Dyslexia is a bitch lolCamaro, not Camero.
My first car was a 1968 Camaro convertible, 327 V8, four speed, chrome reverse wheels with baby moons!
Well, at least they have a history of performance and speed.
"As well as acting as an umbrella firm for its four constituent brands (Audi, Horch, DKW, Wanderer), Auto Union is widely known for its racing team (Auto Union Rennabteilung, based at Horch works in Zwickau/Saxony)"
Auto Union - Wikipedia
"The company's distinctive logo, of four interlocking rings to represent the original four members of the Auto Union, survives as the logo of Audi."
Recently started getting into 70's Datsun's... I would like one 510 and 280z, please...
I remember when the Avus came out, I couldn't decide whether I like it or not. Same thing today.
1953 'Vette. Yes, the Corvette started out in '53. Back in the day, we used to make some pretty decent cars here in the USA. What happened?
Pontiac Solice GXP Coupe. Not iconic, since most people including me probably didn't know it existed.
High Country Special Edition Mustangs
WHAT IS THE HIGH COUNTRY FORD MUSTANG?
Last Updated August 19, 2020
One of the very first of what would turn out to be many special edition Mustangs, the High Country, was first produced in 1966 and available only, as the name would imply, from dealers in the Colorado area. While initially, the differences between the High Country and the stock Mustang were largely cosmetic, in 1968 — the High Country’s last year of production — it, like the California Special, could boast the addition of front fog lights, side scoops and a Shelby-inspired rear fascia.

And its twin, the Saturn Sky. I would love to stuff a supercharged six-cylinder or a couple of turbos into one of those.
It was pretty common practice to change the jets in carbureted cars for this area...when I moved here in 1973 with my '66 GTO, a couple of people suggested I do that. If they were changed, I suspect it would have been at the dealer, not the factory...which would mean it might be an individual dealer action.
California Special Mustang
In mid-February 1968, the California Ford Dealers (Ford Dealer Advertising Fund) began to market a factory-built, limited-edition Mustang, called the GT/CS, or "California Special".
