dalemiller+FollowHow a Napkin Sketch Changed SupercarsImagine sketching an engine on a bullet train napkin and ending up with the Bugatti Veyron—the world’s most legendary supercar. That’s exactly what Ferdinand Piëch did! His wild idea for an 18-cylinder beast led to Bugatti’s rebirth and the creation of a car that smashed speed records. All because his son wanted a toy car and he had a moment of inspiration on vacation. Proof that genius can strike anywhere—even between Tokyo and Nagoya! #Bugatti #Supercars #CarHistory #Innovation #Veyron #Cars100Share
patrick16+FollowGuess Which Mercedes-Benz Was the Bestseller❓Everyone knows Mercedes is luxury, but I guess not so many people know that their all-time bestseller is actually the old W123 (1976-1985). Not the GLE (current US favorite) or even the C-Class (over 9 million sold). These tanks were small by today's standards - shorter than a Civic! - but packed luxury features for their time. A base model would've cost about $64k in today's money. The real kicker is their insane durability. One Spanish taxi hit 4.35 million miles! With 2.7 million sold, the W123 remains unbeaten - pretty cool when you see today's high-tech SUVs selling so well. #MercedesBenz #W123 #ClassicCars #CarFacts #Bestseller #CarHistory #Cars 31Share
William Goodwin+FollowHow Pickup Trucks Got Their NameEver thought about why we call them 'pickup trucks'? Turns out, it all started with Henry Ford back in 1925. He loved the utility of his Model T with a cargo box so much, he made it official and sold the first factory-made 'pickup.' Fast forward to today, pickups are everywhere—no longer just for farmers, but for anyone who wants power, style, and serious hauling skills. Who knew the name came from such humble beginnings? #Cars #PickupTrucks #CarHistory150Share
