Description
1954 C1 Chevrolet Corvette And A 1928 Ford Sedan
The 1954 Corvette was not noticeably different from that of the original 1953 version. Several small modifications were made throughout the 1954 model year to make improvements upon the car. Some extra color options were added to the lineup in 1954 and included Pennant Blue, Sportsman Red, Black and Polo White. All 1954 Corvettes were supplied with red interiors with the only exception being the Pennant Blue model which had a beige interior. While new colors were available, the six-cylinder engine and Powerglide automatic transmission was the only powertrain available and it was not what sports car enthusiasts expected or wanted. Order guides for the 1954 Corvette listed several available options but all of the options were mandatory and all 1954 Corvettes were equipped the same other than their paint color. 3,640 1954 Corvettes were built, the price dropped almost twenty-one percent from the previous year but with the lack of performance and options the sales suffered badly with some Corvettes sitting on dealer lots for several years. At the end of 1954 there were nearly a third of the Corvettes unsold. A different story today, these older Corvettes are sought out and usually demand a high price from someone wishing to add one of these classic American sports cars to their collection.
1928 Ford 2-Door Sedan. The owner of this 1928 Ford moved the left hand door to the right side of the car and the left door to the right side to make his own suicide door set for the car. The great looking old Ford is powered by the 1949 to 1953 version of the Mercury flathead engine and the roof panel was replaced with a 1976 Chevy Malibu station wagon roof section.
Fords Model A, also known as the A-Model, the A or the A-bone among hot rodders was a huge success for the Ford Motor company after the Model T which it replaced. The Model A was built from 1927 to 1931 with production ending in March of 1932, There were 4,858,644 Model As produced in various body styles. The Model A was the first Ford to use a standardized set of driver controls with conventional clutch and brake pedals, throttle, gearshift lever and was the first car to have safety glass in the windshield. There was a very rare Model A Special Coupe produced but only from about March 1928 to mid 1929.
