Magazine Cover: FART

Yep, that's kind of funny. Fart, though, means speed in Swedish. This is a motor magazine from 1963 and the cover shows a Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray, '63 in front of a Pan Am Boeing and of course in the car a couple of happy stewardesses.

The cover and the info came from motorman GrandPrix63! Pay him a visit.

Vintage Cars: Volvo P1900


One more P1900 image at Phil Seed's Virtual Cars Museum

Have you ever heard of or seen the Volvo P1900 model? I hadn't. Well, I know practically nothing of cars so that's no surprise really. Learning that only 68 cars of that model were made (1956-1957) of course makes it even less surprising. Read more about it: "I thought it would fall apart!"
