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 ContinentalThis 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…

Diego’s AutoHunter Picks
A little ashamed I realized that this week's AutoHunter picks are two of the most popular brands in the world: Chevrolet and Volkswagen. Both brands were born during the glory days of the mid-1950s, when America seemed unimpeachable. And, I don't think you can go wrong with any of these. Prefer a Corvette? We have two, both new and old. Need practicality? The Chevy truck below shows off the talents of Harley Earl's team, with a bed in the back. And a German van that looks like grandma lives in it and never had an interior designer come to her house. Which one do you prefer? 1971 Chevrolet Corvette LS5 454When I was still learning about cars, low-compression 1971s were looked down upon. Some cars, like Pontiac's 455 HO, later became famous for beating heavy machinery, but it took a while for other low-compression performance cars to catch up.
