Doggone it, I'm determined to come up with a legitimate Pop Quiz that lasts longer than 24 hours before somebody gets it right, so here 'tis! (Forewarned is forearmed: If you aren't into genuine trivia, stop right here! )
For everyone else, take a look at the 1955 Plymouth Savoy Six posted by Craig Parslow this morning:
Fred Fox had a Turning Wheels feature article on Studebaker Scotsman pickup trucks years ago. Fred postulated that Studebaker's Scotsman pickup was the first in the automotive industry to use "something."
However, we later determined that six-cylinder 1955 Plymouths, like the one Craig posted, predated what Fred (and yours truly and 'most everyone else) thought might have been a Studebaker "first."
Several of Fred's later Turning Wheels Recaps about the Scotsman truck article detailed that "something" RE: 1955 Plymouth Sixes versus Studebaker Scotsman Pickups, including photo documentation supplied by yours truly.
What was it?
(Here's where you folks who keep your Turning Wheels and have a Precision Systems / Lulu Turning Wheels Index have a leg up.)
The first poster to correctly answer the question wins their choice of:
1. Two NOS Studebaker Red Ball stationery envelopes
OR
2. One copy of the 1962 Lark Pace Car mailer just reprinted.
Good luck, sleuths. (As usual, previous Pop Quiz winners please refrain from answering for the first 24 hours. Thanks.) BP
