...Chevrolet Chevelle, GM made some design changes that gave it a longer hood and shorter deck for a sleeker body. In 1969, the Chevelle was heralded as the most popular mid-sized car in American. These cars are still as popular now as they were then, and the audience is about the same; it is those who love power who still drive and restore these cars. When you restore your Chevelle, then replace worn out parts like the fan shroud. H&H Classic carries restoration parts for your Chevelle, Malibu or El Camino.

...Muscle Cars It has been said that racing began once the second car was built. NASCAR started the “race” of the American muscle car in 1947. Due to the growing interest in power and speed, General Motors introduced the 1949 Oldsmobile Rocket 88. America’s first high compression overhead-valve V8 was put into the light body of the Oldsmobile, creating the first muscle car. American’s take pride in owning the biggest, most eccentric vehicles. Due to the gas prices in other countries such as Europe and Asia, they are less likely able to afford these large, gas thirsty vehicles. Americans have been infatuated with making cars faster and even more powerful since the Rocket 88, therefore, the muscle car is a huge symbol of American culture. Muscle cars were being produced by many different manufacturers in the early 1950’s, including Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford and Pontiac. In the 1950’s bigger was considered better. These muscle cars gained weight and inches with every year that past. Gaining weight meant losing speed, the cars required larger engines, but still weren’t fast enough for the buying market. Each manufacturer had a different idea to enhance performance and boost power. Chevy only offered fuel injection, Pontiac offered fuel injection and “tri-power”, and Ford offered supercharging. Dodge went in at a different angle and offered a power up “D-500” engine for every 1956 model they had. In 1955, Chrysler C-300 AKA “America’s Most Powerful Car” became the star of NASCAR...

...A PART OF ME Hello, my project is about classic cars, and trucks restoration. This project may seem to some as a simple project to report on. If you have had the opportunity to be a part of a restoration project directly or indirectly, you may understand the passion that comes with a project like so, if you do not have the passion before the project it is likely you will develop it sometime during. I want to take this time and explain to you how easy it was for me to figure out early in life how much I love muscle cars. I really like some of the newer aero dynamic looking vehicles, but combining the new look and the old muscle car look really brought back a feeling of a personal touch “a part of me” to something special to be admired by many. There use to be a time when men and boys did things together that women and girls would not do. And there use to be a time when women and girls did things together that men and boys would not do. I remember a simple little game me and some of my friends use to play, it was called counting cars. Every time a car came by that I was passionate about I would say hot diggady dogg that’s my car. As time went by daily we would get a friendly honk from various drivers and an occasional burn out, to me and my friends this was well worth the all day waiting and waving. During the early 70’s computer games were at a early stage of development, the graphics were not at a mature stage as they are now. In this era families manufactured sources of...

...preview of their next generation car, the Camaro. There were two main reasons why General Motors came out with this car. First, General Motors was trying to create a new type of car to satisfy consumer’s desire for a strong and faster type of car. Second, it was General Motor’s way to compete with Ford’s new Mustang. When the Camaro first came out, it was classified as a compact car. However, they later changed the classification to a pony car, and it has been seen more as a touring car, sports car, or muscle car. Along with the changes in names, there have also been many changes in style, technology, features, and specifications. General Motors is now in production of their 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro. On January 6th, 2006, General Motors started brainstorming ideas and concepts for this new generation car with a new body, wheelbase, engine, transmission, suspension, and much more. After two years of designing, engineering, manufacturing, and problems, on July 21, 2008, General Motors officially unveiled the production of the 2010 5th generation Camaro. This new generation Camaro was able to enhance or surpass most, if not all, of the 4th generation’s features. Starting off with the body, the 5th generation created a slicker, more aerodynamic, and arguably a more appealing body. Then they created a 110.5 in wheelbase, which was 9 in longer than the previous generation, which gives more stability at higher speeds as well as helps the car preform higher on inclined and...

When you think about it, a bodybuilder is the perfect person to direct traffic. He's fit enough to move his arms around for hours at a time and he's big enough to be noticed by passing motorists. In the commercial I have chosen to analysis, a bodybuilder is seen in the middle of a busy city street, flexing his muscles as drivers wait for their turn to navigate the intersection. All this is done in the name of directing traffic, and the wide grin suggests that he’s more than a little excited at the opportunity to show off his hard work with each point and wave. After about twenty seconds into the commercial, two guys are standing on top of a stage on the sidewalk in view of the body builder and they start a conversation: Jimmy: “You know Ronnie, Folks who save hundreds of dollars by switching to GEICO sure are happy.” Ronnie: “And how happy are they Jimmy?” Jimmy: “I’d say happier than a body builder directing traffic.” Ronnie: “He does look happy.” At the end of the commercial, the company’s name and website are shown in the middle of the screen and the announcer says: “Get happy, Get GEICO.

...In the story written by Oates's, Arnold's character seemed to be attracted to younger girls, Connie in particular. This can be seen through Arnold's attempts in making himself look younger to impress Connie at the door. Oates describes the way Arnold was dressed in lines 50-52, as “tight faded jeans stuffed into black, scuffed boots, a belt that pulled his waist and showed how lean he was, and a white pullover shirt that was a little soiled and showed the hard small muscles of his arms and shoulders(Approaching Literature 486)." On the other hand in O’Connor’s story the Misfit seemed to target people that were going against his own godly morals. For instance, when The Misfit is chatting with the grandmother and hearing her beg for him to pray, he sees she was not the great "lady" she claims herself to be, and he sees this as a reason to kill her off. This can be seen the instant The Misfits shoots the Grandmother and then says, "She would have been a good woman if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life" (Approaching Literature 146). Giving the reader the conclusion that he might of let her live if she hadn’t of acted the way she...
