Luxury Lincolns doubled as race cars in the 1950s - Las Vegas Review - Journal

30.01.09

In the 1950s, the majority of new cars sold were virtually devoid of options. Plain-Jane styles outpaced opulent by a wide margin, which meant that gas-tank-draining V-8 power, automatic transmissions, radios, whitewall tires and even heaters and defrosters in some cases, were passed over, while mom and dad scrimped and saved to come up with a sufficient down payment to satisfy the bank or finance company.

For those with the means -- usually doctors, lawyers or successful business entrepreneurs -- luxury-car ownership represented real status in the community. Few outside this professional pecking order would even consider shopping for such a vehicle, even if they had the money to do so.

But, despite being built in limited numbers, luxury cars were still seen by the manufacturers as a hot commodity.

For example, in the early days of NASCAR competition, factory-supported drivers piloting V-8-powered Chrysler, Cadillac and Lincoln stock cars were the most successful on the track. Elsewhere, a nearly bone-stock Cadillac coupe was raced at the Le Mans (France) 24-hour endurance race where it finished a respectable 10th.

Most expensive car: 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 435 HP Price At last there was announced the pricing of 2010 Porsche 911 GT3. The base price is $112,200, excluding taxes and destination charges. Porsche’s latest GT3 435 HP is following suit with the rest of the 997 line by getting a few updates. The most important is an extra 20 hp, care of a displacement bump of 0.2 liters to 3.8 liters and 435 hp total. This allows the GT3 to sprint from 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds and reach a top speed of 194 mph. Further enhancing performance is the fact that Porsche’s VarioCam system is now employed on the exhaust camshafts, not just the intake ones. Compared to the current GT3, the new model features an additional 200cc in displacement which helps to create the extra 20 hp. Perhaps it’s a good thing the GT3 continues to offer Porsche’s active suspension system (PASM), allowing the driver to select between a softer mode for casual driving and a stiffer setting for track days.

Jul 04, 2007 by skykiss \| Posted in Other - Cars & Transportation My mom says she would get any car that I want and I want a luxury car, but I am a college student so I want one that would be reliable. Also I would have to drive about 20 mins. to school everyday because I am living off campus. Which luxury cars are most reliable? I would get a Volvo or a BMW - but an Audi could be great too. They are dependable, very safe and quite luxurious. Any luxury car will be reliable - that's part of what you pay for. For the fun quotient - I'd go with either the BMW or the Audi. But Volvos have a slight edge with safety and reliability, judging from my friends. Call Me Ishmael \| Jul 04, 2007 removals to austria What rare ultra luxury cars do you know?
