Car History

When we talk about Antique cars, it is generally defined as cars which age is already 26years or more than that years of age. Antique car is synonymously term with classic car. But classic cars are mostly defined as cars which in high quality vehicles before the world war II era. Automobile history era is categorize into the following years 1890's to 1900's car is called Veteran or classic car, 1910 to 1930's is known to be the era of Brass and Edwardian car, 1940 to 1950's is the ere of Vintage car, 1960 to 1970's called a pre-war car era, 1980-1990's are the post-war car era, year 2000 up to the present time is the Modern era, and 2010 and up is the future car generation. This era or generations of cars are also called the evolutions of cars which you will know and determine the changes of image of cars in those generations of cars. If we are fun of collecting antique cars or classic cars, we are engage to the current value which play something to do on the current supply versus the demand of those antique cars. And of course, we are dealing also on the condition of the car whether it is good or bad condition. But mostly the poor condition car is cheaper than the good condition car. About the evolution of cars, there are lot of differences when we compare the modern cars from the classic cars. The modern cars are good looking image and 10x faster than classic cars. Form time to time, almost every year the model of cars are evolved.

About the invention of the car, several Italians recorded a design car for wind driven vehicles. The first design was Guido da Vigevano in 1335. After that, the great Leonardo da Vinci designed a clockwork driven tricycle with tiller steering and a differential mechanism between the rear wheels. In 1885, its a massive design of wooden motorcycle which invented by Gottllieb Daimler's workshop. Daimler used a hot tube ignition system to get his engine speed up to 1000 rpm. At that moment Karl Benz had already driven his light and tubular framed tricycle. Until in that year 1888. William Steinway talked to Daimler about US manufacturing right and suddenly, they got a deal which turn into the building of Daimler Motor Company that owned by Steinway. This company produced petrol engines for tramway cars, carriages, fire engines, quadricycles, and boats. After the success of Daimler Motor Company, it was the start up of many car inventions. At 1893, Henry Ford start to build his first car which finish at the year 1896. He named his first car “quadracycle”. And in 1899, with the help of wealthy people in Detroit, Ford established the Detroit Automobile Company. >From year after year, car productions and car developed of its design and engines was rapidly occur. Until in 1906, the birth of the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost is introduce. This car was a six cylinder which stayed in production until 1925. Rolls Royce car is the period of ending the invention period of car and serves as the concept of modern cars.

Cars nowadays have already mark every history that serve as the major transportation vehicle in the world. The effect of cars in the economy of a certain country is very effective on helping on its progress. As I've said, cars are the transportation vehicle that serves to established the well-developed economy of a country. Mostly, car is the basis also of every individual financial status. If you have a car, you might belong as rich or in higher class. Even though, some middle class can buy also their cars but not as many and as expensive of the car of higher class individuals.

Some brand of Cars increased their sales and productions, and some other brands decreased their sales and productions. Those differences was occur in every countries which car industry is booming and at the other side doesn't. For the top cars of 2008, we intend to judge each car in three general areas, the first being how well the vehicle performs its intended functions. We expect sports cars to be fast and exhilarating, whereas we presume a family sedan will be frugal and practical.

The automobile industry this year decrease their production and sales because of economic turmoil such as financial crisis and oil price hike. But despite of those problem worldwide, the car industry still on operation. There are still good news in this industry. Fuel price problem really affects the car industry.

Engine conversions

Some people are very resourceful. And when it comes to their cars, they search for a lower cost gas for their cars. And sometimes they turn to an inventive process to adopt natural resources as part of experimenting possible sub-fuel that replace the commercial fuel such diesel and regular gasoline. There are lot of experimentation which people held in order to turn out their effort into successful conversion of their cars into sub-fuel like biodiesel, vegetable oil, water, and many more conversion which car owners or drivers meets the cheaper cost of consuming fuels.

Engine conversions is one of the major subjects in engine industry or car industry. Through this mechanical process, the engine of your car will able to generate with some other fuels. There are several sub-fuels which in general you can't imagine that it powered a certain engine. For example the vegetable oil and the water. Who believes that this substances is able to start an engine and totally empowers it. Believe it or not, yes it is. Vegetable oil and water can start your engine. That's why, there are lot of engine conversion mechanism was established for a specific conversion like engine conversion through vegetable oil fuel. Diesel engines is much appropriate in conversion to vegetable oil fuel. Because diesel engines can run on 3 basic types of fuel such as petroleum diesel, bio diesel, and straight vegetable oil. Bio diesel is a clean-burning fuel made from domestic, renewable plant sources, such as oils from vegetables, peanuts, soy beans, canola/rape seeds, hemp seeds and some grains. It has undergone the process of transesterification, a simple chemical modification of ordinary vegetable oil that makes the fuel usable in diesel engines and keeps it from thickening at colder temperatures. The process of converting engines into cooking oil engine is start with a modern diesel engine, install a vegetable oil conversion kit or mechanical apparatus that allows vegetable oil run the engine, and put vegetable oil from the fuel tank of the engine in order to test if the conversion is successful. If it is successful, you can have now a newly convert engine using cooking oil fuel.

Another engine conversion is through converting engine into water used as a fuel. There are already lot of study and inventions regarding on engine conversion using water as a fuel. Through this study, almost billion of dollars was spend by certain countries to cope up in this concept of conversion. But despite of that, people will satisfied because there will be a chance of having a free fuel. Free fuel in the sense that water is abundant. You can have it free anytime if that will become your fuel for your car. But still, people search for a better development of engine conversion that serves water as a fuel. Among engine conversion mechanism, the most popular and common engine conversion is gasoline engine converts into using diesel engines. They convert gasoline engines into diesel in order to have cheaper fuel cost. Because Diesel fuel is cheaper than gasoline fuel. That's why lot of car owner having a gasoline engine wants to convert their engine car into diesel. Those are example of engine conversions. And there are some engine conversion nowadays that enjoys by some people. There are engine conversions using LPG to run the engine, conversion using electricity, and many other form conversion which already introduce to us.
