Special:
- Lancia is an Italian automobile manufacturer founded in 1906 by Vincenzo Lancia and which became part of the Fiat Group in 1969. The company has a long history of producing distinctive cars, many technical improvements and also has a strong rally heritage. Lancia quickly earned a reputation for being one of the most innovative carmakers in the world.
- The Lancia Fulvia Series (named after Via Fulvia, the Roman road leading from Tortona to Torino and according to other sources named after Fulvia Flacca Bambula, an aristocratic Roman woman and wife of Mark Antony) was designed in-house (Centro Stile Lancia) at Lancia in Milan - Italy. The technical concept is by Antonio Fessia, the model was designed by Pietro Castagnero. The V-4 engine was designed by Zaccone Mina and mounted forward at a 45-degree angle.
- It was introduced at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show.
- Parallel to the 1C Series ran 2C 1a Series (1964-1967: 48,266 units built) with the same engine but with twin Solex C32 PHH + Solex C32 PHH1 carburettors, 71bhp/6.000 rpm, 92Nm/4.300rpm and a top speed of 145km/h.
- In 1969, Fiat took over production of Lancia, so the Fulvia Berlina Series (1963-1972: 188,637 units built, while other sources say 192,097 units built) was arguably the last true Lancia, all assembled at the new Lancia plant in Chivasso - Italy.
I went to Milan Dragway with my wife and a few friends yesterday - it was a beautiful day for the races. I shot this particular image as a car was leaving the line - love how the grip from tire to track makes the tire wrinkle up as they accelerate.

- The Plymouth automobile was introduced on July 7, 1928. It was the Chrysler Corporation's first entry in the low-priced field, which at the time was dominated by Chevrolet and Ford.
- The logo featured a rear view of the Mayflower ship which landed at Plymouth Rock, hence the name "Plymouth" as the brand.
- The origins of the first Plymouth can be traced back to the Maxwell automobile. When Walter Chrysler took over control of the trouble-ridden Maxwell-Chalmers car company in the early 1920's, he inherited the Maxwell as part of the package. After he used the company's facilities to help create and launch the Chrysler car in 1924, he decided to create a lower-priced companion car. So for 1926 the Maxwell was reworked and re-badged as a low-end Chrysler model. Then at the end of the decade this model was once again reworked and re-badged, this time to create the Plymouth.
- After WWII, production (re-)started with pre-war models in October 1945 until spring 1949.
- The Special DeLuxe Series P-15C was available as this 4-door Sedan, as 2-door Club Coupé (99,680 units built), as 2-door Convertible (15,240 units built), as 5-door (ash wood-body) Station Wagon (3,443 units built) and as “rolling chassis” (981 units built).
- The first pre-war (Special) DeLuxe Series, sold as Dodge Kingsway in Canada, was assembled at the Lynch Road Assembly, Highland Park, Michigan - USA.

Special:
- The American LaFrance Company (one of the oldest fire apparatus manufacturers in America) was founded in the early 1830s, producing horse drawn carriages and steam powered fire engines. It was officially formed by Truckson LaFrance (a descendant of a French Huguenot emigrant to America) and his partners in 1873 as the LaFrance Manufacturing Company selling hand powered equipment, emergency response vehicles, such as chemical engines, aerial ladder trucks, airport crash trucks and more.
- Different used ALF-fire trucks converted into a cars on a shortened chassis. By adjusting the gears, the car could easily be adapted for use on public roads. For switching of the un-synchronized gears experience was an absolute requirement. The huge torque provided the car to drive away in second or third gear.
- This was in fact an inexpensive way to get a fast and reliable automobile. Therefore, it is also difficult to get reliable info about numbers, models, etc..
- They were assembled at the plant in Elmira, New York - USA.
- Starting of the engine (individual cylinders displaces about 2.34 liters ☺! and three spark plugs per cylinder) was a cumbersome procedure. At first you had to be built up pressure with a hand pump in the fuel tank, then the ignition was put on “late” and the choke pulled out. After opening of the hood you had to inject gasoline into the cylinders (wit an oiler). Then the startbobine was switched on and the decompression button pulled out and the engine could be cranked. When the engine was running the various buttons and levers were put back into their original positions.
- The huge torque provided the car to drive away in second or third gear.
- Fuel consumption: “No comment, just a happy local fuelstation manager ☺!”

Special:
- American Motors Corporation (AMC) was an American automobile company formed on January 14, 1954 by the merger of the Nash-Kelvinator Corporation and the Hudson Motor Car Company. At the time, it was the largest corporate merger in U.S. history, valued at US$198 million ($1.44 billion in 2006 dollars). When declining sales and the competitiveness of the United States auto market forced AMC to seek a partner in the late 1970s, the company formed an alliance with France's Renault. This lasted until March 2, 1987, when the Chrysler Corporation purchased AMC. Use of the AMC and Renault brand names ceased in the United States. The Jeep line continued; also some Eagle models.
- The AMX is designed by AMC's VP of Styling, the legendary Richard A. “Dick” Teague and is part of AMC's 7030 range of cars.
- This Fastback Coupé was more or less a modified (read smaller) two-seater version of the Javelin.
- The AMX name originates from the "American Motors eXperimental" code used on a concept vehicle and then on two prototypes shown on the company's "Project IV" automobile show tour in 1966.
- Because it had to compete with Chevrolet Corvette, all cars had only V-8 engines.
- There were 52 examples of the Hurst-modified SS/AMX drag strip racing versions.
- The were produced in Kenosha, Wisconsin, US and in Port Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (Australian Motor Industries [AMI]: Complete knock down (CKD) kits and sold as Rambler AMX).

Special:
- The new TA was lower, wider, more spacious and has a more comfortable cockpit than its predecessor, the PB, but still many components borrowed from Morris. The production of these sports cars was concentrated at a factory in Abingdon.
- When first introduced, this bench-type two-seater vehicle with cut-out doors, folding windscreen, a tall, square radiator, (known as the T Type and only after the advent of the TB did the TA designation come into use), could be purchased in open and closed configuration.
- Later, the open coupé, referred to as an Airline Coupé by Carbodies Limited in Coventry (but only one or two is thought to have been made), was replaced with a Drophead style, using a soft-top.
- There was also a successful Tickford embodiment by Salmons in Newport Pagnell, 252 units built of which presumably only a dozen survivors.
- The Cream Cracker Team became three factory TAs with the 1600cc engine of the larger MG VA Tourer in 1937, being very successful in the hill climb races that season.
- Allan Tomlinson won the 1939 Australian Grand Prix driving an MG TA.
- The T-Series became the icon of British Sports Cars.
Another young dreadnok prospect, Torque fits right with the gang, with the exception of his love for speed bikes, which they often mock him for.
Now I'm on bit of a dreadnok kick again.
