American Version Of The Bentley Flying Spur.
The Ford 427 concept is a modern, all-American sedan inspired by the exuberance of the companyÌs landmark sedans of the 1960s, replete with the uncompromising, 590-horsepower engine that inspired its name. The wheels feature an iconic five-spoke wedge-shaped configuration wrapped with 19-inch rubber. The nomenclature is a modern rendition of the 427 logo that saw use on the Galaxie 500 XL 427. When all of these elements are combined, they cast a silhouette that is unquestionably Ford and unabashedly American.

Future Auction Block Money Makers
At the 1955 Geneva Motorshow Fiat introduced a convertible based on the new 1100 Saloon. Pinin Farina was responsible for the body design of Fiat's first post-War convertible. Its design resembled that of the Lancia Aurelia Spider and like the Lancia featured a wrap-around windscreen. In 1959 a revised model was launched, which featured a restyled body, but continued to use many of the parts already found on the 1100 Spider.
Dubbed 1500 Cabriolet, the new convertible was again bodied by Pinin Farina. This time the design reminded of the Ferrari 250 GT convertible models. In a search for more power, Fiat approached Italian racing car manufacturer OSCA to supply engines for the convertible. OSCA's DOHC 1.5 litre four cylinder engine perfectly fitted in the engine bay of the Fiat. The OSCA powered Fiat was named 1500S.
A larger 1.6 litre '1600S' version made its debut in 1962. With 90 bhp on the tap, the 1600S proved to quite a performer, both on the road and on the track. Almost all OSCA Fiats were fitted with Pinin Farina designed coupe or cabriolet bodies, with the featured model being a rare exception. In an unrestored state by Christie's in the Paleis 't Loo Concours d'Elegance, where one failed to meet the reserve. The estimated price was $19,000 to $23,000.

Automotive History.
Cars in the new millennium have been a fine balance between nostalgic history and forward-looking technology. Companies like Toyota and Honda have turned years of electric/gasoline hybrid R&D into extremely popular and fuel-efficient automobiles. Technology has also made high-performance all-wheel-drive turbocharged cars like the Audi TT, Subaru WRX and the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO a hit in America. Meanwhile, domestics are revisiting their roots with classic design cues in cars like the Ford Mustang and Dodge Charger.
