Diego’s AutoHunter Picks | ClassicCars.com Magazine

ever watched a movie twin? This is the story of two long-lost brothers who appear to be from two different parents. That’s it for this week’s Friday AutoHunter Picks, as we have two pairs to choose from: a set of 1941s and a set of Corvettes.

While each pair bears little resemblance to the other, there is definitely a connection between the two, albeit in different ways. Which one do you dig the most?

1941 Lincoln Continental
This was one of my big fiends as a kid and is a premier collector’s item of the factory custom type. The cars of the 1940-41 era were beautiful and majestic in appearance, while the post-war cars were flashy and lacked the elegance of the pre-war Continentals. As with the 1955-57 Thunderbird, the pecking order of some classics changed, and this Lincoln was one of the cars that saw the rise of others.

This 1941 Lincoln Continental was powered by the last V12 engine ever produced in the United States. The black accents paired with the red interior and tan top are a fantastic color combination. Features like the factory AM radio and fog lights hint that this Lincoln is far from a modest car. If you’re wondering where the term “continental kit” comes from, just look to its rump.

1941 Chrysler Royal Sedan
Know why most American cars from 1941 look so good? This rings especially true considering that the 1942-48 Chrysler cars came across as bloated, bloated more than other brands of the era. Buyers could choose between a flat-six or an inline eight, hinting at Chrysler’s place in the automotive hierarchy, from the upper reaches of the middle class to the luxurious world of the Empire State.

This 1941 Chrysler Royal is a four-door sedan, an adjective that can conjure up images of boring cars, but this one looks like it exudes authority. Although ranked lower in the 6, this Royal still offers features you wouldn’t normally find on a typical Plymouth, including a semi-automatic Simplimatic transmission with fluid actuation, burlwood trim, and a rear-seat sofa with ashtray , the same is true)! ).

2013 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible
What happens when you want a Z06 but also want a convertible? After careful consideration, Chevrolet launched the 427 Convertible Collector’s Edition in 2013. Not only did it give fans a much-needed dose of hybrid performance in the Vette, but it was also the last C6 and No. 60th Corvette anniversary. Only 2,552 were built.

This 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible has only 12,013 miles on it and I’d like to add more. Of course, it comes with a six-speed manual transmission and a 505-horsepower small-block and all those bells and whistles, capable of hitting 60 horsepower in 3.8 seconds. All this performance packed into a car with an analog dashboard? Sign me up!

1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sport Coupe
It would be difficult not to include C2 in AutoHunter’s selection. There’s something to love in all its versions, especially the sports coupe. The proportions are spot-on, the performance is world-class, the trim levels are Goldilocks spec (“just right”), and most are built with performance-oriented four-speed manual transmissions. shortcoming? Early engines had only 250 horsepower.

But don’t let that stop the party, because this 1963 Corvette Sport Coupe has everything else going for it, like a classic mink white accent, red interior, and Torq Thrusts. So maybe 250 horsepower doesn’t sound like much, but it also makes this coupe less expensive than some of the crazy models that exist in the Corvette world. One idea: Buy vintage engine parts to make it a day-two car.
