"The 1964 @Lincoln Continental underwent its first mid-cycle redesign. Alongside styling updates, several functional changes were focused towards increasing rear-seat space. The recessed rear grille was replaced by a much simpler decklid with trim panel (moving the fuel-filler door to the left-rear fender). The interior was completely revised with a full-width instrument panel, updated upholstery patterns, door panels and fittings." #tbt #throwback #Lincoln #Continental

"Dubbed the "Action Line," the second-generation (1967) Chevrolet C/K Series added comfort and convenience features to what had previously been a line of work trucks.

Also, the GMC grille was revised, with the letters 'GMC' no longer embossed in the horizontal crossbar." #tbt #throwback #Chevrolet

"According to a new study from Capgemini that looked at populations in major countries around the world, those under age 35 are now seriously considering buying a car. The shift in thinking comes as they correlate health and safety risks associated with shared transportation, like Uber, Lyft or even a local bus network.

"COVID-19 is showing signs of accelerating a shift already underway in the new-car buying process: Most automakers will bring the business to you and are offering at home delivery.
