We started a trivia thread over at another forum and it has been a lot of fun.

Here are the ground rules. It starts with one question. The first reply with the right answer gets the floor for a new question. It continues like that unless, A) the person who has the floor doesn't ask a new question, or B) no one gets the correct answer. In that case, the person with the floor asks a new question. No more than one question on the floor at a time, and discussion/clarification is welcome until the floor is taken over by a new question.

See this thread for an example of how it goes: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/off-topic-discussion/trivia/1454/page1/

First question: In the 1952 Indy 500, what type of fuel was burned in the record-setting pole-position #28 car? Hint: it won pole position by a full 4 mph over the second-place Ferrari

1ownerT, that must have been an aftermarket hood ornament made to fit '40s GMs. Either that or it was super rare.

That Hispano Suiza is a sweet car. I think I saw one of those (maybe that one) at Jay Leno's garage on My Classic Car.

Well if nobody's going to ask a question, I will....

When was the largest American unibody car first released, and what make and model was it?

OK, here we go.

Buick had an auto trans from 1948-52 called a Dynaflow.

What TWO tools are required to check and set the 'torque ball' drag?

Bonus question, (like there are prizes...right?) What is the specification- between what numbers- on this setting.

not really, but because of the generallity of the way I wrote the question last night, I have to give it to you... the answer I was looking for was Dec 20 1989.. Chrysler used the Kenosha plant to produce there Dodge Omni's and Plymouth Horizions from sometime in 1987- Dec 20 1989 when they stop'd making them..

1962 406 Ford has that bore, stroke, and compression ratio, but is a 6v (3-2's), not an 8v (2-4's). As far as I know, 2-4's weren't available until the 427 came out. But maybe I'm about to learn something.

That's my official guess. - '62 FoMoCo 406

Joe G I am looking at my 1963 Motors auto repair manual.It has 1962 two fours and 1963 three two,s.
It is under ford,thunderbird,edsel.Of course it,s just a book it could be wrong.
I am going to go ahead and give it to Nightrider.He was close enough and hasn,t had a turn yet.
Nightrider what,s your question?
