Anything and Everything that is cool, hot, fresh and classic.
CarType is “a comprehensive collection of emblems, car company histories and logos, reviews of typographical and graphical applications, design features and just about anything that is car related.”
What’s interesting is that instead of the typical reviews that most car sites feature, CarType instead focuses on the design elements that go into the cars that we see everyday, including emblems, vents, body lines and more.
