FactPlymouth launched this entry-level line in 1951 as the Korean War was choking off steel and metal for civilian cars.
The Plymouth Concord is a full-size car produced by Plymouth between 1951 and 1952, the least expensive model in the lineup and the replacement for the Deluxe (short wheelbase). The line was introduced in 1951 when "war demands nearly eliminated auto production and restricted access to key metals", referring to the Korean War, with body styles unchanged from the previous year: a three-passenger business coupe (with cargo space behind the front bench seat), a fastback two-door sedan, or an all-metal two-door Suburban station wagon. The Concord series was available in a simple Deluxe trim level; the Suburban wagon could also be had in a Special Savoy trim with better upholstery, arm rests, assist straps, storage compartments and chrome exterior window and belt line trim. The engine was a 217.8 cu in (3.6 L) six of 97 brake horsepower, with a 3-speed manual transmission (or 3-speed with overdrive) on a 111 in wheelbase, 188.125 in long. The 1952 model year included minor changes to medallions, hood ornament and script nameplates and, after midyear, an optional electric overdrive unit (for speeds over 25 mph) for the manual transmission; no automatic transmission was available. The Concord line was dropped for 1953 and replaced by the Cambridge for the lowest trim level.

The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
