OPALA SS
PRIMEIRA LEVA TINHA MOTOR 4100
SEIS CILINDROS E 140 CV
A década de 1970 foi efervescente para o setor automotivo. A classe média estava em ascensão, podia cobrar qualidade embora não tivesse dinheiro sobrando. Por isso, as fábricas começaram a desenvolver veículos conforme as necessidades brasileiras. O Opala é o samba entre projeto alemão e motor norte-americano, com o gingado brasileiro que deu certo.
O começo da linha surge quando a GM aproveitou um projeto da Opel, Rekord C, sua subsidiária alemã, com o motor invocado do Chevrolet Impala, com ajustes da equipe de engenharia brasileira. Alguns dizem que o nome Opala veio dessa junção.
Eis que o mercado jovem crescia e outras marcas estavam lançando produtos de olho nestes motoristas. A Chrysler dispunha do Dodge Dart e Charger RT e a Ford do Maverick. Era constante a pergunta sobre uma resposta GM. Então, em 1971, veio o Opala SS. O trio de muscles brasileiros estava completo.
“O público da época buscava apelo esportivo e esperava algo a altura” comenta um especialista Antigo Motors. E veio. Logo na primeira leva, motor 4100 de seis cilindros, com potência bruta de 140 cavalos, chegando fácil aos 170 km/h, algo muito bom para a época. Embora as portas para importação de carros estivessem abertas para quem se interessasse pelos verdadeiros muscle cars, os brasileiros sabiam que poderiam ter a sua opção nacional.
O formato de “garrafa de coca-cola” é uma característica em toda linha, variando questões de acabamento e mecânica.
A suspensão era considerada macia demais para um esportivo, mas eficiente. Os freios, a disco na frente e tambor atrás, bons para segurar o carrão. As faixas pretas no capô e laterais de longe expressam a esportividade do modelo, bem como as rodas de aço em desenho de estrela. “Daí surge a linha SS. Um carro que acima de tudo, tinha aparência esportiva” explica o estudioso.
O modelo quatro portas não era bem aceito, tornando raro um exemplar como este.
Nos anos seguintes, predominância do modelo duas portas, sem coluna central e janelas desprovidas de molduras. No interior, sofisticação que aprendeu com outros modelos da linha, manopla e aro do volante de madeira. A esportividade ganhava entusiasmo com um conta-giros no painel.
A comunicação para chegar até os consumidores era na base da esportividade. “As regras de trânsito não eram tão rígidas, embora o limite de velocidade tenha nascido na mesma época” conta o parceiro Antigo Motors. Portanto podia-se vender desempenho e velocidade sem receios. “Naquela época só se andava chinelando” recorda-se. Embora ainda hoje se venda desempenho nos anúncios de autos, é algo mais brando e por vezes apenas sugerido, como “agilidade no trânsito”.
A sigla SS – Alguns dizem que se o carro fosse para atender o consumidor norte-americano, a explicação seria “separated seats”. Porém, “para o público brasileiro “super sport” traduz melhor o que se esperava de um carro naquela época” diz o especialista. Isso porque o Opala SS oferece individualidade ao motorista, acento separado, influindo de forma subjetiva no poder centralizado sobre guiar o carro.
A continuidade - A partir de 1972 o teto do modelo apresenta uma caída acentuada para trás, seguindo o apetite pela esportividade. Em 1976, novidades no motor que passa para 250-S, cuja potência saltou para 171 cavalos brutos e o modelo se tornou o mais rápido do país de acordo com teste de importante revista da época. Nesse período, em plena crise do petróleo, foi lançado opção de quatro cilindros, SS-4, mantendo apenas na aparência a musculosa ânsia pela velocidade. Após quase 10 anos de história, em 1980, a linha SS se despede do público.

Although the name MacBrayne dominates the subject, no mention of West Highland coastal shipping would be complete without a reference to McCallum Orme's two steamers, the Hebrides and the Dunara Castle.
Seen here is the Hebrides built 1898. McCO merged with McB in 1948 and the Hebrides continued until scrapped in 1955.
Her ship's bell was for a while displayed in the Harris Hotel in Tarbert, Isle of Harris (a regular port of call for the Hebrides) but is now displayed on Caledonian MacBrayne's current vessel to serve Tarbert, also called MV Hebrides as seen here. For contrast here is a picture of the current Hebrides.

Star Crusier SS Aurelius for the space saga 'Beyond Sol'.
SS Aurelius was one of hundreds of cruisers in The Confederation fleet built on the accomplished Markov hull. SS Aurelius was built before The Great War during the Age Of Colinization. It was then used for exploring less known asteroids and asteroid fields. SS Aureliues almost completely lack thrusters which significantly reduces manueverability in the asteroid fields. Instead the hull was reinforced and an artillery piece was mounted to able clearing a path in "rough terrain". Outside of the asteroid field the ship relies on it's fleet of service ships for precision manouvering.
The four plasma rockets are able to propel the ship to very high velocities but can only fire it's rocket engines a few times before they are spent. That get's you to a couple of asteroid fields and back, but not much more.
In the service of the Confederation SS Aurelius was used more for millitary purposes. The ship was equipped with two defensive laser turrets to protect the vulnerable opening in the front and the main engine was upgraded to an ion propulsion engine (Class II) to increase the ships short range propulsion. Inside the protection of a fleet the ship may be usefel to take out sattelites and assist the more fearsome ships. But on her own SS Aurelius was not capable of inflicting much damage. It was probably for this reason the Confederacy hade given command of this ship to Commander L. They did not fully trust his loyalty towards the Confederation.
YAYAY! I finally got SS Frankie! Her hair is a little messy, but I was too excited.

A model of the passenger cargo liner SS Gelria at the Glasgow Transport Museum, 2 March 2007.
The Gelria was built by Alexander Stephen & Sons, Govan, being launched and completed in 1913 for the Royal Dutch Line. She measured 541 ft x 65.8 ft x 35 ft and weighed 13,870 tons gross. The ship had 10,500 ihp quadruple expansion, steam reciprocating engines and two screws which gave her a service speed of 17.5 kts.
The Gelria was built for the Amsterdam – South America service. In 1935 she was sold to the Trieste Line and renamed SS Gradisca. In 1937 she was used as a troopship and a hospital ship in the Abyssinian War.
In 1940 when Italy entered WWII she was requisitioned by the Italian Navy and converted to a hospital ship. When Italy surrendered in 1943 the German Navy seized her, continuing to use her as a hospital ship but was soon captured by a British destroyer. The Royal Navy then used her as a troopship but in 1946 she ran aground on the Greek island of Gavdos and sank. She was salvaged in 1947 but laid up unrepaired until scrapped in 1950.
