1955 brought several notable changes for the Dodge Royal, with the Coronet becoming the lower end in the series, while the engine lineup now included a 230 (3.8-liter) six-cylinder and two V8s, namely the 270 (4.4-liter) and the 315 (5.2-liter).
If you wanted to purchase a Ford Mustang back in 1966, the first engine you could order was the 200 (3.3-liter) Thriftpower developing 120 horsepower. Ford introduced this unit in 1965 specifically to replace the 170 (2.8-liter) six-cylinder that came with the original model.
1959 was the first year when Chevrolet offered the Impala as a stand-alone model, after previously being launched as the top-of-the-line version of the Bel Air.
1965 was the year when the Impala nameplate finally earned its place in automotive history books, as it ended up selling over 1 million units in just 12 months in the United States alone.
