1932 Miller FWD Special
Compact, densely engineered and years ahead of its contemporaries, the Miller FWD Special featured full four-wheel drive and independent suspension, powered initially by Miller’s proven 308-ci, four-cam V8. The chassis had been laid out with characteristic foresight to accept either the V8 or Miller’s forthcoming 255-ci 4-cylinder engine, though the latter was not ready in…

Pocket Exotic
When the Alfa Romeo 4C arrived in the U.S. for 2015, the brand skipped the soft reentry. Instead of a sensible sport sedan (which would come later), it brought a mid-engine coupe with manual steering and minimal sound deadening. It was a bold, slightly defiant move — and one that immediately set the 4C apart.…

1912 Bedelia BD2 10CV
It is said that Bedelia cars originated when two impecunious students, Robert Bourbeau and Henri Devaux, crashed a motorcycle and could not afford to replace it. Instead, they built the remains into a two-seat tandem car, with steering operated from the rear seat and a belt drive running from the front-mounted engine to the rear…

The story of Lancia’s most celebrated post-war sports car begins at the 1970 Torino Motor Show, where Carrozzeria Bertone stunned audiences with the radical Stratos Zero concept. Its dramatic wedge profile, futuristic front-hinged canopy and mid-mounted Fulvia engine were unlike anything then on the road. The striking prototype immediately caught the attention of Lancia director…
