    The 1959 & 1960 batwing Impalas Proclaiming ‘Body by Fisher’ was still a big selling point in In 1959, Chevrolet advertising boasted that 1959 as far as General Motors was concerned, yet to most “Chevy’s Got a Car That Leads Your Kind of Life” buyers by then, it was just a nice emblem always placed on the and, looking at this Impala, many buyers would have threshold plate when the door was opened. In 1959 the Impala loved to have had that kind of life. With all-new body line-up included the two-door Sport Coupe, a convertible, and had styling, all-new frame, a longer 119in wheelbase, added a four-door hardtop and sedan. There was no two-door and another 2in longer in overall length, the new full- sedan or station wagon Impala. Chevrolet called its rear batwing size Chevrolet was now the longest car in its price shape a “saucy rear deck.” Although industry distinctive, the range (in 1957 it had been the shortest).

  • 1948 Hudson Cars Described

    1948 Hudson Cars Described

    1948 HUDSON CARS DESCRIBED 1948 HUDSON - GENERAL: In 1948 Hudson introduced a completely new line of cars, using what would shortly become a popular styling approach. The streamlined 1948 Hudson stood just 60 inches high, which was as much as 5 inches lower than most of its contemporaries. This dramatic new styling was the result of a group of Hudson designers under the direction of Frank Spring. Conceptually, it was based on the Czechoslovakian Tatra T87, combined with some inspiration and target being GM's 1942 fastback “sedanet,” one of the last new designs introduced before the war had curtailed automobile production. The Hudson looked like it had been “chopped” by one of the then new California custom shops. It also looked thoroughly aerodynamic, which it was, considering Hudson didn’t have a test track, much less a wind tunnel. Later wind tunnel tests conducted by Nash later found that the Hudson had almost 20% less drag than contemporary notchback sedans. Despite Hudson President's A.E. Barit’s reticence, the press and public reaction to the new Hudson was favorable, if not enthusiastic. The frame Hudson released was also new - their trademarked “monobuilt” with “step-down” interior. It had a strong semi- unit body with a perimeter frame that runs around it entirely. This requires passengers to step down into their vehicles. The design was beneficial for Hudson on multiple levels; it provided passengers with extra protection because they were surrounded completely by the frame, and it allowed for weight savings, and therefore overall money savings, as it required less metal in production.
