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
Well you ruined it by leaving the sign seen on the ground. It's from the Movie Vanishing point and it's a 1970 Dodge Challenger. I only had to google to get the exact year car. It is dirty because I guess they wanted to leave it as is. I was just a kid and even I noticed watching the movie that it was a Camaro they ran into the tractors at the end.
In the photo i took i cant see the writing:thumbup::thumbup: ,but after i posted it i saw it but didnt know how to remome it. if it was a car i could fix it .not a computer,i took this picture at Floyd Garretts Musuem in Severville Tenn .home of Dolly Parton .the plaque says it is 1 of 4 Challengere ,this one is a hemi ,1 was a 440and 2 were 318 and a 69 Camaro for crash scne at end of movie ,,it is your floor Martin i will try to do better nexy time,LOL O Yea, still has movie dirt never washed Good Job.
Ok an easy one, what sixties American made car had a windshield that was I believe over an inch lower in height with the convertible than the hardtop. A very noticeable difference it darn near looks like 2 inches to me.
Nope ALL 66-67 Chevelles had the same windshield, we are talking sedans, hardtops, wagons, Elcamino, convertibles, ALL of them used the same one. Not only that but of course every Skylark, Tempest, Cutless and every one of their bodies used the same as the Chevelle one too!
A car that has not been washed in 42 years? Could be any one of mine! Can't remember the last time ANY of 'em saw soap & water, never mind wax & polish or a vacuum.
Sounds like something Ford would do. The 56 had a couple of different windshields. If I remember correctly one fit the convertible, the Crown Victoria and Victoria and the other fit all other car models. But we are talking 60's not 50's but I'm thinking Ford of some sort.
Nope, not any of those. Though understand it certainly could be one someone guesses but I don't know for a fact, I am looking at a particular car that I know for a fact.
The Corvair isn't what I was thinking of but scanning thru photos if it is any different you can't tell from that. The one I am thinking of there is a most definite difference even with photos.
I was wrong in that the sedan is different. I will call my glass man tomorrow to confirm. But I am darn sure the convertible and hardtop are the same. I am surprised to see that the sedan is different, I didn't know that and may find that the convertible is different too, we will see.
I will still be wrong ,because this is not the car you were looking for. just as a point of refrence,the sedan 300 wag on and elcamenioand 4dr windsheild are 22 in tall measured in center from bottom to top,the hardtop and convertible are 21 inches ,but the convertible is layed back making it shorter probably somthing to do with top fitment ,I dont really know.also the trim around windsheild on a convertible is 1 in wider at top ,again probably fitment,I will go down to my shop today and measure mine to confitm.
I didn't know that. The 64-65 are all the same, hmmm
Listen, you have named one and it's your floor.
I was thinking of the F body, 1967-69 Camaro Firebird. Oh dear God, now I go looking for some photos and the damn thing doesn't look shorter at all! Geeeez when I see these cars the darn convertible looks chopped! Ok, I blew this question, it's your floor.
Sorry ,i was going by a site on web Trivia questions and answers classic ca,rs. it stated John Dolorean ,which didnt sound right 9,i also answered Lee I did a search you are correct with Lee Iacocca ,the article was misprinted or just Wrong ,you are correct ,You have the floor ,Sorry for confusion.
It just so happens I'm currently reading Delorean's " On a clear day you can see General Motors" He started with Packard and then went to GM and then to his own car. Didn't work for Ford. Donald Frey was head engineer under Iaccoca on the Mustang project but never worked for Chrysler. Nope it had to be Iaccoca.
As long as we're talking about Delorean, lets ask a question about his car.
During the development of Delorean's Stainless Steel wonder they had a under steer problem.
How was it rectified?
Well apparently there is a bunch of you that bought stock in the Delorean company! !5's in the rear, 14's in the front. Crummy solution if you ask me.
