| | | | | Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Hippie - Origins In the 1940s and 1950s the term hipster came into usage by the American Beat generation to describe jazz and swing music performers, and evolved to also describe the bohemian-like counterculture that formed around the art of the time.
The 1960s hippie culture evolved from the beat culture, and was greatly influenced by changing music style and the creation of rock & roll from jazz.
The first use of the word hippie on television was on WNBC TV Channel 4 in New York City at the opening of the New York World's Fa ...

| | | | | | Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Ford Falcon - Falcons in Australia
Ford Falcon - General description.
Ford Australia claims that four million of its versions of the Falcon have been sold since 1960, and it has been the best selling car in Australia on many occasions. Throughout its history the Falcon has been available in sedan, station wagon, ute (short for "utility," known in the US as pickup trucks), and panel van versions. Falcons dominate the ranks of taxis in Australia and New Zealand and are also widely used as police cars.
Other Falcon-based models continue ...

The 1970 Cutlass came in two body styles: the notchback Cutlass Supreme and fastback Cutlass S. The base model on the platform remained the straight-6 F-85.
The new 1972 Hurst/Olds used the Cutlass body. The straight-6 was gone.

| | | | | Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Oldsmobile Cutlass - 1973 The Cutlass was redesigned for 1973-1977 using GM's new "Colonnade" A-body platform. The model lineup consisted of the Cutlass "S", Cutlass Supreme, Cutlass Salon, Vista Cruiser station wagon, and the 442 appearance package on the Cutlass "S" colonnade coupe.
The Cutlass Salon was added in 1975 as an upscale model - this was the first Oldsmobile with the 'international' flags emblem which was later carried into the Cutlass Ciera line.
For 1975, Cutlasses used the Oldsmobile 260 V8 with a 5 speed manual transmission (T-50 - optioned in 1976 and 1977) or optional ...

| | | | | Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Oldsmobile Cutlass - 1978 The 1978 Cutlass moved to a new version of the G-body with a shorter wheelbase. A mild restyle came in 1981. This Cutlass was lighter than earlier versions at around 3300 lb (1500 kg). The G-body version offers enough engine compartment room for larger engine swaps quite easily and this is the best way to gain back performance from this emission-choked year. 455s from earlier years will fit with minimal modifications and if the car was originally a 260, the engine mounts will line up when swapping a 455. Some G-body Cutlasses were powered with a Chevrolet 305 (5.0 L) to which the popular 350 Che ...

A diesel-powered Oldsmobile 260 (based on the Olds 350 Diesel) was optional; diesel Cutlasses had the "Oldsmobile Diesel" badges on the decklids, where gas-powered Cutlasses had the Olds Rocket logo.
About 3000 Cutlass Calais coupes were equipped with the Hurst/Olds W-30 package.

| | | | | Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Porsche 928 - Conception By the late 1960s, Porsche had changed significantly as a company, and executives including owner Ferry Porsche were toying with the idea of adding a luxury touring car to the line-up, mainly at the behest of Managing Director Ernst Fuhrmann, who believed that the company's future lay with high-performance grand touring cars rather than with pure sports cars. Simoultaneously, slumping sales of the company's flagship 911 led to the belief that a replacement for it would soon be necessary. Two cars were introduced to cure this, the 924 and the 928. The sportier and lighter 924 was the car that was meant to replace the 911, a ...

| | | | | | Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Turbocharger - Design details When a gas is compressed, its temperature rises. It is not uncommon for a turbocharger to be pushing out air that is 90 °C (200°F). Compressed air from a turbo may be (and most commonly is, on petrol engines) cooled before it is fed into the cylinders, using an intercooler or a charge air cooler (a heat-exchange device).
A turbo spins very fast; most peak between 80,000 and 150,000 rpm (using low inertia turbos, 190,000 rpm) depending on size, weight of the rotating parts, boost pressure developed and compressor design. Such ...

| | | | | | Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Turbocharger - Applications Turbocharging is very common on diesel engines in conventional automobiles, in trucks, for marine and heavy machinery applications. In fact, for current automotive applications, non-turbocharged diesel engines are becoming increasingly rare. Diesels are particularly suitable for turbocharging for several reasons:
Naturally-aspirated diesels have lower power-to-weight ratios compared to gasoline engines; turbocharging will improve this P:W ratio.
Diesel engines require more robust construction because they already run at ...

| | | | | Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Turbocharger - History The turbocharger was invented by Swiss engineer, Alfred Buchi, who had been working on steam turbines. His patent for the internal combustion turbocharger was applied for in 1905. Diesel ships and locomotives with turbochargers began appearing in the 1920s.
One of the first applications of a turbocharger to a non-Diesel engine came when General Electric engineer, Sanford Moss attached a turbo to a V12 Liberty aircraft engine. The engine was tested at Pike's Peak in Colorado at 14,000 feet to demonstrate that it could eliminate the power losses usually experienced in internal com ...

| | | | | Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Porsche 928 - Styling changes The 928's styling developments can largely be summed up with the following characteristics:
Styling was the same from 1978 through 1980 and the body lacked both front and rear spoilers. From 1980 (1983 in North America) through 1986, front and rear spoilers were present (on "S" models), rear spoilers were integrated into the hatch. From 1987 through 1995, the front spoiler is integrated into the nose and the rear spoiler became a separated wing rather than an integrated piece, and side skirts were added. The rear tail-light configura ...

| | | | | Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Porsche 928 - Later variants Porsche introduced their first revision of the 928, the 928S, in 1980 in Europe, although it was 1983 before the car reached North America. The main change for the 928S was under the hood, where a revised 4.7 L engine was used. European versions debuted with 300 PS (221 kW/297 PS), and were upgraded to 310 PS (228 kW/306 hp) in 1984 model year. North American spec models needed additional emissions regulation equipment, and were limited to 234 hp (174 kW/237 PS) as a result. Externally, the S wore front and rear spoilers and sported wid ...

| | | | | Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Plymouth Valiant - 1967 The Valiant/Dart line reached its greatest heights after a total redesign in 1967, with the wheelbase now 108 in (2743 mm) for the Valiant. This generation acquired an excellent mechanical reputation and produced such hot-selling variants as the 1970-1976 Plymouth Valiant Duster/Dodge Dart Swinger, 1971-1976 Plymouth Scamp and 1971-1972 Dodge Demon. There was a Dodge Demon for 1971 and 1972, and a Dodge Dart Sport from 1973 to 1976. Chrysler's ponycars, the [Dodge Challenger]] and Plymouth Barracuda, used a modi ...

| | | | | Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Plymouth Valiant - 1963 The Valiant was totally reskinned for 1963, with a ½ in (12.7 mm) shorter 106 in (2692 mm) wheelbase. The Valiant was successful, and as was the usual Detroit practice, several different models were spun off it. The Dodge Lancer, which had appeared in 1961, was discontinued, and the Valiant's new Dodge counterpart became the Dart, the name of which was recycled for the A-body platform. With this redesign, and it rode on a longer 111 in (2819 mm) wheelbase. The Plymouth Barracuda, considered by som ...

| | | | | Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Plymouth Valiant - 1974 The Valiant was refreshed again in 1974, with the sedan getting the Dart's longer 111 in (2819 mm) wheelbase.
1974 also introduced the Valiant Brougham and its twin, the Dodge Dart Special Edition. Available in two and four doors, they were a compact luxury version of the Valiant/Dart and were designed to provide an attractive oil-crisis alternative to larger luxury cars. Plymouth's coupe version was oddly badged as simply the Plymouth Brougham, although the very similar sedans carried the Valiant name. There had been ...
