Holden HJ

The **Holden HJ** is a series o automobiles which wur produced bi General Motors-Holden’s in Australie frae 1974 tae 1976. The HJ series wis released on 4 October 1974 an wis an improved an faceliftit version o the supersedit Holden HQ series which haed been in production since 1971.

## Model range

Aw HJ models, aside frae the One Tonner, wur easily identified frae the HQ bi haein a squared-aff frontal treatment wi wrap-aroond indicator lichts. The rear o the sedan models featured a new bumper an wraparoond triangular taillichts, while aw ither bodystyles kept the previous HQ's rear stylin.

The mainstream passenger caur range consistit o 4 door sedan an 5 door wagon models in three trim levels.
* Belmont sedan
* Belmont wagon
* Kingswood sedan
* Kingswood wagon
* Premier sedan
* Premier wagon

The performance orientatit Monaro range includit twa-door coupe an fower-door sedan models:
* Monaro LS Coupe
* Monaro GTS coupe
* Monaro GTS sedan

The base model Monaro Coupe wis no carried forrit frae the HQ series an the new range an aa saw the demise o the Monaro GTS350 Coupe an Sedan meaning that the importit Chevrolet 350 cubic inch (5.7 litre) V8 ingine wis nae langer affered in ony Holden model.

Commercial vehicle derivatives includit coupe utility, panel van an cab chassis truck models:
* Utility
* Sandman utility
* Kingswood utility
* Kingswood Sandman utility
* Panel van
* Sandman panel van
* One Tonner

The base model utility an panel van models did no carry the Belmont name which haed been applied tae their HQ series equivalents an they wur marketit simply as the Holden utility an Holden panel van respectively while The Sandman variants wur equipt wi various features frae the Monaro GTS models.

The cab/chassis model wis marketit as the Holden One Tonner, which still uised its awn unique front treatment introduced wi the previous HQ range, an woud continue wi the model till 1980.

## Ingines
2.8 litre an 3.3 litre inline sax cylinder ingines wur available, as wur 4.2 litre an 5.0 litre V8 units. The twa Monaro GTS models wur ae affered wi the aicht cylinder ingines.

## Production
The Holden HJ wis replaced bi the Holden HX series in Julie 1976, HJ production haein totalled 176,202 vehicles.

Ascort

The **Ascort** wis an Australian automobile manufactured bi Continental Coachwork o Sydney frae 1958 tae 1960. It wis basically a Volkswagen Beetle turned intae a fower-seater tourin coupe an featured a roomy, double-skinned body made oot o fiberglass an closely resembled a 1970s Karmann Ghia coupe.  The 1·2-liter Beetle ingine wis modified uisin an Okrasa kit tae produce 54bhp.  The vehicle's total weight wis 33% less nor that o a standard sedan, which made for brisk acceleration.  Mair nor a dozen caurs wur built afore the project collapsed. The Ascort haed a top speed o juist unner 95&nbsp;mph an there wur plans tae fit a 70&nbsp;hp, 1500 cc ingine producin a top speed o well ower 100&nbsp;mph but this wis niver made.

Rover 16

The **Rover 16** wis a medium-sized faimily caur produced bi the Breetish Rover car company atween 1937 an 1940 as a successor tae the Rover Speed 16. It reappeared in 1945 efter WWII an remained on sale till replaced bi the Rover P3 in 1948.

The caur, wi its mildly streamlined form, resembled the existin Rover 10 an the Rover 12 but wis slichtly langer an featurt a mair roondit back end.  The sax-cylinder ohv ingine haed a capacity o 2,147 cc.  A tap speed o 124&nbsp;km/h (77&nbsp;mph) wis claimed. In addition tae the fower-door saloon, a twa-door cabriolet wis available.

A version cawed the 'Rover 14' saloon combined the same body wi a 1,901 cc sax-cylinder ingine.

The Rover 16 saloon returned tae production amaist unchanged efter the war, tho the cabriolet version wis nae langer leetit.

Studebaker Electric

The **Studebaker Electric** wis an automobile produced bi the **Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company** o South Bend, Indiana, a forerunner o the Studebaker Corporation.  The battery-pouered caurs wur sauld frae 1902 tae 1912.

Studebaker entered intae the automobile manufacturin field in 1898 when Frederick S. Fish, as chairman o the executive committee, persuadit the board tae supply $4,000 for the development o an electric vehicle.  Housomeivver, lackin the board’s full support, the project yieldit ane caur.  The company did, housomeivver, enter intae the field o producin bodies for electric taxis through Alexander Pope’s Electric Vehicle Company.

