Many Lincoln Town Cars of the 1998-2011 generation are still on the road as I write this.  I've never driven one, but occasionally have ridden in some that are used as airport limousines.  They have luxurious interiors and the back seats are nice and comfortable.  And I've read that they are reliable and can easily attain high mileages -- that is why many limousine operators were unhappy when Ford stopped production, meaning that possibly inferior replacements would eventually be needed. Wikipedia entries for the Town Car and its Ford Panther platform siblings, the Mercury Grand Marquis and Ford Crown Victoria, are respectively here , here , and here (scroll down to the 1998 generation in each case). Besides cruising around cities and towns, these cars cruised well on the USA's Interstate system of freeways.  Police forces used the Ford version in beefed up form. I had trouble finding suitable factory-sourced images for this post, so what you see below will have to do, I&#

Originally a maker of engines, Ballot made cars under its own name from 1919 to 1932, the latter date not long after it was acquired by Hispano-Suiza.  Its Wikipedia entry is here , and information regarding some of its models is here . Ballot built racing cars, so it isn't surprising that its passenger cars had high performance and were costly. Below are some examples of its passenger lines.  These automobiles pre-date the modern styling era, having bodies mostly or entirely by coachbuilders. Gallery Ballot 2LS by Lagache et Glaszman from about 1922.  This body style was later called "Torpedo Sport" (TS).  The "2L" refers to "two liter." Ballot 2TLS by Vanvooren. undated. 1928 Ballot 2LT I photographed in the Museo Automovilistico y de la Moda in Málaga, Spain Three views of a 1929 eight-cylinder Ballot with Weymann body up for auction.  The fender-mounted spare tires were not original equipment on this car. This seems to be a similar car with spare

This is a short post because I could find only three images of the proposed General Motors postwar small-car vehicle concept.  Nevertheless, I find it quite interesting because it shows what Harley Earl's styling staff was thinking back in 1945-47.   Some background on the Cadet project is here . Below are those images plus a view of a 1949 Chevrolet, GM's post- World War 2 A-Body redesign. Gallery It's hard to tell if this is an airbrush styling rendering or a heavily retouched photo of a Cadet mockup.  My guess is that it's the latter because a mockup existed, and in those days General Motors staff produced many retouched images.  I further suspect that the grille design was a provisional placeholder for a different production design, though this design would have been satisfactory.  Interesting that the grille of the 1953 Studebaker line also has a V'd segment splitter and a single central horizontal bar. Here is a 1949 Chevrolet four-door notchback sedan.  Note

I last wrote about Lotus five years ago in this post  dealing with the Lotus Elan. But to me and many others, the classic Lotus was the original Lotus Elite produced 1957-1963. Its design has been credited to Peter Kirwan-Taylor (1930-2014) (reference here ), but some attribute major input to Ron Hickman (who also contributed to the Elan). The Revs Institute in Naples, Florida has a second-series 1962 Lotus in its collection and its Web page gives credit largely to Kirwan-Taylor while acknowledging contributions by Hickman. Regardless of its styling pedigree, the original Elite was an outstanding design, as can be seen in the images below. Gallery A 1959 Lotus Elite, Coys Auction photo. Many Elites were painted cream color as in the first image.  Buy here is a 1963 Lotus in not-quite British Racing Green: Hyman auctions photo. This and the following images of a 1962 Lotus Elite are Bonhams auction photos.  The design is simple, logical, and essentially ornamentation-free.  By &quo

The 1953 DeSoto Adventurer show car was one of those attractive Ghia-built Chrysler Corporation show cars of the early 1950s. It was designed by Virgil Exner , who later became head of Chrysler styling.  During the early 1950s he was greatly interested in the styling of sports and sport-touring cars by Italian coach builders such as Ghia, Pinin Farina, Vignale, Touring and Zagato.  He felt that Italian designs were closer to what automobiles should be than the jet fighter and spaceship design features that were starting to appear on American cars and that were evident in some dream car designs, especially those from Ford. The Adventurer's design was a favorite car of Exner's, who drove the car for a few years following its car show duties.  It was based on a shortened DeSoto chassis and powered by the DeSoto Firedome V-8 motor. Exner was at the top of his game in those days, so who am I to gainsay his belief that the Adventurer was a very fine example of the stylist's art.

The Nash Rambler , launched during the 1950 model year was the most successful American postwar "compact" car.  Not so successful were the early 1950s Henry J from Kaiser, the Aero Willys and the Hudson Jet. Eventually, a redesign was called for, resulting in the 1956 Rambler from American Motors Corporation (AMC, created by a merger of Nash and Hudson in the spring of 1954).  Ramblers for the 1955-56 model years were badged as either Nash Rambler or Hudson Rambler.  Beginning in 1957, Rambler became a distinct brand. Given the lead-time required for the creation and production of a new design, it seems likely that styling of the 1956 Rambler line was started before AMC was created.   Edmund Anderson , a veteran of General Motors, joined Nash in 1950 and was responsible for Nash and AMC styling until his departure in 1961. The previous link suggests that Anderson might have been more an administrator than designer, but was good at hiring talented stylists.  Whatever the desi
