FactTemplar's cars came standard with a compass and a Kodak camera — a strange-sounding duo of standard equipment for a car in 1917.
The first Templar, launched 1917 by the Lakewood, Ohio maker ("the pioneer builder of quality small cars," named for the Knights Templar), had a four-cylinder overhead-valve 3.2 L engine, a three-speed transmission, and a 118 in (3,000 mm) wheelbase. WWI curtailed early production (only ~150 cars in 1918, rising to 1,800 in 1919), but the page states the 1921 coupe was "still basically the 1917 car" — this entry is scoped through 1921, the last year confirmed unchanged before a 1923 reorganization began work on a new six-cylinder engine.

The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
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.
