A total of 2,579 were built. The 1750 was designed both for use on motorways and minor roads by using a formula based on a combination of a low weight of 2,000 pounds (900 kg( and high performance at speeds between 80-105 mph. - [ Read more ]

Itala Car [ http://www.italacar.com ]
The Super was Fiat’s only car to have a 12-cylinder engine. The angle of the V was 60 degrees and it developed 80 bhp at 2,000 revs with a maximum speed of 75 mph. It is not certain how many of the Superfiats were built, though it maintained that three were only five. The Turin firm intended this car for the export market, as a rival to the highly esteemed Rolls-Royces and Hispano-Suizas, but the large capacity Fiat was not very successful abroad. Fiat, both then and later, was particularly connected with small capacity cars and it excelled in the design and manufacture of these cars. - [ Read more ]

Semi-elliptic suspention car [ http://www.semi-elliptic.net ]
Stellite was a short-lived company, with modest production under the shadow of Wolseley. It specialized in cheap cars, which it began making in 1913: 4-cylinder engines with wooden chassis, 2- (then 3-) speed gearbox, cone clutch, magneto ignition, shaft transmission, and removable wheels. They were 2-seaters, with top and windshield, plus acetylene lights. The model illustrated here was introduced in 1913, and stayed in production until 1915. In 1914 it cost £158. It was very like the 1922 Wolseley, which is to be explained by the fact that the two firms co-operated closely together. - [ Read more ]

Another major innovation brought about by Ford was the chain-production line. He realized that it would be much simpler, more practical, and quicker if , when assembling the vehicle, the workers could draw the various components from suitable containers placed beside the production line, rather than going to the various storerooms for them, which meant they had constantly to by moving from place to place. In this way he managed to reduce the assembly time from 12 hours to an hour and a half. - [ Read more ]

Four touring car [ http://www.fourtouringcar.com ]
With the absorption of E.M.F. in 1910 the Studebaker Corporation was formed, that being the name given to all subsequent designs. In 1914 it became a car company in the full sense, producing cars under the name Studebaker only. There were basically two models, 4- and 6-cylinders, both cheap, and thus in direct competition with the most common makes of the day. The Four Touring Car sold for $1,050.

The 170 V of 1936 was typical of the medium class. It had a tubular chassis, independent suspension and the engine had side valves. It was with the car that Mercedes restarted its business after the war even though the bombing had destroyed its factories. The 170 V gave rise to the 170 D which used a diesel engine. This replaced the 260 D of the 1930s which was the first diesel-engined car in the world. As the 170 V was rather heavy it needed a long straight in order to reach its maximum speed of 69 mph.\" />__<meta name=\"keywords\" content=\"Mercedes 770,Opel 6/16 PS,Opel P4,Wanderer 5/12 PS,Bernardi-Miari - [ Read more ]

This resulted, however, in his imprisonment in 1944 and the confiscation of the factory by the government. These two events proved too great a blow for Louis Renault who died the same year. - [ Read more ]
