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

They had nothing but trouble with the air cooled one in the Tbird as they often overheated and raised the interior temp quite a bit. My brother and I restored a 57 Bird for his wife MANY years ago (damn time flies) who still has it.

I had one in my 55 and never had a lick of problems with it. All the early T Birds were hot inside especially 55's. In 56 they added vent wings to the window frames and side vents to the fenders. The vent wings were the best interior cooling answer. They did more for interion cooling then the side vents. That being said I put air in mine in the sixty's. Cruise control also!

Now they do it by having the window roll down a half inch when you pull on the handle, then roll up that half inch when you shut the door. I HATE IT, drives me crazy every time I go to open one of those doors, you think the door is going to open in one movement as you pull on the door handle. But NOOOOOO you pull on the door handle the window rolls down then the door opens, its' so damn stupid.
