5. Audi 72. The Audi 72 was something of a mish-mash of inputs from various German car makers. Its main body was a reworked version of the DKW F102, hence this car being referred to within Audi as the F103, and the engine was a Mercedes-Benz unit.

2. 1964 Honda S600. The Honda S600 was more or less the same car as the S500, though its jewel of an engine had been enlarged to 606cc. Like the S500, it was offered as a roadster, but it was also the first Honda available with a coupé body.

1. Packard Eight (1924) Packard ranked alongside the very best in the world for pre-war luxury cars. Much of this was thanks to insisting on the best components and build standards for its models, as well as the supremely refined 5.9-litre straight-eight engine that sat on rubber mounts to further isolate it from the car’s occupants.

The lap of luxury. The 1930s were strange years for the motor industry.

The CX was Citroën’s last entirely in-house creation, and that it still looks contemporary is a testament to its designer, Robert Opron, and the vision of the double-chevron marque.

2. 1960 Chevrolet Corvair. Infamous rather than famous, the Chevrolet Corvair might have been somewhat unfairly made the scapegoat for all the safety ills of the motoring sector in the 1960s, but it certainly wasn’t short of genuinely innovative engineering.

2. Junkyard Mustang is missing Bullitt (cont.) Sitting out in the sun and salty air had done the old Ford no good. Barely recognisable, it lacked an engine or transmission, and restorer Ralph Garcia almost made it over to resemble the Eleanor Mustang from Gone in 60 Seconds.. A few tell-tale signs made him pause for thought, though: reinforced strut towers and holes drilled in the body ...

4. 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air. GM called it the ‘Hot One’ in its sales literature, and with its first-time addition of rear fins, a Ferrari-inspired ‘chip-cutter’ front grille and chrome spears on its front fenders, the second-generation Chevrolet Bel Air was a radical departure from its predecessor.
