Rendering by Chrysler stylist Gil Spear - 1941 Many American cars were redesigned around 1940-1941.  Absent the USA's December 1941 entry into World War 2, the next redesigns might have appeared around 1944.  What would those cars have looked like? Some clues are offered in design models by Chrysler Corporation stylists made in the early 1940s.  A few of these are shown below.  Other models made around 1943 suggest postwar cars that might have been launched around 1947: these also are shown. As it happened, there was great pent-up demand for new cars in the early postwar years, so most American manufacturers profitably produced facelifted prewar designs until around the 1949 model year when the redesigned Chrysler Corporation line appeared.  Thanks to that delay, the projected circa-1947 designs pictured here never materialized. Regardless, I find these stillborn designs fascinating, and hope that you do too. Gallery Design for a Chrysler Windsor, May 1941. Chr...

CAR STARTING PROBLEM || CAR START UP PROBLEM cars have a lot's of starting problem most of the time car battery goes down and car not start and most time car have a leakage current for dropped the car battery voltage, thats are primary reason, but some cases car have a self starter problem like self starter pinion or many more child parts. some time, car battery light glowing issue on cluster meter that's most possible thing is electrical wire cut or alternator some parts are need to be replace most time alternator pulley are rotate in both direction that's goes wrong alternator pulley rotate only one direction for battery charging if this pulley are rotate in both direction or engine compartment noisy then this pulley are mostly damaged in this situation,so first check if battery light glowing in car cluster meter after check alternator other parts like carbon brush or regulator,rectifier etc. or,some time have a big problem like crank shaft position sensor malfu...

Your Loyal Blogger considers the Kia Soul to be a truly ugly automobile.  It started out ugly, its facelift was ugly and the recent design retains the uglyness. The Wikipedia entry for the Soul is here .  As of the time this post was drafted, that site held that there were three generations of Souls.  I consider the second "generation" a facelift, but for the purposes of the present post I'll go along with Wikipedia. Dates for "generations" refer to model years when the Soul versions were introduced in the United States. The images below are either factory or distributer sourced. Gallery 2012 Kia Soul dashboard, factory photo via the NetCarSow website.  A car might be ugly when viewed from outside, but owners mostly experience such cars from the inside.  This interior is rather busy looking, but not out of line with contemporary fashions. 2014 Kia Soul dashboard: same sources, same evaluation. 2020 Kia Soul dashboard.  The paired binnacles create a uneasy f...

Today's car stylists are greatly constrained by the corporate need to shape bodies by wind tunnel testing with the goal of improving or maintaining propulsive efficiency.  Packaging considerations further constrain the basic shapes of vehicles.  This combination is especially constrictive where sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) are concerned. The present post deals with entry-level SUVs from Mercedes-Benz and Porsche that reached the market in the mid- 2010-2020 decade.  Mercedes' SUV is the GLA-Series (Wikipedia entry here ), the Porsche Macan's brief entry is here . The GLA is the SUV version of Mercedes' entry-level A-Class.  Its initial wheelbase was 106.3 inches, 2966 mm, compared to 110.5 inches, 2807 mm for the Macan.  Therefore, the Macan can be considered in the next higher class of SUV. Nevertheless, the two models are worth comparing because they are from storied German brands, because they are near-contemporaries, and because they offer perspective on Ge...

A while ago I wrote about General Motors' Chevrolet Chevette, a small car that sold fairly well despite being unimpressive in many ways.  The Chevette was part of a 1970s GM initiative to have a basic platform serve as the basis for cars branded and assembled in the various parts of the world where GM had a presence. That was the 1973 T Platform , and the link lists the many models associated with it. Given the badge engineering theme of the present post, I will focus on two models that share the same two-door hatchback body -- an American Chevrolet Chevette and a German Opel Kadett C "City." The Chevette's wheelbase is one inch (25 mm) longer than the Opel's, but most body features are the same aside from the front ends, as noted below.  Motors and interior trim also differ, but so far as styling is concerned, the cars are in badge engineering territory. Gallery The Opel Kadett C using the T Platform entered production in 1973.  The car shown here is from a fe...

The Karoq is the most recent SUV from Skoda to show up in India. It very well may be viewed as a profound replacement to the yeti, yet while the last part feeling because of its peculiarity, Skoda has gone for the honest with Karoq. Seen from the side, the nose is a perfect size and the huge squared wheel curves include muscle. The origami-like cuts and wrinkles around the nose and tail additionally include heaps of character. Around the front, the minuscule auxiliary lights give it a high-cheekbone look. Curiously, there is no winged bolt logo at the back, just 'Skoda' spelled quite huge. Moving to the inside, it is here where the SUV's construct and nature of materials utilized truly sparkle. The front seats offer extra reinforcing, impeccable padding, and adequate sidelong help. Practically all the materials have an exceptional vibe, and Skoda fashioners have added to the intrigue of the lodge by fixing all that is significant with a lot of top-notch chrome. There is s...
