The 55' was the second generation of the Bel Air and during this year, the big body and crisp and clean styling earned it the nickname of "The Hot One". With this model, Chevy finally introduced the V8 engine option that could produce up to 180 horses.
The 55' Bel Air was a perfect combination of style and power, which makes it one of the most sought after classic cars of today. From 55' to 57', the Bel Air models were known as the "TriFive" because of the superiority in style and design. No other models after this time could compare to the roomy interior, tasteful design and raw power the Bel Air included. This car will forever live on as a classic and I look to purchase one in the future to keep it alive...

Ferrari 360 Spider - E Monroe Street, Detroit, MI
I spotted this beautiful Ferrari 360 Spider near Greek town in Downtown Detroit. This model was in production from 1999 until 2005. It's successor is the Ferrari F430, but the Spider still drops jaws. I can't help myself but to get a little excited whenever I see a 360 Spider in the infamous "Ferrari Red".