Studebaker formally began production in earnest in 1902, an the company chose battery-pouered electric vehicles acause they wur clean, easily recharged, an wirkt well in urban centers athoot need o refuelin depots (gas stations).

Studebaker Electrics wur available in a variety o body styles, mony o which mimickt the bodies that it haed lang produced for its lucrative passenger carriage line.  These includit the Stanhope, Victoria, an Surrey. A fower-passenger model wis introduced in 1904.

Fish realized early on that Studebaker’s future did no rest in the limited electric caur, but in the petrol-pouered automobile.  Studebaker’s field o expertise wis in body buildin an product distribution, no ingine buildin.  This realization led tae the creation o the Studebaker-Garford automobile in 1904.  The joint agreement wirkt well till 1909-1910 when Garford attemptit tae divert chassis tae its awn brand o automobile, an Studebaker, leukin for an affordable caur tae sell entered intae an agreement wi the E-M-F Company o Detroit.  E-M-F woud build the entire caur, which woud then be distributit through Studebaker wagon dealers.

Still, Studebaker continued tae build electric vehicles till Fish decidit tae begin the process o seizin control o E-M-F in 1909, which Studebaker completit bi 1910.

By 1912, it became conventional wisdom that the future lay in petrol-pouered ingines rather than hivy, sluggish electrics, an the limitit production o electric caurs stopt.  An offeecial annooncement frae the newly re-incorporatit Studebaker Corporation statit:
::*The production o electric automobiles at South Bend haes endit. . . It haes been conductit for nine years athoot muckle success, an ultimately the superiority o the petrol caur (is) apparent.*

Studebaker Flight Hawk

The **Studebaker Flight Hawk** wis the lawest-priced model in the fower-model **Hawk** faimily sports caur line introduced bi Studebaker in 1956.

## Styling

The Flight Hawk wis based on the Champion twa-door coupe which haed been introduced for the 1953 model year.  Lik the ither 1956 Hawks, the Flight Hawk received a new huid, grille, decklid an instrument panel.  Flight Hawks itherwise haed the minimum amoont o exterior chrome an received hubcaps unless full wheel covers wur itherwise ordered frae the factory or optioned throu the dealer.

## Pouer

Unlik the ither Hawks, housomeivver, which wur aw pouered strictly bi V-8 ingines, the Flight Hawk came wi the Champion's 185.6-cubic-inch (3.0-liter) inline sax-cylinder ingine, ratit at 101 horsepouer (75&nbsp;kW).  Teamed wi this ingine coud be aither a standard three-speed manual transmission, the same wi owerdrive, or a three-speed automatic transmission (kent as Flight-O-Matic).

## Available models

The Flight Hawk wis a twa-door pillared coupe (model 56G-C3), which carried a leet price o $1,986.  Housomeivver, for Canadae an ither foreign markets, Studebaker made a pillarless hardtop (model 56G-K7) available.  Nine o the 560 hardtops biggit wur sauld in the U.S., awtho it is no kent hou muckle thay cost when new.

## Production

* Coupe, Model 56G-C3, 4,389 tot, brakken doun bi manufacturin plant:
** 2,508 (South Bend plant)
** 557 (Los Angeles plant)
** 584 (Hamilton, Ont. plant)
** 740 (Exportit tae ither kintras)
* Hardtop, Model 56G-K7, 560 tot, brakken doun bi manufacturin plant:
** 9 (South Bend plant)
** 52 (Hamilton, Ont. plant)
** 499 (Exportit tae ither kintras)

O the fower available Hawks for 1956, the Flight Hawk wis the seicont-maist popular.  The Pouer Hawk, wi 7,095 produced for aw markets, led in sales bi a fairly wide margin.

## Ane-year wonder

Studebaker decidit tae simplify the Hawk line for 1957.  This decision spelled the end for the Flight, Power an Sky Hawks, which wur combined intae the new Siller Hawk series.

A lairge nummer o thir trucks an aa served in the Roushie forces as pairt o aid givin tae the kintra bi the U.S. Efter the war, the M16 1-1/2 Ton Truck model wis the civilian variant produced, wi production lastin frae 1945-1949.

## Design an specifications
The M series sportit a mair aerodynamic shape than maist trucks o the time, wi easily recognisable "wind wing" vents on the driver an passenger windaes, a featur no foond on ony ither mak o American truck durin Warld War II. the licht version o the M series truck wis kent as the Coupe Express, (no tae be ramfeeselt wi the previous Studebaker Coupe Express o 1937-1939).

