Американские автомобили: самые большие послевоенные модели

Автомобильная промышленность США развивалась по своему особому пути. В то время как Европе или в Японии были в ходу, компактные малолитражки, в Америке строили все более крупные и мощные автомобили, а 70-е стали апогеем этой гигантомании.

Итак, для того чтобы понять, насколько большие автомобили делали в то время, обратимся к нехитрому сравнению. Возьмем современный Lincoln Continental 2020 года, который производитель гордо именует, как полноразмерный люксовый седан. Его длина составляет 5116 мм, а ширина 1913 мм, весьма не мало по современным меркам. В противники ему выберем Dodge Aspen 1976 года, длиной в 5110 мм и шириной 1862 мм. Размеры сопоставим, вот только Aspen обозначался производителем как четырехдверный седан компактного класса! Вот такие вот метаморфозы прошли почти за 50 лет. Но как же выглядели настоящие гиганты?

Самые большие американские автомобили

Imperial

Imperial

Американские автопроизводители в начале 70-х считали, что чем роскошнее автомобиль тем он больше. Убедиться в этом утверждении можно легко, если взглянуть на Chrysler Imperial 1973 года, точнее на просто Imperial (в то время это была отдельная марка). Длина его составляет 5977 мм, а ширина 2022 мм. Это самый большой послевоенный легковой автомобиль, произведенный в США (не учитывая лимузинов и прочих мелкосерийных автомобилей). Также впечатляла и масса, Империал весил 2384 кг. Чтобы хоть как то передвигать такую тушу, понадобился могучий 7,2-литровый V8. Его средний расход в 24 литра на 100 км введет в ужас любого эколога наших дней, но в 70-х это было вполне нормально.

Выпускался Imperial совсем не долго, в 1974 году марка потеряла самостоятельность и вернулась в модельный ряд Chrysler.

Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham

Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham

Еще одним представителем автомобилей класса люкс был Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. Для людей которые стремились поддержать свой статус, Cadillac всегда был хорошим выбором. Но Fleetwood Brougham образца 1974 года был особенным. Длина его составляла 5936 мм, а под капотом трудился, 8,2-литровый двигатель!

Самый большой Cadillac наших дней – Escalade, по сравнению с предком, довольствуется скромным 6,2-литровым двигателем и кузовом длиной 5144 мм.

Buick Electra

Buick Electra

Если не хватило денег на Cadillac, то нужно покупать Buick, такой нехитрой логикой руководствовались американцы в 1970-е. Тем более, что Buick Electra образца 1975 года по размерам незначительно уступал Fleetwood (всего лишь на 8 мм короче и на 2 мм уже). Конечно Buick немного схитрил, ведь колесная база Electra составляла 127 дюймов, против 133 у флагмана GM. Но попкупатли могли рассчитывать на вполне серьезный уровень оснащения. К примеру на двигатель объемом 7,5 литра мощностью 205 л.с.

Как бы то ни было, Electra стал самым большим автомобилем марки в истории, таковым и останется.

Американские автомобили – прерванный полет

Не известно до какого бы предела и дальше росли размеры американских автомобилей, но в 1973 году в следствие нефтяного кризиса, цены на топливо значительно возросли, и потребителям пришлось поубавить свои аппетиты. Конечно по инерции, автопроизводители еще выпускали большеразмерные машины, но спрос на них стремительно снижался.

Американские автомобили 70-х вошли в историю как огромные, прожорливые, но по своему красивые машины.

