Wait a sec. The only dash-mounted control I recall on those cars was the Ram Air knob, which opened up the hood scoops.

Next question ;

What was the first modern American car with a overhead cam engine ?

Pontiac again, with the Sprint OHC 6. Available with a 4bbl carb, and up to 215hp!


You in a Pontiac mood today?

 

Oooh, your good, very good

This one is so obscure that I will guarantee that no one will EVER get this ;

When Chevy and Ford came out with the Pinto and Vega, what did Plymouth come out with ?

Yup, Transverse Torsion Bar suspension. It had some very strange geometry issues under hard cornering.
