I didn't think GM had a V8 until '55. Didn't '54 and earlier cars have straight 8's in them?

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Did all 1954 century's have the 322?
The Century was new in 1953. There were two models in 53, the Century Auto and the Century Manual, both had the V8.Bob
