Look At How Many Cars Have Passed On!

Remember the pinto limo from waynes world?

The older cars with automatic chokes were the worst.The best thing auto cos. did was start using fuel injection.

I am a Car nut - I confess... So in response to the info about muscle cars, the first muscle car in my mind was the 1955 Chrysler 300 . from Wikopedia :

This first of the letter series cars didn't actually bear a letter; it can retroactively be considered the '300A'. The 'C-' designation was applied to all Chrysler models, however for marketing purposes the numerical series skipped more than 225 numbers forward in sequence in order to further reinforce the 300's bhp rating. The 300 originally stood for the 300 hp (220 kW) engine. The C-300 was really a racecar aimed at the NASCAR circuits that was sold for the road for homologation purposes, with Chrysler's most powerful engine, the 331 cu in (5.4 L) FirePower "Hemi" V8, due to the hemisperic shape of the combustion chambers, fitted with twin 4-barrel carburetors, a race-profiled camshaft setup, solid valve lifters, stiffer suspension and a performance exhaust system. By 1956 this would be the first American production car to top 355 hp (265 kW), and the letter series was for many years the most powerful car produced in the United States.

I know a guy that actually placed a new " Hemi " into one of the 56' 300 's ...what a sweet ride ! Bob
