Inglese™ Weber carburetors offer outstanding performance and throttle response, as well as an incredible underhood appearance.

The two-barrel 48 IDA, with its superb design and craftsmanship, is the best known of the Inglese™ Weber carburetors. The number “48” indicates it has a 48mm bore diameter and throttle plate, while the IDA suffix indicates that this is a high performance downdraft carburetor.
The 48 IDA design is simple and elegant, with no metering rods, power valves, rubber seals or plastic parts. Its accelerator pump and floats are made from brass, and its throttle shaft rides in precision roller bearings.
Inglese™ 48 IDAs can be tuned to work with nearly any displacement or compression ratio by virtue of interchangeable venturi that permit them to be tuned to flow as much (or as little) CFM as your engine requires. Although 48 IDAs are often described as being more of a race-oriented carb due to a simpler transition circuit than that found in IDF carbs, Inglese-tuned IDAs make a superb choice for both street and track use.

Having a small, nimble car may have been important to motorists overseas, but the realities of American road travel meant that very few domestic vehicles would ever be taken over narrow, twisty mountain passes or road raced in the European manner. Yet while American cars were built to traverse wide ribbons of highway for hundreds of miles at a time (and navigate busy city streets at a snail's pace) it did not mean that the fun was over. It just meant that one's driving entertainment had to come from a new direction. Before long, passionate motorists realized that, while American speed limits were low compared to other places in the world, a car did not have to take forever to reach them.

Sue Vanderbilt in a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Seville “Baroness;" the show car that she styled for the Feminine Show. When you look back at General Motors’ rich design history, one of the most talented individuals, who made her career as part of GM’s vaunted Creative Design Team, was the late Suzanne E. Vanderbilt.
Vanderbilt was one of the original Damsels of Design – a group of eight, great talented female designers that the famed Harley Earl hired during the early days of the 1950s.
Throughout history, the Oldsmobile story has inspired many automotive historians with its rich and celebrated heritage which started right in Michigan’s capital city of Lansing.
I remember a particularly exciting year in 1978 when Oldsmobile introduced their new line of vehicles and automotive catalogues to the buying public. My first impression was that Oldsmobile was using 1978 to create a family-oriented lineup of new cars. The company used its advertising and marketing to highlight many traditional family values
The year 1966 was a great year for automotive sales in the U.S. Many car manufacturers were doing very well for the economy and in 1966 the average cost for a new Dodge vehicle sold for $ 2,280 and the price of gasoline for 32 cents a gallon.
The Chrysler Corporation was also doing very well within the automotive markets with its popular Dodge Dart models. The 1966 Dodge Dart models made their debut in Dodge dealerships on September 30, 1965.

To ensure that Shelby American would have its 1966 GT350 models in dealerships when Ford released the new ‘66 Mustangs, Shelby ordered an additional 252 cars from Ford’s San Jose plant at the very end of 1965 production. These ‘change-over’ cars (often referred to as ‘carry-overs’) were essentially Shelby-spec ’65 GT350s, and received the same performance modifications,
