Worked for me but I didn't fare to well with my answers, or lack thereof.

I just checked it. It did work for me. Maybe try coping and pasting into the address bar of your browser?

Link works but a couple of bones to pick. Valiant was an independent brand in 1960, not a Plymouth. And the fastest 0-60 production car has to be the Tesla Model S in ludicrous mode. Other than that, I'm really dumb about this stuff.

Quibble and bone pick with the authors. I simply posted it. LOL.
BTW:Does the Tesla qualify under the topic of "old car trivia"?

Since I remember the 62 Impala from when I was in high school I guess I don't think of it as an old car. Sigh. If the young engineers hadn't choked, their 62 Dodge would have defeated Don Nicholson's 409 in the finals at Indy that year. Who knows about 0-60? Not the car buff magazines, their primary responsibility is to their advertisers. I suppose there's a valid argument that the 420 bhp Dodge wasn't exactly a production car.

Good one. I didn't know all, but I knew a few. The RR badge went to black when one of the "Rs" died. As for the 4-4-2, in 1965, one of the 4s stood for 400 cu.in.

I think was the Austin 7 that was the first car with the standard clutch, brake, and gas pedal arrangement.
What part is the same on virtually every car made from 1900 - today?
Schrader valve to inflate tires.

Fascinating. I knew many of those. One additional thing about the Ford Model T. Henry Ford was buying his motors from local machine shops when they were built at the Highland Park facility. He specified that the crates the motors were shipped in had to be built from a specific species of hardwood and the boards were to be specific dimensions. The crates, when disassembled became the floor boards for the car the motor was installed in. Henry was a shrewd businessman for sure.

Very interesting. Yes, he was a shrewd business man. Too bad he was not known for being a great human being.
