Vintage Motorcars

The automobiles of the classic era - 1925 to 1948 - were distinguished by their graceful designs, premium craftsmanship, and unusual materials. The French Bugatti, Talbot, and Delage, the American Duesenberg and Packard, the Italian Alfa Romeo-such legendary cars brought art and simple elegance to the road.

Volkswagen

For almost three decades, Volkswagen's ride has been on a wild track of many ups and downs. In between the heyday of the Beetle's popularity in the 1960s and the unveiling of the New Beetle in the 1990s, the beloved automaker lost its focus and suffered more than its share of near misses and total catastrophes. Poor decisions and banal advertising campaigns seemed to have stalled Volkswagen's growth for good. And yet this remarkable company has found its way back to the top, with the Beetle now a reborn icon in the United States -- and the sales of Volkswagen vehicles roaring toward levels not seen for thirty years.

Volvo: Safety with Style

Volvo Cars is a Swedish automobile maker founded in 1927 in the city of Gothenburg in Sweden. Volvo was formed as a subsidiary company to the ball bearing maker SKF. It was not until 1935 when Volvo AB was introduced on the Swedish stock exchange. The Volvo brand has a reputation for comfort, solidity and longevity, but the cars are often compared with tractors, partially because Volvo Cars also make tractors, but also because the cars are considered slow and heavy. Volvo owners are often proud of achieving prodigious mileages.
