| The Italian Influence On American Cars, part 1: Some Examples Of Inspiration And Inspired Efforts 
Posted by Daniel Strohl - While it is undeniable that American automotive design represented in the years between 1925 and 1960 is the very best from a sheer industrial point of view, it is undeniable also that from a strictly stylistic point every major car-building country tended to offer many examples of autonomous ways of designing and engineering cars, this because once the new product was constantly developed and its secrets became better known to a mass of engineering and design disciples, a large number of absolute ge...

From the seller's description: This car was owned by one family and kept indoors for most of its life. It was driven at least once a month.

This 1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS is a very tidy example that's been well-maintained but not modified, making it the one to own if you've been looking for one of these cool coupes. To my eye, blue was the most attractive of the SS colors, since it shows off the stylish Monte Carlo shape as well as the unique S...Read More | LAST WEEK'S MOST READ National Corvette Museum begins restoration of final sinkhole-damaged Corvette Posted by Kurt Ernst - Moving the '62 Corvette off the Skydome floor on February 9.

In the three years since the February 12, 2014, sinkhole collapse of the Skydome floor at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, two of the eight cars damaged have been restored.
