So TT dash question, any of you guys ever see and hear one?
that one I got, and the 1923 'C' copper cooled. Franklin bought the rights to Kettering's copper-on-steel process and made it work on their cars, until in 1930, when after a quarter million dollar development program introduced the overhead valve/sidedraft air cooled engines that became the standard pattern.32/35. and I got the 1917 chevy D model one correct...that ends up being a trivia question no one gets on car boards.
30 I distinctly remember ford saying, no were good, when asked about bailout money.What changed?
See--I'm not the only one.
The 258 I6 that was their base engine in most things wasn't exactly a fuel miser either, so you may as well get the V8.
But the 258 I-6 had tons of torque and was virtually indestructible--their V-8s, not so much.
So TT dash question, any of you guys ever see and hear one? I have. I was at a small car show at a Chrysler dealer, one of those deals where I was driving by, saw old cars and stopped in. I was walking by a late 50s Fury and stopped when I noticed the sound coming from it sounded like a dead jukebox. A peek inside showed one of these units in action. It sounded pretty dismal but I expect between the beat up 45 and probably a fried needle it couldn't be helped.
Chrysler actually tried this system twice. The original ran standard 45 rpm singles. The second version ran a small size record at I think 16 rpm in an effort to fit more than one track. They were sold specifically through Chrysler in the early 60s. It wasn't really any more successful than the original version though.
