Question of the day

@moe-parr, Jack is Canadian. They count differently up there. 😂

@jkuvakas

John, I didn't realize that. Canadian Pontiacs were quite different from their U.S. counterparts, more Chevrolet-ish. Thanks for pointing that out!

Does this have anything to do with displacement capacity adherence under the jurisdiction of the Royal Metric Police?

@john-barry, I think it goes much farther than that. The RMP is only a few centuries old. This goes all the way back to the land bridge and Leif Erickson, the "father of all cylinders." As you are aware of the wisdom of the great philosopher of the 29th Century, Weird Al Yankovic, (ever notice how his initials are "WAY"?), "Some things resist change and some should never be."

Not for the first time,I garner knowledge at the feet of the master......You should check and see if that Paul Harvey job is still open over at CKLW  

Ford tractor-  I was 11-

1980, on the worst car ever built in the USA, a brand-spankin'-new Pontiac Phoenix, one of the infamous GM "X-bodies".  These cars had such a ballyhoo leading up to their release that over 1MM sold that 1st year --yet by 1985 few were ever seen on the roads.

My neighbor let his son and me, age 12, learn to drive using their 1955 Pontiac sedan, 6 cylinder, 3 on the tree.  Thankfully we lived in the country.

Jack, for 1955 I believe Pontiac was V-8 only.

It was a Canadian Pontiac; shorter and produced with Chevy chassis and drive train.  Both 6 and V-8 were available.

Sorry Jack, I didn't realize that you were a resident of our "Neighbor to the North"!

When I was 15 in our family's used 1964 Ford Falcon 2 dr. sedan just like this:

Ours didn't have the bodyside moulding.
