My mistake, you're correct, my 54 still had a 6 volt and my 56 pannel had the 12 volt.

16. Didn't Tucker's have padded dashes?

You're right about the Tucker.

BTW, the way 11 is worded the answer is 40.8 c.i.

And to Richards GTO alternatives you can add Garbage Truck Option (with apologies to you Tiger fans).

Also the first F series was the '48 F-1, F-2, etc. (hate it when I see an ad for a 1949 F150, grrr)

5. January 1, 1968
