AJ’s Car (Or in this case, truck ) of the Day: 1957 Ford F100 Pick-Up

AJ’s Car (Or in this case, truck ) of the Day: 1957 Ford F100 Pick-Up

Car (Or in this case, truck ): Ford F100 Pick-Up

Year: 1957

What makes it special: Ford’s third generation of the F-Series for the 1956 through 1960 model years. The front bodywork was widened in order to integrate both the cab and front fenders together. They also integrated the hood into the bodywork in a clamshell design. The optional chrome grille was now even more prominent than previous years. Two sets of rear beds were available, with a flareside or styleside.

What made it famous: In May of ’57,Ford stopped building trucks at their Highland Park Plant. All light and medium trucks were transferred to ten other plants in the U.S. Overhead-Valve inline-6’s and V8’s like the 171hp, 272 V8 were the same engines used in passenger cars for that time period. A floor-shifted 4-speed manual was available.

Why I would want one: Love the integrated fender/cab look, love the large chrome grill. Very stylish.

Fun fact: This was also the last generation for the Ford Panel Van, which would not return again until the E-Series introduction in 1968.

AJ’s “Badass Friday” Car of the Day: 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda Coupe

AJ’s “Badass Friday” Car of the Day: 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda Coupe

Car: Plymouth ‘Cuda Coupe

Year: 1971

What makes it special: The Plymouth Barracuda model finally shook off its “economy car” stigma beginning with the 1970 model year. It’s original fastback design was replaced by coupe and convertible body styles. It’s E-Body was also shared with Dodge’s Challenger model, although no sheet metal was shared between the two. Three versions were available for 1970 & 1971, consisting of the base model, the luxury Gran Coupe and the ‘Cuda sport model.

What made it famous: Standard for the ‘Cuda was the 335hp, 383 cu in V8, but it also had options like the 440 cu in Super Commando and the 440 cu in, six-barrel Super Commando Six Pak, and the famed 425hp, 426 Hemi V8. The 440 and Hemi equipped ‘Cuda’s were given upgraded suspension and structural reinforcing to help transfer all that power to the road. The engine bay was now larger than the previous year A-Body, to accommodate the larger powerplants like the 440 and 426 V8’s The 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda was given one-year only dual headlights and as well and fender fins.

Why I would want one: The ‘Cuda and its sister Challenger model were the Pony Car offerings for Plymouth and Dodge, and given the amount of V8 power available for each, these were pretty potent Ponies.

Fun fact: The high-performance models were marketed as ‘Cuda deriving from the 1969 option.

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass Coupe

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass Coupe

Car: Oldsmobile Cutlass Coupe
Year: 1968
What makes it special: The Cutlass model was produced by the Oldsmobile division of General Motors for the 1961 through 1999 model years, beginning as Oldsmobile’s unibody compact model, but having it’s greatest success as a body-on-frame intermediate model. It was the top trim level for the F85 line before becoming its own series, then spawning off many variants, including the famed 4-4-2 muscle car in 1964, the premium Cutlass Supreme and the all-out performance Hurst/Olds and the beloved Vista Cruiser Station Wagon in 1968.
What made it famous: The 1968 model year saw a complete and major restyle for the Oldsmobile Cutlass model, in accordance with GM’s restyle to the A-Body cars. It received a new 112 two door and 116 four door wheelbase. The two door F85 and Cutlass now had a semi-fastback roofline. The F85 remained the base model, and the Cutlass S, Cutlass Supreme and 4-4-2 were now a distinct model as opposed to an option package. The Cutlass and Vista Cruiser station wagons were redesigned; the F-85 wagon was discontinued. Engine options were similar to the previous year, although the Cutlass’s V8 option was expanded to 350 cu in, still with both 2- and 4-barrel carbs. The optional 2-speed Jetaway and 3-speed Turbo Hydra-matic automatic transmissions were now discontinued.
Why I would want one: The 1968 to me was the best looking year of the now coke-bottle styled Cutlass.
Fun fact: 1968 also saw the addition of a  limited-production model called the Hurst/Olds, a special 4-4-2 marketed by Oldsmobile and Hurst Performance. The H/O combined the 4-4-2 suspension package with a 455 cu in Rocket V8, not ordinarily offered in Cutlasses because of a GM policy limiting intermediates to engines of 400 cu in or less
