rotary engine. And it has 4 doors.

I think the American Ford might’ve been a car used in the old NASCAR in its Strictly Stock days.

@14Fan
I don’t know if they had Galaxie in NASCAR. But this one was for the British Saloon Car Championship.

@RD4590
Ah, I don’t know THAT much about the sport.
What’s better?

@RD4590
I am always suprised how they managed to keep the exact same body in racecars as they do normal consumer cars back in the day.

I’ve never seen a wagon like this before!

That’s an interesting one

@kleptomage
modern cars are very low and have very delicate and lightweight bumpers. I’ve seen many cars with knocked out lower bumpers due to snow and ice boulders…

@Background Pony #47C2
this article is awesome. I firmly believe Saab, Pontiac, Saturn, Oldsmobile would’ve been able to modernize their designs just with using a split grille design like that Saab rendering.

@RainbowDash69
typical GM rebadging technique

HOLY SHIT DODGE DID IT AGAIN! #7 OF THEIR LAST CALL SERIES IS A DEMON 170 THAT BROKE MULTIPLE RECORDS JUST TONIGHT!

0-60 AT 1.6G SECONDS, AND A QUARTER MILE AT 8.9 SECONDS AT 151MPH! THE WORLDS FIRST 8 SECOND PRODUCTION MUSCLE CAR, PUSHING AT 1,025 HP AND 945 FT-LB TOURQUE, THE WUICKEST, FASTEST MOST POWERFUL MASS-PRODUCED VEHICLE IN THE WORLD, SO FAST, THAT IT WAS BANNED AGAIN FROM THE NHRA, BUT WHO GIVES A DAMN?! THAT INTRO THOUGH! ON. A. FU. KING. HELI. COPTER.

@RainbowDash69
Pontiac, sure!
Olds, sure!
But Saturn? Ehhh, no.

@RainbowDash69
That’s a Toyota Mark II Blit!

I failed my driving test
didn’t go at a green light (cuz the next junction 50m away was blocked and I thought I wasn’t supposed to go)

@RD4590
Oof.

Honestly Lamborghini could’ve used any of those to design Aventador’s successor. And instead they ended up with Revuelto.

Why those cars in particular? They are based on Aventador but is also one of a kind. It’d be like Aventador inheriting design elements from the Reventon, which is based on the Murcielago.
