2011 Ford Mustang V6 vs 1970 Mustang Boss 302: Who’s the real boss?

As you might guess, finesse really wasn't part of the formula.

General Motors has begun production of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze sedan for North America; the first cars will be delivered to dealerships next week.

It almost seems incongruous to think of American Motors – that company so immersed in the red, white and blue that it adopted the color scheme for its race cars and for its logo – as exporting its products all over the globe, but Kenosha did indeed pursue export programs beyond North America, including to Australia, South Africa and Germany, often using partner companies to assemble knock-down versions of its cars. Indeed, that’s the case with the above right-hand drive 1968 Ambassador…

years without plates on the carburetors from losing its spring date on
