Ford introduced their third generation Thunderbird in 1961 and were quickly given the nickname 'Bullet Bird. The cars nickname evolved from its pointed nose, a very symmetrical shape, round tail lights inspired by a jet engine, modest fins, and projectile inspired lines. The styling reflected the era in which it was hatched; the early 1960s was the Space Age and the concerns over the Cold War. This third generation bird no doubt took its creative styling cues from rocket ships and air bound projectiles. The 1961 Thunderbird was given the honor of serving as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500. Fifty Thunderbirds were used by president-elect John F. Kennedy in his inaugural procession. The public also agreed with the vehicles styling, buying over 70,000 units in its first year. This 1961 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars sale at Hershey, PA presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $30,000 $40,000. It was offered...

Feeley was responsible for the new-look T9 tourer body with its long, flowing wings, shallow cutaway door and neat disappearing hood. Understated, elegant and rakish particularly with the screen folded flat it has an imposing but reserved presence. From the closely paired Lucas P100 lamps to the boot-mounted spare, the Twas a natural evolution of the elegant six-cylinder Lagonda style from 1934 that culminated in the extravagant '37 Speed Model, another Feeley masterstroke. Road-testers begged to try the new Lagonda, but had to wait until spring the following year to get behind the broad, four-spoke wheel. Hardly any production cars in 34 could break the magic ton in this pre-streamlined age, but the Rapide lived up to its name. The Autocar described it as 'out of the ordinary', with 'wo...

Porsche Boxster is lower and longer, with wider tracks and larger wheels enhancing the driving performances. The proportions are defined by the extended wheelbase, the windscreen which is shifted forward, the shorter overhangs and 18- and 19-inch diameter wheels with larger rolling circumference. The new design elements include the sculpted flanks with the distinctive air intakes, the redesigned tail lights visually connected by the thin blade of the rear spoiler, and the front air openings, increased in size and moved towards the sides of the car.Styling is marked by precise lines and razor-sharp sculpted edges. They emphasise the car's low, extended silhouette with the windscreen shifted forward by approx. 100 millimetres and a roof line that reaches far back. Typical of the more advanced styling is the shoulder line, which runs from the wings - which flare strongly upwards towards the rear side panels. The door mirrors are now positioned near the top shoul...
