kirban 2 cents worth

slogn....you nailed the Buick question! Correct very visible is the plug in the headliner along side the factory switch....person that said hand crank was on the rite track but did not give the answer I was seeking.

Send me a PM your name & address and list what you won before so I do not duplicate.

I'm pretty sure I gave that answer 2 days ago, I take it the "plug" was the answer you were looking for???? I should have rephrased my question

Triva Update

New Trivia Question, Posted 6/2/09, Post #1090

Here is the question:

Its the early 1960s to mid 1960s.....I am thinking of a feature that was part of 99% of the performance cars during that time frame that you never see in any of the current muscle cars of today.

Read the clues carefully its a feature not an option.

What feature am I referring to????
Virtually none of the newer performance cars have it today even our turbo regals do not have it!

This feature is not engine related.
The feature is not related to the drivetrain in any way

Here is a list of the wrong answers:
1) Real working hood scoops
2) Drum brakes
3) carburetor(s)
4) column mounted tach
5) "swiss cheese" frame
6) Over 400 Cu Inches of motor
7) Steel Rims
8) Bias Ply Tires
9) A little light on the dash that says "cold"
10) POLYGLASS tires
11) true dual exhaust
12) Bench seat
13) big chrome bumpers
14) points distributors
15) non retractable lap belts
16) non locking steering column
17) 3 on the tree
18) dash mounted ignition switch
19) manual chokes
20) real sheet metal that doesn't crumple


Is no one guessing at the Hurst question

I gave the answer to the Hurst question since its was in the one book and on my DVDs it is the VW bug and Bus bumper guards Hurst made in the mid 1950s and eventually VW made their own.

I am going away until friday nite so I can't view or post until late tomorrow nite.....all the above answers are wrong on the feature on the early and mid 1960s that I am seeking.

Member the feature is not engine drivetrain related.....good guesses but wrong.

Additional clue: It is something very visible...... (54rich can add that clue)

gotta run......til late tomorrow nite.....
