Blog Prospectus

My blog prospectus topic is to compare classic cars that have been reintroduced into society with an old school look and feel. Each week I will do in depth research about a vehicle that has been remade in recent years to compare them to their past designs. I will evaluate the old version of the make and model as well as the newer version. Mostly all the makes and models of the cars to be researched come from the 1950's to the 1970's. Following that procedure I will compare the pros and cons of each vehicle. The last section of the blog will consist of a grading rubric. Each will be graded based upon four factors: 1. Exterior styling, 2. Interior styling and functionality, 3. Under the hood, engine specs, transmission and engine combos as well as overall appeal, 4. The overall grade that I will give the vehicle based on the previous three factors. I will also incorporate enthusiast's views of the re-make to help aide in my decision of the winner. There are numerous websites and sources that I will use to help aide in my research. Each week the sources will change because there are sites dedicated to the specific vehicle. The majority of my information will come from Hotrod Magazine because it is very resourceful.

The overall point this blog is trying to make is to decide if the auto manufactures have done justice by re-creating cars that have defined America and became envied by every car enthusiast. I am very passionate about cars, especially old school muscle cars and have been captivated by what the auto industry has done with the re-making of such icons. The 1950's-1970's is a period of which some people think that the designs of the auto industry were at its best.

The cars that I will be blogging about are as follows: 1. The 1967 Camaro vs. the 2010 Camaro: 2. The 1967 Shelby Mustang vs. the 2009 Shelby Mustang: 3. The 1964 Ford Thunderbird vs. 2004 Ford Thunderbird: 4. 1973 Pontiac Trans Am vs. Pontiac Trans Am Concept car: 5. The 1971 Dodge Charger vs. 2009 Dodge Charger. 6. 1970 Dodge Challenger vs. 2010 Dodge Challenger: 7. The 1970 Plymouth Super bird vs. Plymouth Super bird Concept Car: 8. The 1964 Pontiac GTO vs. 2004 Pontiac GTO: 9. 1958 Chevrolet Corvette vs. 2010 Chevrolet Corvette: 10.The 1969 Volkswagen Beetle vs. 2010 Volkswagen Beetle.
