1954-56 Buick: Riding High
All-new styling, hot new V-8 engines line-wide, and attractive pricing boosted Buick into third place for calendar year 1954, ousting Plymouth. But that was just the beginning-output exploded for the 1955 model year. But, as Arch Brown explains, there were problems, too.

1956-58 Lotus Eleven: Cheating the Wind
Tiny, sleek, and light, the Eleven was built for racing competition, but Lotus founder Colin Chapman also wanted to sell it as a road car. Could it possibly fill both roles? Maybe, says Graham Robson, as he tells the story of this fascinating British sports-racing car.

The 1960 Ford strutted all-new revolutionary styling: sloped, aerodynamic hood; low beltline; large glass area; flat, horizontal fins; half-moon taillights. But would Ford traditionalists accept such an alien, non-Ford look? Author Tim Howley answers the question.

1954 Hudson Italia: Too Soon, or Too Late?
Was the Italia too soon because of its modern, dramatic styling-or too late because faltering Hudson merged with Nash, killing the project? Or was it simply too expensive? Arch Brown replies. Then, on page 70, Elliott Myerson relates the saga of the Hudson X-161.
