70's square body Ford products just absolutely had the look. This is killer.

I love those...I think Ford had great looking trucks through the 80s and 90s (before 1997). 1986 and 1996:

Industry's first composite plastic automotive grille, '66 Pontiac ~

Today's funny... This car just has the look. I could spend all day looking at this. This is cruel but funny, actually.

Neat retro paint job. Not sure if I like it or not, but it is creative. Same guy, then and now. Ohio Jeep Association. Another Bronco picture...

Let's do Teal Tuesday, I posted the Road Runner, will end with this Cadillac.

Ford today previewed the future of auto restoration at the 2021 SEMA show with the official reveal of the Eluminator F-100 AWD electric pickup truck. This truck demonstrates the power of Ford Performance e-crate motors that customers can buy and use to go emission free with zero tailpipes. This 1978 Ford F-100 pickup features the 2021 Mustange Mach-E GT Performance Powertrain. Two electric motors drive the front and rear wheels with a combined 480 HP / 634 lb-ft of torque as limited by the controller for this installation. This is the first e-crate motor from Ford Performance Parts with much more to come. SEMA 2021 - Ford Performance Parts ELUMINATOR MACH E ELECTRIC MOTOR| Part Details for M-9000-MACHE | Ford Performance Parts The Ford Performance e-crate motor (Part # M-90000-MACH-E) is available now at $3,900 each. As part of a $50 billion global market annually, Ford looks to cash in on the performance crowd supplying e-crate motors, controllers, and so much more for your restoration to the electric world. Each motor is sold producing 281 HP / 317 lb-ft of torque by default and can be customized per installation/personalized. To quote Ford press Release: The all-electric F-100 Eluminator concept, designed and created by Ford Performance, was built in collaboration with MLe Racecars and sits on a custom chassis by the Roadster Shop. It’s painted in Avalanche Gray with Cerakote Copper accents applied by Brand X Customs, while the interior features a billet aluminum dash by JJR Fabrication and avocado-tanned leather upholstery by MDM Upholstery. It’s fitted with custom 19x10-inch billet aluminum three-piece wheels by Forgeline wrapped in Michelin® Latitude® Sport 275/45-19 high-performance tires. Over time, Ford Performance plans to develop a wide list of components based on the Eluminator powertrain in conjunction with industry leading performance manufactures, including battery systems, controllers, traction inverters and more as Ford closes the loop on full turnkey electrification solutions. This seems to be a focus much like GM's Connect & Cruise powertrain systems of which GM has committed to also having e-crate solutions available in the future. Chevrolet and GM Performance Parts for your Hot Rod, Car, or Truck (gmperformancemotor.com) Ford is very excited about the future and had many other electric turn key solutions being shown off at SEMA 2021 including their 1,400 HP Mustang Mach-E which they believe will hit 200 MPH at Bonneville Speed Week Summer of 2022. QUOTE: “The fact is, electric performance is fun, and as the industry moves toward electric vehicles, motorsports and the performance aftermarket will too,” said Mark Rushbrook, global director of Ford Performance. “Just as Ford is committed to leading the electric revolution on the product side, Ford Performance is equally committed to winning on the performance and motorsports front.” This past weekend, Ford’s Mustang Cobra Jet 1400, an electric-powered exhibition dragster prepared by Ford Performance and MLe Racecars, demonstrated its quickness at the NHRA Nationals in Las Vegas.

^ Not off-hand. '20s aren't my forte'. If more was seen, I could likely ID it. It's not a major U.S. brand, tho there were so many '2nd tier' brands then, it'd be a challenge to ID it.

Retro Green and brown show exceptionally well on both of those...one more random vintage Ford truck picture.

50 plus years later, the mid sixties Pontiacs still take my breath away. Partial to the GTO, but would love a full size. This GP is amazing. Cool vintage pic for you as a thanks for posting this up. Lots of Osha violations there, wonder if that dude ever went blind from lack of eye protection.

I never had an issue with the Zeta Camaro. I loved all three (almost) equally. I started thinking the Camaro was too big and heavy towards the end of the Zeta generation. And by that time, I wanted the Camaro to start a new design language. When the Alpha Camaro came out, I was disappointed with its looks as Chevy didnt make it look significantly different from the Zeta. There are several things that bother(ed) me about the Camaro. 1. For far too long, it has looked the same. It doesnt have that Challenger mystique about it (Hellcat/Demon) to get away from the stale, long in the tooth styling. 2. The Zeta Camaro was big and heavy. 1st gen Camaros (1969) were small and nimble. The year the Zeta and Alpha Camaros are supposedly inspired from. The Alpha Camaro makes a perfect retro for the 1969. The Zeta, not so much. So that bothered me towards the end of the Zeta run. The Challenger historically was always a tad bigger than the Camaro and Mustang. Just a tad smaller than mid-size. This is why I like the Challenger over the Zeta Camaro. Chrysler nailed it. As has Ford... 3. I should have loved the Alpha Camaro sooner as that is the perfect size for a 1969 retro Camaro. But repeating myself, Chevy needed to change up the styling. Ford did. The 2005 doesnt look at all like this gen, and both generations have the 1st generation as inspiration and look like the 1st gen Mustang yet both latest generations of Mustangs look nothing alike. 4. The Challenger punched through with a 707 HP beast of an engine and a very cool name. Hellcat. They doubledowned with an 800 plus HP version with an even cooler name. Demon to start a war not only in the pony car market, but with the entire automotive world touching not only expensive exotics, but with the elctric car revolution... 5. Chevy was but a follower... 6. But, like you said @Robert Hall The Alpha Camaro is a stunningly good looking vehicle. A GREAT performance sports car. Rivaling and BEATING German sports cars no matter what the price range is of those German sports cars. I took my hater glasses off as I too, realized that the Camaro's days are numbered. If the nameplate will live on, it will be an electric vehicle, and a CUV at that kinda like the Mache E. At least Ford will continue on with the Mustang as an EV coupe... I dont think Chevy will do the same.... And yes, me too, would want one sooner than later. As of now, sure I prefer the Challenger, but Id take any of of them. With a V8 of course.

Wild! :

That is amazing to see that kind of power out of an NA engine..and so ordinary looking, looks like an old time hot rodder muscle car engine. A 1/25th scale version for model cars is already out, may have to get one to put in an AMT '70 Camaro or Chevelle.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/393657722118?hash=item5ba7d42506:g:XDkAAOSwfBRhfFRB
