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.

See this thread for an example of how it goes: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/off-topic-discussion/trivia/1454/page1/

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

That is what I am confused about. The list is a mile long on three of them, then the other (the Cameo) looks "original" but something is wrong with all of them? One thing that is wrong like the grilles being chromed or something like that?

Can you re-phrase the question?

I Just noticed that the Cameo isn't stock, it has head rests. It looks like the seats in all of them are a bit high, it is the seats?

Yes sir, I never mean any harm with anything I post. Hope it doesn't come across that way. I have owned all three of the "big three" and have had no major problems with any of them that wasn't self inflicted. Like the old saying goes "you can destroy an anvil with a feather if you try hard enough" :mwink::thumbup:

Got Bruce by a hair



Yep, you got it. The emblem bolt patterns are the same and can be bolted to either side. The recessed area w/ the series # 3100, 3200, etc. is supposed to be to the rear, with the rocket shaped chrome to the front. Your floor my Man. Ha Ha Ha:mwink: Nolan

Not sure if this was directed at the original answeree or not, but the "brewster fords" were brewster bodies mounted on ford chassis. Brewster built bodies for Rolls-Royce in Springfield until the depression when Rolls stopped production at the Sprigfield plant. Brewster then began making bodies that used the ford V-8 chassis 1934-1936. They offered 4 different body styles, but most were the "touring" body that is pictured. They made around 130-135 "brewster" Fords. Hope I didn't jump in line, If I was out of turn forgive me:spank:
