Nice old cars other than x-fire

I got the Beretta so the next car bought was for my wife. It was faster than my Beretta and almost as good looking!

A 1993 Cavalier RS. 3.1 liter v6 140hp. My wife and daughter actually took this car to an autocross. She did very well.

2020 – “Prophecy”​

Hyundai’s most recent concept car, “Prophecy”, was revealed in March of this year. In sharp contrast to its predecessor 45, “Prophecy” features smooth curves and flowing lines, with virtually no sharp angles or hard edges to break the flow. Its neo-classic shape gives a nod to the luxury cars of the 1920s and 30s, while at the same time, unique features such as pixelated lighting and aerodynamic wheels make it seem like something from the future. Its name, “Prophecy”, is a clear hint that this car is a teaser of things to come.

“Prophecy” is the latest embodiment of Sensuous Sportiness. It represents the perfect marriage between aesthetic harmony and aerodynamics. The design identity can be seen in the car’s perfect silhouette, consisting of one streamlined curve sweeping from the front of the car to the rear. The smooth lines and sweeping curves give “Prophecy” the look of a perfectly-weathered stone. These elements help it achieve the Ultimate Automotive Form.

My jury on steering controlled by 2 joysticks is still out. I have no problem at all with my skidsteer or my zero turn mowers but then again, I'm not going 140 kph or more in those either....It is a sharp looker though...

[LE BARON]

And to think my namesake was building cars!

931 Pierce-Arrow Model 41 Sport Sedan body by LeBaron.

The Model 41 was Pierce-Arrow’s top model in 1931. It’s long 147-inch wheelbase was accompanied by a new straight-eight engine that could produce 132 bhp. In a sense, this model was reviving the brand by offering one of the most powerful American engines available at the time.

Studebaker was responsible for Pierce-Arrow’s 1931 model lineup which included 137, 142 and 147 inch wheelbases. The cars were offered by Studebaker’s vast dealer network and with a variety of body styles. All cars that came equipped with the eight-cylinder engine in 1931 came with a single bar bumper. Additionally, more chrome and a deeper radiator and an archer radiator cap set this model year apart.

Along with the 132 bhp engine, a free wheeling clutch for the transmission was included in the Model 41 and all other models in 1931.

Five different body styles were offered on the Model 41 chassis and all were built by LeBaron. These included a Convertible Victoria, a standard Coupe, a Limousine and a Club Sedan.
Original cost $5,375.00. LeBaron was originally formed by Ray Dietrich of Dietrich Inc.
