Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Oldsmobile Cutlass - 1964

The car grew larger for 1964 when it moved to GM's new body-on-frame A-body platform. The Vista Cruiser, a stretched-wheelbase version of the Cutlass/F-85 station wagon that also featured a raised rear roof and tinted skylights, debuted on February 4, 1964. The 4-4-2 model, derived from the BO-9 police package was also introduced this year. A 225 in³ V6 was used for 1965 and 1966. It was replaced by an Oldsmobile-badged Action-Line 6 version of Chevrolet's 250 in³ Turbo-Thrift straight-6 engine in 1966. Bore wa ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Porsche 928 - Design

The 928 featured a large, front-mounted and water-cooled, V8 engine driving the rear wheels. Originally displacing 4.5 L and featuring a single overhead camshaft, it produced 219 hp (163 kW/222 PS) for the North American market and 240 PS (176 kW/237 hp) in other markets. Porsche upgraded the engine from mechanical to electronic fuel injection in 1980, although power remained the same. This design marked a major change in direction for Porsche (started with the introduction of the 924 in 1976), whose cars had until then used only rear- or mid-mounted air-cooled fl ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Oldsmobile Cutlass - 1982

The smaller Cutlass Ciera line was introduced on GM's new front wheel drive A platform, while the Cutlass Supreme remained on the (now renamed) rear wheel drive G platform for six more years. Oldsmobile produced one last rear wheel drive Cutlass for 1988, Cutlass Supreme Classic, alongside the new front wheel drive Cutlass Supreme. Another new Cutlass vehicle, the N-body Cutlass Calais, was introduced in 1985, brin ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Turbocharger - Principle of operation

A turbocharger is an exhaust gas driven supercharger. All superchargers have a gas compressor in the intake tract of the engine which compresses the intake air above atmospheric pressure, greatly increasing the volumetric efficiency beyond that of naturally-aspirated engines. A turbocharger also has a turbine that powers the compressor using wasted energy from the exhaust gases. The compressor and turbine spin on ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Ford Falcon - Falcons in Argentina

In Argentina, Falcons closely resembling the 1960s North American Falcons were built until the early 1990s. Green Falcons became infamous due to their use by death squads during the military dictatorship of the 1970s and early 1980s. The Falcon retained the same body style, with a more substantial facelift taking place in the 1980s, bringing it into line with other Fords. However, by then, it was apparent that it was a 1960 design wearing a 1980s grille. The station wagon ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - John De Lorean - Childhood

John Zachary DeLorean was born on January 6, 1925 in Detroit, Michigan, the eldest of four sons of Zachary and Kathryn Pribak DeLorean. The DeLoreans lived in a small house at 17199 Marx, near the corner of Six Mile Road and Dequindre in Detroit’s Near East Side. It was a three bedroom abode in a tough, lower-middle-class neighborhood. A millwright by trade, Zachary DeLorean was an immigrant from Romania. Born youngest of thirteen boys, he came to America when he was twenty, spending time in Montana and Gary, Indiana before moving t ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - John De Lorean - Education

John attended Detroit's public grade schools, and was then accepted into Cass Technical High School, a technical High School for Detroit's honor students. There he signed up for the electrical curriculum. The young DeLorean found the Cass experience to be exhilarating, and excelled at his studies. His chemistry teacher was Evangeline Lodge Land, mother of eminent pilot Charles Lindbergh. DeLorean’s excellent academic record combined with his talents in music netted him a scholarship at Lawrence Institute of Technology (now known as ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - John De Lorean - Delorean DeLorean or De Lorean?

De Lorean's name is most often seen spelled without the space, as DeLorean. Typewritten documents of the De Lorean Motor Company universally used the space, however, and this appears to have been the company's chosen form. In typeset documents, a half space, not a full space, appears between the two portions, and the same is visible in more stylistic representations, as on the automobiles themselves. This use of a ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Ford Falcon - Falcons in North America

Historically, the Big Three auto manufacturers, (GM, Ford and Chrysler), focused purely on the larger and more profitable vehicles in the US and Canadian markets. Towards the end of the 1950s, all three manufacturers realised that that former strategy would no longer work. Large automobiles were becoming increasingly expensive thanks to wage inflation, making smaller European cars such as Volvos and Volkswagens increasingly attractive. Furthermore, many American families were now in the market for a second car, and market research showed tha ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Hippie - Hippy

Neo-hippies or simply hippy is a name given to turn of the 21st century youths who still believe in the hippie philosophy from back in the day. Dreadlocks — especially with beads sewn into them — remain popular amongst neo-hippies. Much like their 1960s counterparts, the peace and justice theme continues. Especially with antiwar demonstrations in the wake of the Gulf War II, and ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Hippie - Politics

