The Lancia Aurelia is a car that was produced by the Italian manufacturer Lancia. Designed by Vittorio Jano, the Aurelia was launched in 1950 and production lasted until the summer of 1958.

The Aurelia used the first production V6 engine, a 60° design developed by Francesco de Virgilio who was, between 1943 and 1948 a Lancia engineer, and who worked under Jano. During production, capacity grew from 1.8 L to 2.5 L. Prototype engines used a bore and stroke of 68 mm x 72 mm for 1569 cc; these were tested between 1946 and 1948. It was an all-alloy pushrod design with a single camshaft between the cylinder banks. A hemispherical combustion chamber and in-line valves were used. A single Solex or Weber carburettor completed the engine. Some uprated 1991 cc models were fitted with twin carburettors.

At the rear was an innovative combination transaxle with the gearbox, clutch, differential, and inboard-mounted drum brakes. The front suspension was a sliding pillar design, with rear semi-trailing arms replaced by a de Dion tube in the Fourth series. The Aurelia was also first car to be fitted with radial tires as standard equipment.

Color scheme idea collected for my 1980 C10 project

Color scheme idea collected for my 1980 C10 project

Just shot this as part of a collection of color schemes possibilities for a project I am working on.

This is a 1982 Chevrolet C20 custom pickup with stepside box. For sale and priced at $10,000. As is often the case with customized vehicles like this, the price, if attained will very likely only recoup approximately 25% of cost of custom work. It is far more advisable to buy a custom that is done, but the type of individuals involved with such vehicles are not usually driven by price, but by ego. They would rather create their own idea of a custom vehicle, even though they realize no one will every likely purchase that vehicle at any price near compensation for the money spent in the creation.