Ford Vedette

The **Ford Vedette** wis a lairge caur manufactured bi Ford France SA in thair factory in Poissy frae 1948 tae 1954. Introduced at the 1948 Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris, it wis designed entirely in Detroit (resemblin contemporary Mercury models), but featurt the Poissy-made 2158&nbsp;cc *Aquillon* sidevalve V8 ingine o Ford's ''Flathead'' ingine faimily, the same as in pre-war Matford caurs. On the ither haund, the Vedette wis the first caur tae featur the new independent front suspension concept developt bi Earle S. MacPherson, kent the day as MacPherson struts.

## Uneasy beginnings
Due tae the fact that the Poissy factory coud no resume complete automobile production immediately efter the war, mony vital components haed still tae be made bi various subcontractors, which reportedly haed an adverse effect on the quality o the caur an contributit tae its leemitit popularity. Ower the sax years in production, the Vedette wis available in several body styles, rangin frae the oreeginal 4-door fastback  (wi rear "suicide doors") throu the later 4-door saloon, a *Sunliner* 4-door landaulet based on the saloon (wi a roll-doun roof ower the entire cabin), a 2-door *[[Coupé]]* an, based on it, the *Cabriolet Décapotable* (a 2-door convertible).

## Enter Mr. Lehideux
Unner the direction o the new company preses, Mr. François Lehideux, Ford France refresht the caur for 1950, an again in 1952, when the caur finally received a ane-piece windscreen, new interior an bumpers, better brakes, lairger trunk - an a cigarette lichter. The 1952 Mondial de l'Automobile an' a' saw a luxury version o the Vedette, the *Ford Vendôme*, fittit wi the bigger 3923&nbsp;cc *Mistral* V8 ingine, previously uised in Ford France trucks. An' a' debutin in 1952 wis the 5-door, 5-seat *Abeille* (French for "bee") estate wi a twa-piece tailgate, advertised as baith practical (wi a payload o 500&nbsp;kg) an comfortable.

## Enter Mr. Pigozzi
Facin unsatisfactory sales results, as weel as disruptive strikes at the Poissy plant at the turn o the decade, Ford haed been tryin tae dispose o the factory syne shortly efter the end o the war. An opportunity arose in 1954, when Henri-Theodore Pigozzi, the foonder o the increasingly successfu French automakker Simca, wis leukin for a new plant tae expand its operations. Ford France wis merged intae Simca wi baith the Poissy plant an the richts tae aw models manufactured thare - includin a newly-designed new Vedette. The new caur haed debuted awready in Fraunce unner the name o Simca Vedette, but wis sauld as the Ford Vedette in some mercats (includin Swaden, the Netherlands an Germany) at least till 1956.

Ford Comète

The **Ford Comète** (forby kent as the **Simca Comète**) wis a car biggit atween 1951 an 1954 in Fraunce bi the Ford Motor Company's French subsidiary, Ford SAF  Intendit as the luxury model in the range, the Comète's bodywirk wis biggit bi FACEL, who later produced the better-kent Facel Vega luxury caurs unner thair awn name.  The oreeginal ingine wis a 2.2 L V8 produced bi Ford SAF o French design, uised in the Ford Vedette an aa, an a Pont A Mousson 4-speed manual transmission wis uised.

The oreeginal model haed a single, horizontal bar athort the grille wi a chromed shield or bullet in the center, somewha seemilar tae contemporary Studebaker products, amang ithers, an steel wheels wi chromed hubcaps. Awtho the caur's leuks, features an big quality drew admiration, the sma ingine rendered the hivy Comète unnerpouered an unreliable.

In 1953, a new "Monte-Carlo" model wis gien a 3.9 L V8 normally fittit tae Ford trucks; this ingine, befittin its truck heritage, delivered 78&nbsp;kW (105&nbsp;hp) but an' a' plenty o torque. Performance wis muckle improved, but the new ingine did no endear itself tae buyers; it wis no ae kent tae be a "truck ingine", but its lairge ingine displacement meant that its tax horsepouer ratin wis 22CV, makin for hie road taxes.  This new model wis fittit wi wire wheels, a fake huid scoop, an a vera teepically Ford egg-crate grille (vertical an horizontal equally spaced bars).  The French cawed this grille a "coupe-frites": a "french-fry cutter".

Durin the production o the Comète, Ford SAF wis taken ower bi Simca, an the final year's production wis unner the Simca name.