change, Russia beat the US into outer space, Elvis hits the UK, the Beatles hit world big time. All From the sixties 90015 In 1960 Chevrolet introduced the XP700 Corvette experimental car. The 1962 90016 Corvette 90017 was a high performance car, with a powerful V8 engine (which was optional), some of them were further equipped with fuel injection and aluminum cylinder heads.90015 This was a fast car by the standards of its time.The Corvette was an eye-opening American car for its time. The 1960 Chevrolet 90016 Corvair 90017 500 Deluxe came with a Basic Corvair Engine 139.6 cid, horizontally opposed six, 80hp @ 4400 RPM, one-barrel carburetor. A three-speed manual transmission was standard, heater, padded dash, and manual radio. 90015 The 90016 Chevrolet Camero 90017 was introduced in the North America in тисячі дев’ятсот шістьдесят сім this was General Motors competition for the Ford Mustang.Although it was classed as a compact car (by the standards of its time) the Camero like the mustang was classified as an intermediate sports car, or muscle car. 90015 One of the 1960s Super cars was the Lotus Elan with a compact fiberglass-body, drop-head, two-seater, powered by various versions of the Ford-based Lotus twin cam engine. The car was first shown at the London Motor Show late in 1962 but did not reach production until 1963. Functional in design and layout, Lotus Elan combines simplicity, with leech like road holding, and a willing (if occasionally unreliable) twin — cam engine.90015 Born in 1968 the Morgan Plus 8, used the sliding pillar type of independent suspension with which every Morgan had been fitted, since the first tricycle had taken to the road in 1910. 90015 The Ford motor company totally redesigned their 1960s models from the ground up. They shared nothing with the previous models except engines and drivelines. The 1960s styles were considered controversial by many, it still is one of the smoothest designs ever to come from the Dearborn drawing board.The new models were longer, lower and wider then previous models. All 1960s Fords featured a single chrome strip from the top of the front bumper, sweeping up to the top of the front fender, then back, horizontally along the beltline to the back of the car. There it turned inward and capped a small horizontal fin. Large semi-circular taillights were housed in an aluminum escutcheon panel below the fins and a directly above a large a large chrome bumper. The 90016 Fairlane 90017 series contained the word Ford spaced along the rear quarter panel for trim.The Fairlane script was on the sided of the front fenders. The 90016 Galaxie 90017 series used a Ford crest in script, on the deck lid and on the front fenders. A single strip began along the center of the front door and continued back to the taillights on the side with ribbed aluminum stone shield behind the rear wheel opening. The Falcon was first introduced during this time, this was Fords entrance into the compact car race. The 90016 Falcon 90017 was an uncomplicated little car that was available in two-door or four-door sedans, and station wagons.The styling left little doubt that they were Ford products, but was remarkably simple and attractive. In 1965 Ford lineup represented five full car lines with 44 models-the widest choice of models in Ford ‘s division’s history. 90015 Chrysler was making it’s own history in 1968 the Chrysler 90016 New Yorker 90017 took first place in it’s class, in the Mobil Economy run from Los Angeles to Indianapolis. 90015 In тисяча дев’ятсот шістьдесят дев’ять the average new car 3,400 dollars, and a gallon of gas cost 35. cent.90015 90247 Below is a list of common manufacturers and models made and sold in the 1960’s 90248 90116 Alfa Romeo 1750 Boat tail Spider 90015 Austin Mini 7 Mini 850 Mini Countryman Estate Mini Cooper ‘S’ 1300 90015 Austin 1800 Healey Frogeye Sprite Healey 3000 Mk1 Healey 3000 MKII Healey 3000 MKIII 90015 Buick Electra Riviera Skylark 90015 Cadillac Eldorado Fleetwood Six De Ville 90015 Chevrolet Nova Bel Air Impala Corvair Corvette 90015 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Caprice Camero SS Corvette Stingray 90015 Chrysler Imperial Newport Dodge Coronet Super Bee Charger Mopar Dart 170 90015 Fiat 500 Dino 90015 Ford Cortina MK 1 Popular Falcon Consul Zephyr MKII 90015 Ford Popular 100E Anglia 105E Torino Fastback Thunderbird Mustang 90015 Ford Fairlane F-100 F-250 Capri Galaxie 90015 Hillman Imp Minx 90015 Humber Hawk Sceptre Super Snipe 90015 Jaguar E Type MK11 S Type 420 90015 Mercedes 190 220 230 250 280 90015 Mercury Comet Calienta 90015 MG MGA MGB MGB GT Midget MGC 90015 Morris Mini Oxford Mini Traveller Minor Traveller Oxford Farina 90015 Oldsmobile 442 Cutlass Plymouth Valiant Barracuda 90015 Pontiac Tempest Catalina GTO Le Mans GTO 90015 Renault 4CV