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.
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
Are the knock-offs real or fake? Looks like lug nuts behind the wires... Real knock-offs would make it a European car, likely British...
Could it be a Rolls or Bentley (basically the same car...)
center cap on wheel seems to be a cobra But it has jack hole in body so it must be an import ,gas lid is on rear side so it may be a right hand drive rounded wheel wells low side molding and length from back of door to rear of wheel well apears a sport car mabe english i will try austin healy
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. 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.

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.
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.
I am disqualified because I searched, based on Gearheads reply. This is a cool Utube video that shows a running bare chassis. Just remember if you watch the video you have disqualified yourself too :nono:
I had a honda i think it was 1970 it had a 500cc motorcycle engine sold new at nally chevy in atlanta the best i can remenber it had indoard brakes like a motorcycle i can tell from picture but my guess is a early honda as for questionabout farrari wheels they apear to be bbs wheels which were used on several euroapean cars probbaly farrari also exept these appear to have cast or billet outer bands
I didn't answer since I googled it but the site I looked at said the engine would turn 8500 rpm's and would run 100 mph. Kind of amazing for its size.
