Compared to its predecessor it was much more rounded at the edges, with the company's traditionally staid boxiness bowing to aerodynamic realities. That first generation ran for four years before getting replaced in the North American market by the even more rounded second generation of V70, which in turn… ## [1964 Plymouth Valiant Fact Sheet](https://over-drive-magazine.com/2026/08/15/1964-plymouth-valiant-fact-sheet/) _2026-08-15 · Bob Gerometta · Over-Drive Magazine_ Building on a worldwide record sales success in 1963, Plymouth merely re-trimmed the new Valiant body it had released in 1963. In mid-1964, Chrysler released an all-new 273 CID V-8 engine as optional equipment in all Valiant models.

A softer ride was introduced. The engine and driveline were unchanged. Sales dropped to a bit under 22 thousand.

At least initially, the 455 V-8 disappeared from the Firebird option list, leaving the 400 cubic inch L78 V-8 as the sole motive source for the Trans Am. Compression had been reduced to 7.6:1 which slashed output to a dismal 185 SAE net horsepower. Standard transmission was a wide-ratio four-speed manual, with optional close ratio… ## [1966 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S](https://carsgoneby.blogspot.com/2026/08/1966-plymouth-barracuda-formula-s.html) _2026-08-07 · Tam · Cars Gone By_ Mopar fans will gleefully point out that Ford's "original pony car" was actually beaten to the showroom floor by Plymouth's offering in the youthful sporty coupe category, the Barracuda. (Maybe the category should be called fishy cars?) This was possible because the Mustang was one of the most poorly-kept secrets in Detroit and, while it relied heavily on shared mechanicals with the compact… ## [1958 Mercury Fact Sheet](https://over-drive-magazine.com/2026/08/06/1958-mercury-fact-sheet/) _2026-08-06 · Bob Gerometta · Over-Drive Magazine_ The biggest news was the arrival of the new MEL V-8 delivered in either 383 or 430 CID. The Super Marauder version hit 400 HP. The stretched wheelbase Park Lane replaced the Turnpike Cruiser as the top line.

It was initially only available as a base two- or four-door sedan, but for the 1971 model year, a sportily-styled version was introduced, known as the Maverick Grabber. While it came with snarly-looking scoops on the hood and a ducktail spoiler on the decklid, it… ## [2009 Buick Lucerne CXL](https://carsgoneby.blogspot.com/2026/08/2009-buick-lucerne-cxl.html) _2026-08-05 · Tam · Cars Gone By_ With Oldsmobile getting shuttered in 2004, Buick's portfolio had a bit of room to expand into sportier territory, but this happened at a time when the US auto market was careening SUV-ward at an increasing pace. In response, Buick shrank their sedan selection by half. The midsize Century and Regal were replaced with the W-body LaCrosse, while the full-size LeSabre and Park Avenue nameplates were… ## [1964 Oldsmobile Full Size Car Fact Sheet](https://over-drive-magazine.com/2026/07/24/1964-oldsmobile-full-size-car-fact-sheet/) _2026-07-24 · Bob Gerometta · Over-Drive Magazine_ In a surprising bit of marketing, a pair of Jetstar name­plates were added to the Oldsmobile lineup in 1964. A new bottom line Eight-Eight Series group was now the Jetstar Eighty-Eight. then came a companion car to the Starfire Series the Jetstar 1.

In late '57 several new features were added and the resulting car is called the TR3A (although the badges still just say TR3). The features included such luxuries as exterior door handles, a locking latch on the trunk, as well as a wider grille which makes it distinguishable from earlier models at a distance. Under the… ## [1958 Buick Fact Sheet](https://over-drive-magazine.com/2026/07/23/1958-buick-fact-sheet/) _2026-07-23 · Bob Gerometta · Over-Drive Magazine_ A bulky, more heavily chromed styling adorned the 1958 models. For the first time since 1948, there were no distinguishing Ventiports on Buick front fenders. The “Limited” was set above the Roadmaster, as a gap-bridging Series between Buick and Cadillac.

By the middle of the decade its days were numbered and after the 1976 model year it would be replaced in the lineup by the Plymouth Volaré coupe. (The two cars shared space on dealer lots for… ## [1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4](https://carsgoneby.blogspot.com/2026/07/1994-mitsubishi-3000gt-vr4.html) _2026-07-22 · Tam · Cars Gone By_ After its launch as a 1991 model, the Mitsubishi 3000GT received a serious makeover for '94. Gone were the popup headlights and separate caps over the strut towers that distinguished the previous version , giving a smoother, more up-to-date appearance to the coupe's snout. Likewise gone were the quadruple strakes that sliced up the scoops on the original's flanks. In the US market the car could be… ## [2016 Cadillac ATS-V Coupe](https://carsgoneby.blogspot.com/2026/07/2016-cadillac-ats-v-coupe.html) _2026-07-20 · Tam · Cars Gone By_ The Cimarron faceplanted and the Catera stumbled so this car could fly. With the ATS, especially in its ATS-V coupe configuration, General Motors' most bougie division finally produced a genuinely desirable sporty car in a size comparable with the more compact offerings from the high-end Euro manufacturers. Built on a shortened version of the GM Alpha platform, the ATS had a wheelbase something… ## [1957 Buick Fact Sheet](https://over-drive-magazine.com/2026/07/15/1957-buick-fact-sheet/) _2026-07-15 · Bob Gerometta · Over-Drive Magazine_ 1957 Buicks featured all-new bodywork and featured a larger 364 CID V-8.

No longer would there be two- and four-door 3-series cars. Now the 4-series would be the name for the two-doors and their four-door siblings would retain the 3-series moniker... unless they had fastback hatches in which case they were "Gran Coupes" and badged as a 4-series. BMW's naming was getting a little incoherent if you ask… ## [1963 Oldsmobile Full Size Car Fact Sheet](https://over-drive-magazine.com/2026/07/06/1963-oldsmobile-full-size-car-fact-sheet/) _2026-07-06 · Bob Gerometta · Over-Drive Magazine_ All full-sized Oldsmobiles underwent extensive body and trim revisions for 1963.

The triple carb 340 HP Sports Roadster was promoted heavily, but still sold modestly.
