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
The first Honda cars in the USA were the N600 sedans. I was thinking it was a the N360, but checked Wikipedia first. The 360 came first for Japan, but the 600 cc model was targeted for export to the Us and Britain -- they realized the 360 needed more power for US driving. 1960s technology -- only 30 mpg, 0-60 in 19 seconds, 77 mph top speed. You'd think the 600 would have done better. Heck, put a modern 500cc Honda engine in there and I bet it would! 750, maybe... would be dangerous then!
Yeah you're right, I withdraw the floor out from under you. Just kidding, first drive in huh? I KNOW I have seen this someone but I can't for the life of me remember. I know I sure saw a lot of movies in them. I had four of them within 6 or seven miles of my home. A cool little one screener all the way up to I think it was six. When the little one screener closed up I went by on my bike and went into the building. Somewhere in my boxes of treasures I have a foot or so of film from the "It's intermission time" with the dancing soda cups.
I'm sure we could keep a thread going on our Drive In memories but I am afraid it would not meet Hotrodders.com guidelines. It would, however, make really interesting reading. :thumbup::nono::drool:
By the way this dash is in a four door parts car that my boss bought for his daughters two door wagon, never has done any thing on it and probably won't. Like me he is overwhelmed with all the projects. But damn that two door wagon is pretty cool.
And this parts car, a lot of people would love to have it, nearly rust free, a very solid car.
It was indeed. Camden I think. You are at bat sir.
