450 Triumph TR6

BEST SELLER
The TR6’s good looks, and a long production run,
made this model the biggest selling of all TR
models. British sales stopped in February 1975, but
continued in the US until July 1976. The US model
may have been slower than the UK model by
12 mph (19 km/h), but 10 times
as many TR6s
were exported
as remained
in Britain.

ENGINE
The first engines, as on this 1972 car, produced
152 bhp, but public pressure for something more well
mannered resulted in a 125 bhp version in 1973.
Americans had to make do with just over 100 bhp

and no fuel injection.

STEERING WHEEL
Steering wheel size was
reduced at the time of other
mid-model changes in 1973.

INTERIOR
The interior is still traditional but more
refined than earlier TRs. Yet with its big
dials, wooden dash, and short-throw gear
knob, its character is still truly sporty.

452 Tucker Torpedo

TUCKER Torpedo

THERE’S NO OTHER POSTWAR CAR that’s as dramatic or advanced as Preston Tucker’s
futuristic ’48 Torpedo. With four-wheel independent suspension, rear-mounted
Bell helicopter engine, pop-out safety windshield, and uncrushable passenger
compartment, it was 20 years ahead of its time. “You’ll step into a new automotive
age when you drive your Tucker ’48,” bragged the ads. It was a promise that
convinced an astonishing 300,000 people to place orders, but their dreams were
never to be realized. Problems with the engine and Tuckermatic transmission,
plus a serious cash-flow crisis, meant that only 51 Torpedos left the Chicago
plant. Worse still, Tucker and five of his associates were indicted for fraud by
the Securities Exchange Commission. Their acquittal came too late to save
America’s most eccentric car from an undignified end.

was as low as 0.30. The Torpedo’s top
speed was 120 mph (193 km/h), and
an astonishing 30 mpg (10.6 km/l)

AN INSTANT HIT
The public loved the Tucker not only
for its comfort, power, and safety, but
also because the styling was completely
free from the usual prewar clichés. The
prototype was ready in 60 days
and more than 5,000 people
attended the launch.

a complete sensation. It had the widest

Some say that Detroit conspired to destroy

were from the Lincoln Zephyr, given freely

safety features, the Tucker sales team
figured it was too austere.

up to a man’s shoulder.

456 Volkswagen Beetle Karmann

VOLKSWAGEN Beetle Karmann

BEETLE PURISTS MAY WAX lyrical about the first-of-breed purity of the original split-
rear-window Bugs and the oval window versions of 1953 to 1957, but there is one
Beetle that everybody wants—the Karmann-built Cabriolet. Its development followed
that of the sedans through a bewildering series of modifications, but it always stood
apart. With its top retracted into a bulging bustle, this Beetle was not only cheerful,
but chic too, a classless cruiser at home equally on Beverly Hills boulevards, Cannes,
and Main Street. The final incarnation of the Karmann convertible represents the
ultimate development of the Beetle theme, with the peppiest engine and improved
handling. It’s strange to think that the disarming, unburstable Bug was once branded
with the slogan of the Hitler Youth, “Strength through Joy.” Today, modern retro
Beetles have become suburban middle-class trinkets.

ROADSTER PLANS SURFMOBILE
Before Karmann chopped the lid Cabriolets like this
off the Bug, there had been plans California-registered
for a Beetle-based roadster. The car are a mainstay of

460 Volkswagen Golf GTi

VOLKSWAGEN Golf GTi

EVERY DECADE OR SO A really great car comes along. In the Seventies it was the Golf.
Like the Beetle before it, the Golf was designed to make inroads into world markets;
yet while the Beetle evolved into the perfect consumer product, the Golf was planned
that way. The idea of a “hot” Golf was not part of the grand plan. It was the
brainchild of a group of enthusiastic Volkswagen engineers who worked evenings and
weekends, impressing VW’s board so much that the GTi became an official project in
May 1975. Despite its youth, the GTi is as much of a classic as any Ferrari. Its claim
to fame is that it spawned a traffic jam of imitators and brought an affordable cocktail
of performance, handling, and reliability to the mass-market buyer. Few other cars
have penetrated the suburban psyche as deeply as the original Golf GTi, and fewer
still have had greatness thrust upon them at such an early age.

GTI ENHANCEMENTS
GTi suspension was lower and
firmer than the standard Golf, with
wider tires and wheels. Front disc
brakes were ventilated, but
keeping standard drums at
the rear was a mistake—
early Golfs were very
disinclined to stop.

462 Volvo P1800

VOLVO P1800

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A VOLVO like the P1800, for this was a one-time flight of
fancy by the sober Swedes, who already had a reputation for building sensible sedans.
As a sports car the P1800 certainly looked stunning, every sensuous curve and lean
line suggesting athletic prowess. But under that sharp exterior was most of the
engineering of the Volvo Amazon, a worthy workhorse sedan. Consequently, the
P1800 was no road-burner; it just about had the edge on the MGB (see pages 372–73),
but only in a straight line. Another competitor, the E-Type Jag (see pages 306–09),
was launched in 1961, the same year as the P1800 and at almost the same price,
but there the comparison ends. The P1800 did have style, though, and its other
virtues were pure Volvo—strength, durability, and reliability. These combined
to create something quite singular in automotive idiom—a practical sports car.

DESIGN CREDITS JENSEN’S SIGNATURE

464 Willys Jeep MB

WILLYS Jeep MB

AS ONE WAR CORRESPONDENT SAID, “It’s as faithful as a dog, as strong as a mule,
and as agile as a mountain goat.” The flat-fendered Willys Jeep is one of the most
instantly recognizable vehicles ever made. Any American TV or movie action hero
who wasn’t on a horse was in a Jeep. Even General Eisenhower was impressed, saying
“the three tools that won us the war in Europe were the Dakota, the landing craft,
and the Jeep.” In 1940, the Defense Department sent out a tough spec for a military
workhorse. Many companies took one look at the seemingly impossible specification
and 49-day deadline and turned it down flat. The design that won the bid and made
it into production and the history books was a mixture of the ideas and abilities
of Ford, Bantam, and Willys-Overland. A stunning triumph of function over form,
the Jeep not only won the war, but went on to become a cult off-roader that’s still
with us now. The Willys Jeep is surely the most original 4x4 by far.
