In 1964 Morgan decided to put out a modern-appearing car. I believe the mechanicals were much the same as their traditional models, but the body -- of fiberglass -- was a huge leap for Morgan. They planned on making 50 of the new model, called the Plus Four Plus, but the reception was lukewarm and, in the end, only 26 were produced.

1947 Ford V8 Super Deluxe Sportsman 'Woode' Convertible
with 100 hp V-8 When introduced in 1932, the Ford V-8 made 66 hp. Four years later, it was bumped up to 85 hp. A "Baby V-8" of 60 hp was also introduced. The V-8s outsold the base four cylinders by far.

Chevrolet's answer to the import car invasion was the Corvair with an air-cooled opposed engine in the rear, etc. The transmission was not a high point: Base 3-speed manual or two-speed Powerglide automatic.
This is a first-generation car as produced from 1960 to 1964. Initially at least it was a bare-bones economy car listing for just over $2,000 with a 3-speed manual. The automatic was a $146 option. In 1965, a second-generation car that I remember was quite attractive was introduced. It stayed in production until 1969. Safety advocate Ralph Nader attacked the Corvair as unsafe due to suspension design and the resulting controversy effectively killed the car by 1970. https://en.wikipedia/wiki/Chevrolet_Corvair

But a genuine turbocharged engine was later introduced as the Spyder; its 2,372cc flat six offered 150 hp and 210 foot-pounds of torque. Here's a convertible Spyder.

Here's a second-gen Corvair. It's got all the expected features: fake wire wheels, whitewall tires and a skinny steering wheel.

I found this place in Big Spring TX by pure happenstance on a road trip home with a newly acquired r53 last summer.
So I had to stop there again and take a pic with my newly acquired e91.
