"At The End Of The Day, The Best Car Wins" |
|
We all love cars of such varying types, shapes and accoutrements that it's hard to generalize what makes a car appealing when new, or to predict whether it will become collectible as it ages. The North American International Auto Show is a litmus test of attitudes, of each car company's ability to achieve that hallmark of success, a production car that excites and delights and could one day be parked in a garage next to a '57 Chevy, a 1964-1/2 Mustang, or a Chrysler 300. For General Motors and Ford, the concept cars they previewed and the production models they revealed marked a recognition that fun and driving should have some relationship to each other. Chrysler thinks so too, but is still struggling to establish a sense of corporate identity under the wing of its German parent. |
