I thought it would be interesting to see who can produce some of the best classic car related trivia. It can be something lots of people already know or a hidden gem. I’ll start off with a few to get the ball rolling.

1-The Ford Mustang was nearly named after a cat, early plans show the Mustang named as a cougar.
2- The MG C received negative reviews for it’s handling but it was observed that critics were hitting corners too fast and struggling under the impression that they were driving slower than they actually were.
3- VW workers engraved the last ever Karmann Ghia with the parting message of “you ran so well, you were so beautiful, but alas, you must leave us now”.
