Daily Roddin’: ’56 Corvette and ’57 Chevy

It’s not very often that two of the most iconic vehicles of the ’50s are seen in the same photograph.  This ’57 Chevy and this ’56 Corvette were both hanging out at the annual Beausejour car show, soaking up the late afternoon sun as the rest of the field packs up and heads home.

Daily Roddin’: 1956 Dodge Lancer

From the end of WWII until the early ’50s, Chrysler and Dodge vehicles sold well in spite of, not because of, their designs.  As the post-war demand for passenger vehicles began to wane, customers dropped their love for Chrysler Corporation brands like they were hot.  In an attempt to save the company, Dodge put their [...]

Daily Roddin’: Chevy II Convertible

There was a time when convertibles were transportation for everyone, not just playboys and thrill-seekers.  In fact, nearly every vehicle, including this little orange Chevy II, came in a convertible format.  Heck, even Lincoln built a 4-door convertible around this time, complete with rear suicide doors!

Daily Roddin’: October 10th, 2009

When Lee Iacoca’s spidey-sense started tingling, he ordered his team of trained monkeys (aka, engineers) to come up with a smaller, more fuel-efficient replacement for the first generation Mustang.  The result–a compact sportscar powered by a tiny, gutless engine–was released on the world in 1973 as a ’74 model year car, only two months before [...]