Rover 3.5 Saloon 90015 Studebaker Hawk 90015 Triumph Herald TR4 TR5 TR6 2000 MK1 90015 Vauxhall Victor Cresta 90015 Volkswagen Camper Van Beetle VW Karmann Ghia 90015 Wolseley 6/80 90122 90277.90000 10 Classic American Cars You Will See on a Trip to Cuba 90001 90002 90002 The old American cars of Cuba are a marvel and a lesson in the same package | Joe Raedle / Getty Images 90004 90005 Yes, 90006 My baby’s my common sense, 90006 So do not feed me 90006 Planned obsolescence 90009 90005 — from The White Stripes ‘ «The Big Three Killed My Baby» 90009 90012 90005 Planned obsolescence never learned the Cuban way of speaking Spanish. Nearly 60 years after Fidel Castro overthrew the government and ended Cuba’s capitalist system, the epic American cars of the 1950s still roll down Havana streets.90009 90005 How is such a thing possible? Considering U.S.-sourced parts were banned from Cuba since 1959 it had to be a combination of crafty mechanics, body shop wizards, and feats of improvisation. But we’ll leave that story for another day. Here, we just want to celebrate the massive, colorful cruisers you could see on a trip to La Habana. Since many operate as taxis for tourists, anyone can get inside one for a small price. 90009 90005 Here are 10 classic American cars you should not miss on a trip to Cuba.Note: Because the grilles and other details changed over the course of 60 years, take the calls on make and model year as our best guess. 90009 90019 1. Buick Roadmaster 90020 90021 90021 Several Buick models, including Super and Roadmaster, were popular in Cuba before the revolution | Gabriel Bouys / AFP / Getty Images 90005 Many 1950s Buicks still patrol Havana, with Super, Special, and Roadmaster leading the pack. The pictured model, a Roadmaster most likely manufactured for the 1953 model year, maintained its gorgeous exterior over five decades into its life.There is no telling what it looks like under the hood, but as of 2004 the body was in excellent shape. 90009 90019 2. Ford Fairlane 90020 90027 90027 This 1957 Ford Fairlane convertible shuttles tourists around the island | Yamil Lage / AFP / Getty Images 90005 Ford Fairlanes from the mid-1950s are quite common in Cuba. This model, which is pegged as a 1957 sported many of the original details when the photo was taken in 2014. You’ll also see many models from 1956 as well as Customline, Sunliner, and Crown Victoria from the mid ’50s in Havana .90009 90019 3. Chevrolet Deluxe 90020 90033 90033 Men fish at Havana’s Malecon a day before Pope Francis ‘arrival in Cuba on September 18, 2015 | Filippo Monteforte / AFP / Getty Images 90005 Classic Chevys rule in Havana to this day. Tourists can ride in an Impala, a 210, a Bel Air, or a Deluxe like the one pictured. This model appears to be a 1952 (possibly 1954) that lost some of the original chrome from the back wheel and the section behind the front wheel. As of 2015 року, this car still ran tourists around the city, marking its sixth decade in operation.90009 90019 4. Cadillac Eldorado 90020 90039 90039 Many 1950s Cadillac convertibles shuttle tourists around Havana | YAMIL LAGE / AFP / Getty Images 90005 Cadillacs from the 1950s remain a symbol of excess, and they do not get much more excessive than a late ’50s Eldorado with fins in hot pink. Three people can stretch their legs out, punch their lunch on the counter, and throw down backpacks in the back seat of this ride. If you did nothing else in Cuba, riding around old Havana in one of these would be worth the trip.90009 90019 5. Ford Edsel 90020 90045 90045 A Cuban just married couple in a Ford Edsel 58 | Luis Acosta / AFP / Getty Images 90005 While the Ford Edsel is considered one of the great automotive flops of all time, the convertibles you see in Havana certainly look impressive six decades later. Edsel survived only three model years (1958-60), but this red ’58 Pacer remained in excellent condition for its 50th anniversary year (2008). We can think of worse cars to get us to the church on time. 90009 90019 6.Chevrolet Bel Air 90020 90051 90051 Among all the classic cars of Cuba, the Chevrolet Bel Air may be the most common | Filippo Monteforte / AFP / Getty Images 90005 You will not hunt forever if you want to ride in a classic Chevy Bel Air. This pink convertible model, which we believe is a 1953 lost some chrome details from the back wheel but otherwise remained in great shape when the photo was snapped in 2015. 90009 90019 7. Mercury Monterrey 90020 90057 90057 Mercury Monterey Adalberto Roque / AFP / Getty Images 90005 The Mercury Monterey debuted in the U.S. for the 1952 model year, and that premiere edition made its way to Havana. When the photojournalist filed this shot in 2013, at least one original Monterey convertible still made the rounds as a taxi for tourists. 90009 90019 8.
