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
he started with buick bought cadalliac added to GM then purchaced Fisher body co and frigidare ,then was fired for second time bacame a stock trader went bankrupy and dieda little later, so his last job would have ben stock trader but non auto related.
All great answers, but the part I'm talking about was metric long before any of that stuff. For several decades, this was the ONLY metric part on a Chevy.
Some Chevrolet engines used 18mm spark plugs as early as 1930. In 1932, Chevy began using 14mm plugs in all their engines, and has continued to use metric spark plugs to this day.
No this car was produced from 1922-1827 ,dont know how many were prodoced though. this is a better picture it is a 1927 Rickenbacker made in Detroit from 1922 - 1927
Its your floor i tried to post a better picture ,having problems with computer. JPG in my carrier 1of1 is how many pictures i posted,give us a hard one.
jpg or jpeg is the format you picture was presented in. One of one refers to the number of pictures you posted.
Tell us about the Rickenbacker engine with two flywheels while I think about a good one. ( I wouldn't have gotten this one if I hadden't just seen a Rickenbacker a month ago!)
You can stash your extra guns and ammo under the benches. You have Jeeves drive while you stand in the back and go for the big kill, watch out for that lion! The hand rails are handy if you happen to lose your balance.
It is a 1920 rolls royce p/u based on a bentletEXP concepy it was built to be a service truck to go to customers homes and service them at home originally built for a Texas Oilman who didnt take it ,was built for RR by brewster & co long island ny ..just a guess LOL
Well your right and your wrong. This doesn't have anything to do with the Bentley EXP 9 F, that car is a current concept. Nor does it have anything with any current Rolls Pickup Truck concepts of today.
What it is is a Factory made Rolls-Royce Service Truck. The only one Rolls made. Manufactured at the Brewster body works in the U.S.A. in 1920 for the sole purpose of servicing ailing Rolls-Royce at the homes of their owners. It would seem that the Rolls clientele objected to having the neighbors see a lesser quality service vehicle arrive at their homes to do servicing or repairs on their cars. My God! What would the neighbors think!. Not only that, if the Rolls couldn't be repaired on site it would be inconceivable to visualize a Rolls-Royce hanging from the hook of a Ford TT Wrecker and being paraded for all the world to see! This vehicle was equipped with a special tow bar so as the Rolls being towed just looked like it was following to close. The chassis, 37WL, it was built on originally was ordered by Mrs. Guggenhiem ( the mining Guggenheim's) but she changed her mind and Brewster used it to build this truck. Brewster was the authorized Rolls-Royce body builders in North America. Pretty neat, huh?
What interests me the most is the windshield design. I wonder what that was all about?
Here's a great article about this Beauty. http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2012/04/custom-1920s-rolls-royce-pickup-truck.html
