Hello everybody,
i'am student at the University of St.Gallen in Switzerland and am currently writing my master thesis about design classics cars. I choosed to analyse the period of the mid 50's till the mid 60's. I'have already identified a (small)list of cars which i want to analyse ... but i need more of them. It would help me a lot if you can give me name of cars which have been produced in this period and that you cnsider of interest. In order to have a great diversity of designs I don't need necessarily classics, but also cars which have been forgotten or which where not a commercial sucess. The focus of the paper is about normal cars, i mean no super-cars which where produced only 3 or 4 times ...
thank you in advance for your answers
Hi Ford Anglia with its steep rear window.. Renault 4 and of course the citroen DS.. |

Surprised that no-one's mentioned the '61 Continental yet. Also the Lotus Elan, in case you're wondering where the Mazda MX-5 came from.

Packard most definitely deserve a place in auto exducation. The Rolls-Royce of america with thier V16 'double eight' engines. Hispano Suiza's, Deusenberg and the lot that died from thier dreams. One that really stand out for american innovation is Tucker.  |
