Bill Mitchell Sting Ray

Overall corvettes have been an amazing sports car to buy. With the exception of the 1980's it has been a great consumer car. It all started with the first generation C1 in 1953. The first corvettes only came stock with a L6 and later in 1955 with v8 engines. When I think of classic cars the one car that always comes to mind is the 1958 Corvette. Its such a good looking car! Then came the sting ray in the 60's which had great looks as well as performance. Corvette was Americas "pride and joy" in the early 60's. The 60's was the peak of corvette in my eyes. Even throughout the years to come Corvette managed to still kept its looks and somewhat performance up until now. I am very disappointed to see what Corvette is releasing for 2013. But then, I go back and look at the beautiful cars they made back in the day when American cars had style.

VW Bus (Type 2)

The Volkswagen Type 2 is a world icon of "The Van." Volkswagen was truly the first to bring the revolution of the modern passenger vehicle. The Type 2 was also another iconic hippie symbol, often referred to as a "hippie van." The Buses were also sold as campers. They came with a built in sink and foldable table, on later models foldable roofs were added to sleep. Other versions of the VW bus include everything from a delivery van to a flatbed truck to even a rail going draisine(a car that drives on railroad track). Many companies soon after copied VW by making their own versions such as the American car companies like Ford Econoline, Chevy Greenbrier, and Dodge A100.

Whats not to like about these vans. They are probably the only type of van I like. But the unique iconic design of the 60's makes it a loved van by all sorts of generations.

VW Corrado

The Volkswagen Corrado was more of an unknown car that Volkswagen made. They only made 97,521 of these cars in its short lifetime from 1988 to 1995. It was a 3-door hatchback coupe. It was easily confused with the Scirocco because of the similar body style. The Corrado was a high performance VW that offered a 1.9 liter VR6 stock engine. It produced about 192 horse power. It also offered smaller engines like the 1.8L I4 Supercharger at 160hp. One of the neat features of this car is that it had a rear spoiler that automatically raised when reaching freeway speeds.
