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 ?

'64.

Plymouth Arrow?

Hey, what about that Ram Air knob question, Rog? (see my previous post)

 

Nope, the knob opened the exhaust 🙂


1971 Plymouth Cricket AKA the Hellman Avenger (English, this car was impoted to America to compete with the Vega and Pinto)

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