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

Well Brian I expect your feel very smug right now. Nobody has given the correct answer. We smug no more my friend I have solved the puzzle!

I use to own the very same automobile your pic was taken from. I didn't recognize it at first because I could never find the factory skirts. Apparently the new owner had better luck. Below is a picture of me driving this wonderful vehicle!

Gearhead, you "thanked" me, does that mean I'm right?

I have a great question so tell me I'm right. :D You could have asked me to describe how where the pinch welds where and how those fenders are attached or anything else about that car, I restored one once. :D

Interesting. I couldn't put that gas door with the wire wheels let alone Rudge type KO's. I didn't remember having ever seen that type door on a car that wasn't a whole lot newer. The last wires went on a production car in the early 80's.
I figured it was from the Black Hawk and thought Ferrari but dismissed it because of the door.

Being I am not a Ferrari or a wire wheel expert I have no idea the vintage of those wheels. I had to assume being this place has pretty much the best of the best cars they are correct restorations, I could be wrong in that.

What sixties car did this independent rear end come from? I painted one of these cars years ago and was blown away when I saw this setup.

Now some of you may be able to cheat, don't cheat just guess.

I can't remember the model name but I believe it was Honda first Automobile introduced in America. It had a 650 or 750 cc motor. It may have been called the Civic but I'm not sure. As I remember you could see the back side of the door skin as you sat in the car. Introduced in the late sixties early seventies. Haven't seen one in years !
BB :thumbup:
ps I'm pretty sure it was a 650 cc engine.

Gearhead gets it but I wanted the model too, we'll slide and give it to him.


It was a 66 S600 Roadster but they made coupes too.





I remember sitting in that car and you could put your right hand over onto the passenger door without so much as a stretch. :D