Qashqai leid

**Qashqai** (spelt **Qashqay**, **Kashkai**, **Kashkay**, **Qashqa'i**, an **Qashqayi** anaa) is a Turkic leid spaken bi the Qashqai, an ethnic group livin mainly in the Fars region o Iran. Estimates o the number o Qashqai speakers vary; Ethnologue gies a figure o 1,000,000. The Qashqai language is closely relatit tae Azerbaijani, an some linguists actually consider it tae be a dialect o that leid.

Like Sooth Azerbaijani in Iran, Qashqai uises the Persian modification o the Arabic alphabet. The Qashqai speak Persian, an uise it as their literary leid.

## Note
Turkic leids

The **Turkic leids** constitute a leid faimlie o at least thirty-five leids, spaken bi Turkic fowks athort a vast aurie frae Eastren Europe an the Mediterranean tae Siberie an Wastren Cheenae, an are considered tae be pairt o the proposed Altaic leid faimlie.

Turkic leids are spaken as a native leid bi some 165 tae 180 million fowk; an the total nummer o Turkic speakers is ower 200 million, includin speakers o a seicont leid. The Turkic leid wi the greatest nummer o speakers is Turkis proper, or Anatolien [an Balkan] Turkish, the speakers o whilk accoont for aboot 40% o aw Turkic speakers. Characteristic featurs o Turkis, sic as vowel harmony, agglutination, an lack o grammatical gender, are universal athin the Turkic faimily. There is an aw a hie degree o mutual intelligibility atween the sindry Oghuz leids, whilk include Turkis, Azerbaijani, Turkmen, Qashqai, Gagauz, an Balkan Gagauz Turkis.

Honda Today

This **Honda Today** wis a kei caur produced bi the Japanese automaker Honda beginnin in 1985. Its production endit in 1998.

## History
### Early
The first generation Today wis introduced in September 1985 as a three-door hatchback, on a wheelbase o 2,330&nbsp;mm (91.7&nbsp;in). The Today wis initially launcht wi three different model specifications, wi the entry model bein model 'F', followed bi a model 'M' an the tap o the range 'G'.  It wis powered bi a 2-cylinder (watter-cooled) Honda EH series OHC 545&nbsp;cc ingine, which wis the same as uised in the Acty truck. In a mercat whaur three-cylinder engines war the norm, it wis outdated an wis replaced bi a three-cylinder fower-valve 547&nbsp;cc bi Februar 1988. The rear axle wis a torsion beam wi coil springs. Thegither wi the new regulations in Mairch, 1990 the bumpers war enlarged tae gie the car a lenth o 3,295&nbsp;mm (129.7&nbsp;in), an the ingine wis enlairged tae 656 cc. Bi Aprile 1990 came a permanent fower-wheel drive version wi an independent rear axle.

In Januar 1993, a redesigned Honda Today wis annoonced. The car did no hae a hatchback; in its place wis a trunk lid that opened dounwards lik the 1991 Civic three-door (the Today's rear windae daes no open). The interior is no symmetrical: the driver's seat is slichtly lairger than the front passenger seat. Thir features wur decidit on efter research indicatit that the caur's target audience wur maistly single yung weemen who aften drove alane, wi little need for cargo space. Initially ae available as a twa-door, in Mey 1993 a fower-door version wis addit, named the Today Associe.

The 1993 Today wis available wi twa ingines, a standard 657&nbsp;cc three-cylinder fuel injection ingine, an a hicht ootput version o the same ingine wi MTREC technology, borrowed frae the Honda Beat. Baith ingines wur available wi aither a five-speed manual or a three-speed automatic gearbox. Aw wheel drive (uisin realtime 4WD technology) wis available wi the Q trim level.

For the Today's early-1996 facelift, Honda eliminatit the pickup-style rear door, an replaced it wi a proper hatchback door. This necessitatit some redesign in the rear end, acause the rear windae haed oreeginally wrapt aroond tae the sides.

### End
In licht o the Suzuki Wagon R's success, Honda an' a' devised a minivan-esque kei caur cawed the Honda Life. The first Honda Life launcht in 1997. When the kei caur regulations chynged in October 1998, necessitatin a redesign, the Life received a redesign, while the Today wis axt for guid.

