The Auto Resources section of InternetAutoGuide.com just went live. I have a number of articles published on this new site, with many more to come. Here are links to a couple of them, with a little info from each article.
Jaguar launched the XJ series in 1968, the same year that the company merged with the British Motor Corporation. The XJ series replaced all of Jaguar's previous four-door sedans, the 340, 420 and 420G and met with initial success, both commercially and critically. As ownership changed hands, Leyland bought out BMC and then the company was nationalized and became British Leyland. During this time, the XJ6 line suffered from quality issues which were finally rectified as Jaguar left the British Leyland fold in the 1980s.
The definition of “muscle car” is one that is open to some interpretation. Merriam-Webster defines a muscle car as "any of a group of American-made, two-door sports coupes with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving." Some add that a true muscle car must have a V-8 engine, rear-wheel drive and an original MSRP that would have been affordable to the general car buying public. Smaller-framed vehicles that meet many of the other muscle car requirements are often referred to as pony cars. Some, but not all, pony cars can also be classified as muscle cars, depending on which “expert” you ask. This list makes use of the broader definition that includes some pony cars and defines the classic period for muscle cars as 1964 through the mid 1970s.
The Ford Model T was a revolutionary car. Ford's use of the assembly line, introduced in 1913, helped to usher in and define the industrial revolution. In 1999, the Model T was voted Car of the Century. With over 15 million units sold between 1908 and 1927, the Model T held the record for the best-selling vehicle in history until 1972, when it was surpassed by the Volkswagen Beetle.
The Ford Model A replaced Henry Ford's "universal car," the Model T, which still stands as one of the best-selling automobiles of all time, with more than 15 million units sold during its 19 year production run. Introduced in 1927, the Ford Model A styling cues borrowed so much from its upscale cousin, the Lincoln, that it was dubbed "the baby Lincoln."
Winter weather brings unique hazards to drivers. Snow and ice make starting, accelerating and steering challenging -- and when temperatures dip below zero, weather-related hazards can be magnified. The extreme cold can negatively affect your car's performance, causing fluids to thicken and your battery to function improperly. If you must drive in such conditions, there are a number of things, both preventative and while on the road, you can do to help ensure you reach your destination safely.
