A lot of changes occurred in the automotive industry when 1960 came around.
The cars of the 1940s and 50s tended to be heavy, rounded, clunky, with slightly stodgy interiors and accessories and were ungainly monstrosities that sucked down gas like soda pop, needed constant grease, frequent oil changes and radiator refills on trips.
Don’t get me wrong I love the look and ambiance of cars from those decades but when 1960 arrived American cars turned a corner on performance, appearance, engine capabilities, interiors and styling.
My very first car was a 1963 Ford Fairlane with red bucket seats and four-on-the-floor with a straight six engine. It was built like a tank, had loads of room both in the interior and in the engine compartment making it easy to work on, even for a car novice like myself.
In McFarland & Company, Inc. Publishers’ and author J. “Kelly” Flory, Jr’s’ new book: American Cars, Every Model Year By Year 1960 To 1965, every car manufactured during during the early 1960s are spotlighted with full engines, interiors, accessories and more are examined.
Look for vehicle sizes, power trains information, modifications, extras (including their prices), cost and every conceivable types of info available for each and ever car-along with photos.
If you want to know the history of American automobiles manufactured during 1960 to 1965 this is the ultimate guide to every car made.
The book is more than a book of specs and technical mumbo jumbo it is a time capsule of one of the most important eras of automobile manufacturing.
Proverbs 23:18 - For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
