RIP American Motors: 1954-87

RIP American Motors: 1954-87 In the early 1900s, the automobile industry continued to evolve. Independent automobile manufacturers such as Auburn, Hudson, Nash and Steinbaker are offering services to markets that focus on small car drivers, not "major three" manufacturers. Covers: Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. Many of these independent car makers saw them on the last days of the Depression. Only a few remained after the end of the Second World War. The American car company was formed by the merger of two independent companies, Nash and Hudson.

In the past 10 years many small and medium manufacturers could not compete with Big Three whether it was bankrupt or merger. In 1954 when an American car company was founded, Hudson merged with Nash - Kelvinator, worth nearly $ 200 million, and it was the largest company merger in American history. There was a controversy about the exact beginning, but the era of the Muscle Car entered the 1950s. Oldsmobile rocket 88 in 1949 was made in response to the public's interest in speed and power, and is often considered the first muscle car. It features the first high compression overhead valve V8 in the US, equipped with a smaller, lighter Oldsmobile 76 / Chevrolet body for a 6 cylinder engine

American manufacturers quickly responded to the emergence of European sports cars on the American coast. In 1953, General Motors announced the Corvette. The Ford Motor Company responded with more luxurious Thunderbirds in 1954, but Ford changed eventually "T-bird" into four. Therefore, before Chrysler announced Dodge V Snake in 1992, the Corvette was still the only real sports car made in the United States. Since 2000, some automakers have manufactured automobiles that greatly improve engine output. This increase makes the sports car more dangerous and difficult to control. Fortunately, advanced stability control systems are also becoming common. The Audi R8 is a typical example of modern sports car with all wheel drive and all aluminum construction.

Kaiser Darrin, also known as Kaiser Darrin 161 or Darrin for short, is an American sports car designed by Howard "Dutch" Darrin manufactured by Kaiser Motors for the 1954 model. Kaiser darling is basically a Caesar Henry J compact car, one of the final outcomes of the designer, and the first American car with a glass fiber body to slide the door to the windshield fender well. The name of the car comes from the head of Kaiser Motors, Henry J. Keizer and darling.
