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
I promised not to let this drag out so here's the answer.
This is a 1910 Austro Daimler. Aluminum panaled and in the aerodynamic style of "Tulpenform" ( tulip form) It was a sport racer of its day. The designer?
Iremember some of those odd vinyl tops on the maverick,,and on a Plymouth sattalite with a Green flowerdy top,,i think it was call mod top,,i worked with a lady that bought one new,

Those Houndstooth designs were available for the 1970-71 Mercury Cougar with coordinating seat material. I also believe the Kaiser Dragon could be had with a very similar pattern In the fifties.
There was a Merc dealership across the street from the Ford dealership I worked at in the 60's and 70's. I remember that top very well. Goat Vomit Yellow.
