1903-1904 Ford Model A
Body Style: 2-passenger runabout, 4-passenger rear entrance tonneau
Engine: 1.7L Flat-2, 2.0L Flat-2
Power: 8-10 HP
Weight: 1,240 lbs. (562 kg.)
Transmission: 2-speed planetary
Drive train: mid engine, rear-wheel drive
Henry Ford's first attempt at creating an automotive manufacturing company was the Henry Ford Company founded in 1901. This became the Cadillac Motor Company after leaving with the rights to his name. He then founded the Ford Motor Company in 1903.
FoMoCo's first car was the Model A. It was intended to compete with the more popular and successful Oldsmobile Curved Dash. The Model A was $150 more than an Oldsmobile which lead to it not selling as well. The starting price was $750 for the 2-passenger runabout and $850 for the 4-seater tonneau with optional picnic/luggage baskets. Other options included headlamps, horn and brass trimmings for an additional $50. A rubber roof could be ordered for $30 or $50 for a leather roof. The Ford Model A featured rear mechanical band brakes and a planetary style transmission with chain drive. The car could reach speeds between 28 and 30 miles per hour.
Ford built 650 cars in 1903 but production for the Model A would continue the following year. Ford had increased it's lineup for 1904. The Model B and Model C were introduced. The Model B was Ford's first front engine car and the Model C was more entry level. The 1904 Model A used the larger and more powerful engine from the Model C and was called the Model AC.
By the end of 1904, Model A production ended. Ford produced 1,750 Model As and would introduce new models down the alphabet until the famed Model T was introduced in 1908.

Sbarro Stash '74
Body style: 2-door coupe
Engine: 6.9-liter V8
Power: 286 HP / 4250 rpm
Torque: 405 lb-ft / 3000 rpm
Weight: 1300 kg
Transmission: 4-speed automatic
Drivetrain: Mid engine, Rear wheel drive
Additional Information:
In 1974, Sbarro presented at the Geneva Motor Show its latest creation: the Stash. This three-seater coupe has been designed on the basis of SV1 with a more harmonious design. Two body styles are offered: coupé or cabriolet (targa type), the latter being called HS.
The chassis, similar to the SV1, consists of a central beam connected to a tubular frame and a reinforced roll cage doubled, all drowned in two polyester cage. Braking is provided by four discs.
Abandoning the rotary engine of the SV1, the Stash is available with several engines. The first comes from Volkswagen, a 4-cylinder 1.8-liter K70 . The second is from Mercedes 450 SE. The third is a 6.9-liter V8, twice as powerful as the VW block, with 286 horsepower.
Such powers may not look apealing today, but we must remember that at the time an Alpine A110 developed 95 horses, a Ferrari 308 just 255 horses. The Stash is far from being under powered, even in 4-cylinder version. The version 6.9 equipped with the Mercedes reached 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds. Or roughly the performance of a Ferrari 308.
Only 5 of the Stash copies have been sold. The car has, as Sbarro said himself, "a beautiful appearance, it is convenient and relatively cheap." The Stash is unknown and did not get the attention it would have deserved. It is very difficult to know what these rare cars have become today.

No one ever nominates SU-bait anymore. Save for a few of you it feels like the nominations are a "race for the top" lately. I totally understand that, I've done it before myself. Please don't stop, its always fun seeing what gets nominated next. Just keep in mind that oftentimes on here, a bad car gets more discussion than a good one. Anyway

In all seriousness though, this was a rather infamous dealer-fit package for the Australian-market DC Kia Rio, which was entirely standard mechanically apart from lowered springs but, crucially, featured a bonnet scoop, gold wheels and rear wing all inspired by the Subaru WRX STi.

This is another car from my youth as my father owned a Chrysler dealership at the time. After Lee Iacocca took over at Chrysler he thought they needed a flagship vehicle to assure the public that Chrysler had a future. Well it didn't exactly turn out that way. This was a more upscale version of the 2 door Chrysler Cordoba and Dodge Mirada.
My dad loved and I mean LOVED this car. He had to have one as soon as they were announced. I was 15 at the time so I had my learner permit and got to drive it some. He let me drive it back from Huntsville, AL where I had played high school basketball that night to our home about an hour away. His had an 8 track stereo system. I remember the digital dash, the crystal hood ornament, the "fake" crystal in the end of the ignition key, almost everything about this car.
This was Chrysler's first attempt at a throttle body fuel injection system and wow did it suck. They had so many problems with it that 1982 and 1983 models were fitted with carburetors instead and 1981 models were retrofitted to carburetors under warranty.
Lee's pal Frank Sinatra even loaned his name to a Frank Sinatra special edition that lasted the first two years but was dropped for the final 1983 year.
The car was overpriced and it under delivered. But as I said my dad loved it and found one in the late 80's that he kept until he passed away in 1999.
