ksanchez+FollowCar Features We’re Glad Are GoneEver miss automatic seat belts or car phones? Didn’t think so! From awkward bench seats to those weird pop-up headlights, some car features quietly vanished—and honestly, we’re better off. Manual window cranks, tape decks, and hidden gas caps? Nope, not nostalgic for those either. Turns out, not every blast from the past deserves a comeback. Which of these would you actually want back? #Cars #CarOwnership #CarHistory2426Share
Leah Pierce+FollowWhy the Oldsmobile 88 Was a Game-ChangerEver wondered what the '88' on the Oldsmobile 88 actually meant? It was all about the car’s size and its V8 engine—making it a total powerhouse when it launched in 1949. This ride wasn’t just for cruising; it dominated early NASCAR and even won the first Carrera Panamericana. With its Rocket V8, the 88 was basically one of the OG muscle cars, and it stuck around for 10 generations! Car nerds, this one’s for you. #Cars #Oldsmobile88 #CarHistory261Share
Lisa Guerrero PhD+FollowWhy 1948 Wagons Still Outshine SUVsThe 1948 Plymouth P15 Suburban was basically the OG family hauler—no fake wood, no touchscreen drama, just pure steel and practicality. It had a simple inline-six, a three-speed manual, and enough space for six people plus all their stuff. The best part? It was built tough, easy to fix, and didn’t need a million drive modes to get the job done. Honestly, today’s SUVs could learn a thing or two about real character from this classic. #Cars #BuyingCar #CarHistory30Share

William Goodwin+FollowThese 1930s Cars Were Total Game ChangersThe 1930s were wild for car lovers—think giant engines, art deco curves, and some seriously bold ideas. Duesenberg, Cadillac, Bugatti, and Bentley all dropped rides that were built to turn heads, not just get you from A to B. From the futuristic Cord 810 to the king-sized Bugatti Royale, these 20 classics basically invented car cool. Which one would you take for a spin? #VintageCars #ClassicCars #CarHistory #Cars360Share
Lisa Guerrero PhD+FollowThe '80 Vette’s Quiet Glow-UpThe 1980 Corvette wasn’t about showing off—it was about getting smarter. Chevy ditched the extra weight, sharpened the looks, and made the Vette more efficient to keep up with new rules and rising gas prices. Sure, horsepower took a hit, but the car still had attitude (and those classic curves). It’s the last of the old-school, carbureted Corvettes before things got high-tech. Not the flashiest year, but definitely a turning point for America’s sports car. #Corvette #CarHistory #ClassicCars #Cars21Share
William Goodwin+FollowThe Mustang That Was Too Wild for NASCARDid you know Ford once built a Mustang so insane it got banned from NASCAR?

One of the rarest Boss 429s just sold for a fortune, reminding everyone why this outlaw Mustang is pure muscle car royalty. Would you drive one if you could? #MustangBoss429 #MuscleCarLegends #CarHistory #Cars180Share
