Ferrari

All the first car were racing cars, and it was not until 1948 that the first road cars began to be produced, the initial model being the 166 Sport. Other variants of the 166 included the Inter and Mille Miglia, and 92 type 166 cars were built up until 1953. As was normal in those days, the bodies were built by a variety of Italian coachbuilders, including Touring, Vignale, Ghia and Farina.

Citroën

When André Citroën begins to sell cars under his own name in 1919, he is already skilled in volume production methods and automotive technology. Graduating in 1900 from France's most prestigious engineering college, the Ecole Polytechnique, he founds his first company in 1902 after completing his military service.

Pontiac

Pontiac is generally credited with starting the "classic" muscle car era in 1964 with the introduction of the GTO - an intermediate-bodied car stuffed with a big displacement high performance V8 engine, and packaged with sport options aimed at a large youth market.
