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
All good guess's but none of those companies made all four of the vehicles I mentioned.
Mercedes comes pretty close but they build engines that powered the vehicles rather than build all of the vehicles themselves.
Mitsu is not European - they are Japanese - and yes, they certainly built airplanes - the WW II Zero was a Mitsu product! Also executive jets and fast prop planes, although the MU-2 was mostly famous for spectacular and unexplained wrecks - including the crash that killed a guy I knew
....Besides producing arms for the Austro-Hungarian military, Škoda also manufactured locomotives, aircraft, ships, machine tools, steam turbines and equipment for power utilities and still does so.
Well Joe your correct. I looked and obviously didn't find this page! Duh, who would have thought to search under the companies name? Your answer is just as good as mine so Bubba I've got to give it to Joe ( although both you and I obviously have much better taste in automobiles. I mean come on! Look at the difference!)
Joe you are up.

Author's note: Apparently when you are looking up a subject to research, spelling the subjects name properly results in better research. Skoda is spelled with a "K" rather than a "C".
. That was for the previous Bugatti contest... My Mom always called those old black Bugatti's "foreign intrigue cars" when they showed up in old spy movies...
. I thought maybe the middle car was a '54 Caddy without it's taillights... until I noticed the hatchback... didn't know any USA car had a hatchback like that... further one looks like a '56 Olds... or Hudson...