Hippies often participated in peace movements, including peace marches such as the USA marches on Washington and civil rights marches, and anti-Vietnam War demonstrations including the 1968 Democratic Convention. Yippies represented a highly politically active sub-group. By 2005 standards, they're prone to hedonism and pacifism. The culture has also rapidly embraced postfeminist and mostly postmodern "principles" in wake of the twenty-first century. Though hippies embodied a counterculture movement, early hippies were not particularly tolerant of homosexuality. Acceptance of homosexuality grew with the culture and by today's standa ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Hippie - Drugs

Driven by the appeal of the Sixties "psychedelics guru", Harvard professor Timothy Leary, who advocated use of these drugs as a form of mind expansion, many hippies participated in recreational drug use, particularly marijuana (see cannabis, cannabis (drug), and hashish) and hallucinogens such as LSD (see both psychedelic and psychedelic drug) and psilocybin (see Psychedelic mushroom). Some hippies prize marijuana for its iconoclastic, illicit nature, as well as for its psychopharmaceutical effects. Although some hippies did not use drugs, drug use is a trait often ascribed to hippies. Some hippies used drugs to express their di ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Hippie - Legacy

By 1970, much of the hippie style, but little of its substance, had passed into mainstream culture. The media lost interest in the subculture, as it went out of fashion with younger people and even became the target of their ridicule with the advent of punk rock. However, many hippies made, and continue to maintain, long-term commitments to the lifestyle. As of 2005, hippies are found in bohemian enclaves around the world or as wanderers following the bands they love. Since the early 1970s, many rendezvous annually at Rainbow Gatherings. Others gather at meetings and f ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Hippie - Pejorative connotations

The term hippie has also been used in a derogatory sense, to describe long-haired unkempt drug users. Among those of the Beat Generation, the flood of youngsters adopting Beatnik sensibilities, appeared to be cheap, mass-produced imitations of the Beatnik artist community. By Beat standards, these newcomers were not "clever" enough to really be "hip". On the other hand, conservatives used the term hippie as an insult toward young adults whom had a leftist, liberal, and other progressive outlooks on life. Bands members like the Beatles defied ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Mid-size car - Japan

In Japan, the term mid-size car probably does not have the intermediate sense that it does in other markets. Due to space restrictions the range of cars available in this market starts from a much smaller size. As such, the models that Japan exports to other markets to compete in mid-size market segments such as the Mazda6 and Subaru Legacy occupy a more exclusive segment in the Japanese marketplace. An interesting quirk of Japanese automotive tax codes is that width is one of factors determining which category a car is taxed under. T ...

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 depending on size (using low inertia turbos, 190,000 rpm), weight of the rotating parts, boost pressure developed and compressor design. Such ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Turbocharger - Reliability

As long as the oil supply is clean and the exhaust gas does not become overheated (lean mixtures or retarded spark timing on a gasoline engine) a turbocharger can be very reliable but care of the unit is important. Replacing a turbo that lets go and sheds its blades will be expensive. The use of synthetic oils is recommended in turbo engines. After high speed operation of the engine it is important to let the engine run at idle speed for one to three minutes before turning off the engine. Saab, in its owner manuals, recommends ...

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Turbocharger - Lag

A lag is sometimes felt by the driver of a turbocharged vehicle as a delay between pushing on the accelerator pedal and feeling the turbo kick-in. This is symptomatic of the time taken for the exhaust system driving the turbine to come to high pressure and for the turbine rotor to overcome its rotational inertia and reach the speed necessary to supply boost pressure. The directly-driven compressor in a supercharger does not suffer this problem. Conversely on light loads or at low rpm a turbocharger supplies less boost and the engine is more e ...

Laura Welch met George W. Bush in 1977 at a backyard barbeque at the home of mutual friends. After a three-month courtship, she married him on November 5 of that year at the First United Methodist Church in Midland, the same church that she had been baptized in. [1] In 1981, she gave birth to twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna. The twins both graduated from high school in 2000 and from separate colleges in 2004.

Chevrolet Corvair: Encyclopedia II - Mid-size car - Europe Australia & New Zealand

Cars in Europe's equivalent category to North America's mid-size are generally known as family cars or large family cars (small family cars are North American compacts), whereas Australia and New Zealand also use the mid-size label. European and Australasian mid-size/family cars are usually a little smaller than the North American norm, even from the same manufacturer. For comparison, the 1998 Ford Taurus weighed around 1500 kg, had a 2757 mm wheelbase, and was powered by a 3.0 L V6 engine, whereas a 1998 Ford Mondeo weighed around 1300 kg, ...
