OK, some answers,

1. in front of the radiator had a nice location for ice and beer...even had a drain hole

2. In 57 Ford outsold Chevy so Jay got it. IN 1959, Chevy sold 1,500,000 cars and beat Ford by about 90,000 units.

4. Rumor had it that the 47 Chevy fastback had the rear end lift at speed. Supposedly hurt sales.

9. Cigarette cellophane was used to roughly set the timing by putting the cellophane between the points and rotating the distributor until the points opened....you eyeballed the location of the rotor to the cap.

11. Dave got it right...Fingerhut sent a little sample of seat cover material...clear stuff that protected your seats and was hotter than blazes to sit on.

12. Jay hit this one...Sonoco was blue...just like Mark Donahue's Camaro Trans Am car that Sonoco sponsored.

13. Jay also got this one...there were two clear tubes on the package tray that ducted the cold air forward (at the back of your head) since the a/c equipment was in the trunk.

14. Corvairs leaked because they tried elastomeric sealing that got hard with the heat...VW used more mechanical sealing methods. Today, rubber compounds are much better and a Corvair probably doesnt leak as much with new seals.

15. ENCO and ESSO....Don got it as did Daffy....I think ENCO was Northern name and ESSO was Southern...but not sure.

16. Anybody??? Didnt anyone read Donald Duck comic books?????? I had an orange crate filled with them!!! (if anyone remembers orange crates)
