Introducing our August cover—Issue #03: The Ford Model A

Arriving in late 1927 as a 1928 model, the Ford Model A replaced the legendary Model T after nearly two decades of production. By then, the automotive world had changed. Drivers wanted more power, stronger brakes, conventional controls, improved comfort and styling that could compete with newer offerings from Chevrolet and other manufacturers.

Under the hood, the Model A featured a 201-cubic-inch four-cylinder engine producing 40 horsepower, roughly twice the output of the 20-horsepower Model T. It also introduced a conventional three-speed manual transmission, four-wheel mechanical brakes and a top speed of approximately 60 mph, compared with around 40 mph for its predecessor.

Prices started at $385 for the Roadster, equivalent to approximately $7,400 today. The $495 Coupe and Tudor Sedan translate to roughly $9,600, while the $570 Fordor Sedan would cost around $11,000 in today’s money.

Nearly five million Model As were produced through 1931, carrying Ford out of the Model T era and helping usher the company into the age of the modern automobile.

French electronic music producer Kavinsky has passed away at 50 after being found at his Paris home Tuesday evening. Born Vincent Belorgey, Kavinsky built a legendary career by transforming the sound and imagery of late-night driving into a world of its own, blending French house, retro synthesizers and the atmosphere of 1980s action films.

His 2010 track “Nightcall” became inseparable from the opening of Drive, helping define the film’s neon-lit mood while introducing his unmistakable sound to a global audience. From “Testarossa Autodrive” to his landmark album OutRun, Ferraris, highways, arcade racers and fictional car chases remained central to his music, creating a lasting soundtrack for anyone who has ever found freedom behind the wheel after dark.

President Donald Trump visited General Motors’ Milford Proving Ground in Michigan, where he toured the automaker’s historic testing facility, watched high-performance driving demonstrations, and signed a special-edition Chevrolet Corvette built to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary.

President Trump’s visit centered on American manufacturing and the domestic auto industry, with the Corvette once again serving as one of General Motors’ most recognizable symbols of U.S. performance engineering and automotive heritage.

A C6 Chevrolet Corvette driver was captured drifting onto a freeway entrance before seamlessly merging into traffic, showcasing the balance and power that have made Chevrolet’s sixth-generation sports car a favorite among enthusiasts.

Produced between 2005 and 2013, the C6 introduced sharper styling, the return of exposed headlights, and a lineup of V8 engines ranging from the LS2 to the 638-horsepower supercharged ZR1. Today, base C6 Corvettes typically sell for around $20,000 to $40,000, while well-kept Grand Sports, Z06s, and the range-topping ZR1 continue to command substantially higher prices as demand for the platform remains strong.
