1975 Alfa Romeo Montreal

We posted an Alfa Romeo Montreal a month or so ago so let us reprise what we wrote back then: If you ever see a Montreal in the US, it came from somewhere else. You see, Alfa never federalized a version for US and Canada. Then why call it a Montreal? Well, it was a show car name that stuck when it entered production. The unusual design was penned by Marcello Gandini. Gandini focused more on vehicle structure, architecture and assembly than on design. Read More

Abarth Zagato Double Bubble fr

Take one Fiat 600 chassis, add a smart business man who knew how to get the most out of a car, and you get an Abarth 750 Zagato. Carlo Abarth wore a few hats before he set out to build his own line or racing cars. He saw a void in the “drive to the track, race, and drive home” class and he set out to fill that segment with cars branded Abarth. By basing the cars on a Fiat 600 chassis, he was able to provide a capable racer at an affordable price. That strategy paid off as he maximized sales to privateer racers.  Read More

Off with its flat-head: ’40 Ford Deluxe Tudor

Category: Your Pick Tags: , Leave a Comment

1940 Ford V-8

The 1937 Ford featured a more rounded look with fine horizontal bars in the convex front and hood-side grilles. The front grille was V-shaped, rather than following the fenders into a pentagon shape. Faired-in headlights were a major modernization found on both the Standard and DeLuxe trim versions, though much of the rest of the design was shared between Ford’s two lines. The 1940 model year was the last year for this design. An unmodified 1940 Ford Deluxe Tudor sedan is hard to find but it is even harder to find one unrestored and in original condition.  Read More
