Saturday in Wisconsin

[Prof]

Small car show, not many mopars...so a little quiz for the younger set...

Here are some pictures that if you are over fifty you should be able to identify:

What's this little shiny thing with the pointers on it?

Why would you have this on your car?

What was this called?

One of the finest Max Wedges I have ever seen:

I love wagons no matter what the make:

Four pics of a total, balls to the wall, spare no expense build:

This is a BIG, BIG block!

This is some meat...and how I would like to see the tires on my truck:

The last pictures are for Silverback:

I hope you enjoyed...and the questions will be seen again on the midterm.

Nice Pics Roy!!

1. That is the Timing Advance indicator.

2. That dashboard push button tranny, was a Hydromatic. (?)


How'd I do?

 

[Prof]

How would I know, I'm not old! We need FstJack or Silverback to respond.

Bahahahaha!!!!!! Nice!

VERY cool stuff, Roy!

....... and I knew all of those, by the way. ..... Even the "quick-change". But, then again.... I'm an old fart trapped in a young (fat) body.

SWEEET Wedge! :rock:

Sorry, you only got 50%. The push button tranny was a TorqueFlite.

The Hydromatic was a GM tranny.

DAMNIT!!! I thought it was a PowerFlite.... :dontknow: Guess I don't know as much as I thought. ........ Back to the books! :burnout:

 

[Prof]

How about the "meats" on that yellow nova?

Interesting to know what kind of tires those are.... But, really, I never like the "Pro-Street" cars. I've seen too many GREAT cars that have been CHOPPED up by some guy to make one. It's a damn shame, IMO.

Actually they had both, Torqueflite and PowerFlite!
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]For 1960, Chrysler standardized the buttons - R-N-D-2-1 on the Torqueflite and R-N-D-L on the Powerflite. [/FONT]

And I should have known that wasn't a GM:dontknow::banghead:

Nice pics, Roy....Thanks.

Awesome pics, looked like some really great cars there. Never seen a picture of a push button auto. Thanks for the education....I bet those things were the "cat's meow" back in the day.

 

[ILtemprd]

[Hamrhead]

^^ Now that was a bad-ass setup!!:rock: :rock:



Nice Pics Roy - Thanks!

The pushbuttons were great for drag racing. The lever on the side of the buttons was for park.

 

[mopower1958]

Great pics Roy. I nominate you as the NATS Photographer. You will see plenty of Super Stockers,HEMI's,426 Max Wedges, 440 Six Packs, 340 T/A's and a few WINGS!!