## Media appearances
The Honda Today featurt frequently in Kōsuke Fujishima's anime an manga "You're Under Arrest!" as the main transport for the lead chairacters. The vehicle featurt wis a hichtlie personalized police mini patrol caur wi nitrous oxide, turbo an various ither modifications.
Simca Ariane

The **Simca Ariane** wis a lairge saloon car manufactured frae 1957 tae 1963 bi the French automaker Simca in the factory in Poissy. The Ariane wis creatit bi fittin the body o the umwhile first-generation Simca Vedette wi a 1.3&nbsp;L *Flash* fower cylinder ingine frae the muckle smawer Simca Aronde - a combination focused on economy rather than speedy acceleration. Presentit in Aprile 1957, the Ariane filled the gap atween Aronde an Vedette. In October o the same year, the **Ariane 8** wis presentit - a version pouered bi the same *[[Ford Flathead ingine|Aquillon]]* 2.4&nbsp;L V8 unit that pouered the Vedette. The Ariane 8 effectively replaced the umwhile Simca Trianon, which wis a bottom-o-the-range Vedette, as the latter wis moved upmarket. The Ariane wis manufactured till 1963, wi 166,363 produced. 
The Ariane Miramas, are made in Argentinae bi Metalmecánica. Approx. 507 units built till 1967 in twa versions: "Std" and "Lujo".

Opel Blitz

**Opel Blitz** wis the name gien tae various German licht an middle-wecht trucks biggit bi Opel atween 1930 an 1975.

During the years preceding Warld War II Opel wis Germany's lairgest truck producer.   The Blitz name wis first applee'd tae an Opel truck in 1930 an bi 1934 thare war fower base versions offered o the 1 tonne model alang wi fourteen versions o the lairger 2/2½ tonne trucks.

Frae 1939 onwards the 3-ton version wis uised frequently throughoot Warld War II, amang ither things as service vehicle for the Messerschmitt Me 323.

A hauf-trackt version, uisin tracks an suspension based on that uised on the Universal Carrier, wis an aa produced as the *[[Maultier|Opel Maultier]]* (mule). In Europe this truck wis considered General Motors contreibution tae German successes.

It is an' a' argued that Opel, a subsidiary o GM, uised forced labor tae reap unprecedentit profits.  Housomeivver, tae wha degree GM controlled Opel at the time can be arguit, but it is clear that GM did in fact play a role in givin Nazi Germany the Opel Blitz truck.

Frae 1973 tae 1987 a successor vehicle produced bi Bedford Vehicles o Luton, an based on the Bedford CF, wis sauld in some markets as the "Bedford Blitz".

SEAT 1400

The **SEAT 1400** wis the first caur produced bi SEAT, it wis a rebrandit Fiat 1400, itself Fiat’s first integratit chassis model. The caur wis a sma fower door sedan: components wur shipt as CKD kits frae Italy an assembled bi SEAT at their new plant in Barcelona's Zona Franca atween 1953 an 1964.

## Chronologie

:* The first SEAT 1400, affered atween 1953 an 1955, incorporatit a 1395 cc fower cylinder watercooled Fiat ingine wi a claimed ootput o 44 bhp an top speed o 116 km/h (72 mph).
:* The SEAT 1400 A, the first revision, launcht for 1955 wis a modernised version o the original 1400, based on the Fiat 1400 A which haed appeared frae Turin the previous year. Publisht pouer ootput wis nou raised tae 50 bhp an the top speed tae 125 km/h (78 mph).
:* The SEAT 1400 B appearin for 1957 retained its predecessor’s bodywirk but featured a revised front grill an affered a twa tone paint scheme. In addition tae the sedan, a five door station wagon an commercial delivery truck version wur available. Claimed ingine ootput an maximum speed for the sedan wur nou 58 bhp an 135 km/h (84 mph). This version o the 1400 woud continue in production till 1964.
:* The SEAT 1400 C wis introduced in 1960. The modern Pininfarina styled body, came frae the recently introduced Fiat 1800. The previous SEAT 1400 B remained in production: the twa caurs wur affered in parallel, sharin the same ingine, tho the newer caur wis langer an, it appears, slichtly hivier than the auld. The decision tae fit the auld fower cylinder unit in the new bodied SEAT rather than tae tool up for assembly in Catalonie o the new sax cylinder ingines bein fittit bi Fiat in the new bodied caurs appears tae hae been taken on cost grunds: disposable incomes in Spain at this time wur far lawer than those in Italy. In 1963 a five door estate version o the 1400 C appeared, featurin a twa piece tailgate. The introduction o a diesel ingined version woud hae tae await the successor model, housomeivver.

Bi 1964, when the caur wis replacit bi the SEAT 1500, 82.894 examples coverin fower distinctively different versions o the 1400 haed been produced.
