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
Ok Ok - since no-one else has guessed it, I'll spoil everyone's fun
I'm surprised no-one has recognized it! It's so obvious! It is a combination USB port/CD player/GPS/8-track and cassette deck/Onstar/hands free cell phone adapter and charger!
Isn't it incredible how far we have came with that. My God, think about a turn table, then reel to reel, now we have an ipod the size of three cigarettes but half as thick in our pocket with a thousand songs on it!

Hey Brian, my iPod (32 GB) has 1300 songs and there is room for at least twice that number more What I love about these little units is more the ability of getting the better songs on an album without having all the crap tracks as well in a size that is manageable. I remember having 800 albums and the chore of moving them as well as the 7 pieces that made up my stereo system (which I recently picked up a replacement)
Yes, it's a '55 Chevy; but no, it wasn't built by the Barris Brothers
If you look closely, one of the builders' trademarks is clearly visible in the picture
I'll go out on a limb and say The Roman Chariot shop. I believe the design feature you should notice is the body feature where the Lakes pipe leaves the front fender.
I think this is the car built by Paul Savelsky, in late 50s he competed against names iike Barris ,Roth and Starbird and Won top honors dont remember how many but it was several,
the headlights and 58 ford sidetrim are a giveaway as is the White interior.
I did recognize the front end " trademark " on this car and it sent me to Google so I'm not going to spoil the answer to this question ------right now. That being said the owner used two custom shops for this build, one being better known than the other. The car was built in the 60's. Tail lights were off a 64 Olds.
Nice car.
The first thing I thought of is how the grille looks like a local 56 T Bird built at "Joe Ortez custom shop" in San Leandro.....but I suspect he just copied this guys work. LOL
Wrong part of the country
They also built a radical Dodge truck in the mid-60's
