Square body 1-ton

[googles 'bumbershoot...] >>[i]What color did you get? [/i]<< I think it's called 'OcnBlu'.

What “has” to be addressed; differential fluid changes?? ?

I saw this table being finished up at a local woodcutter place, the picture doesn't do it justice. I may have posted this pic before: I build this counter for a customer last year (Elm) :

Ahhh so THAT'S going to be the spin on this analysis, eh? I thought 'all motorists are lazy and 'abuse' their vehicles'? Wouldn't the same 'abuse' on the IC police car have resulted in even GREATER maintenance costs?? You might have to go back to the conspiracy board on this one. whatareyoutalkingabout.

William Crapo Durant [1861-1947] ~

Chief Pontiac [c1715-1769] ~ Cavelier De La LaSalle [1640-1687] ~

Henry Martyn Leland [1843-1932], (I estimate circa 1895) ~ Ransom Eli Olds [1864-1950], circa 1901 ~

Louis [1878-1941], 1916 ~ David Dunbar Buick [1854-1929] (I estimate taken circa 1880) ~

Trucks & SUVs are the vast vast vast majority of the market. And : 14 MPG > 19 MPG = 33% increase in 20 years... from heavier trucks with a lot more power.

Got my ducks in a row; heading back to the dealer tomm. Crap... I just realized what this would do to my Average Model Year number. It's currently 1966.6... it'll go to 1968.9! Egads!!

Fascinating.

I saw the Memphis Belle in NJ probably about 17-ish years ago.

This one (on CL) has trinacriabob written all over it. 53K miles. https://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/ctd/d/upton-1988-pontiac-bonneville-se/7249566639.html

Ada, Oklahoma ~ Ironically in light of dealer charger install discussions, a huge portion of mid-century dealers were also fuel stations.

Olds- I'd take issue with a number of your statements above, to the point I cannot agree that everything you stated is 100% factual. For one, toyoter has been selling hybrid autos for 23 years, not "10 =/- a couple". prius came out the end of 1997. I'll not go point-by-point, primarily because I cannot quantify your definition of 'perfected'. But I believe you are talking about the general 'ease of everyday use' of the auto (via the mention of interstates & commonplace gas stations). I am of the opinion that there was a point that the auto reached that FOR IT'S TIME. There... I believe that point came about circa 1920 rather than the year 2000 ('a century'). FOR IT'S TIME, the auto had evolved beyond a rare plaything / conversation piece, and had become more & more integral to life. Of course, it was the Model T (debuted in 1908) that afforded that; low price, economical, mass produced, easily serviced, multiple variants. No; there was no interstate in 1920... but there wasn't a need for such at that point. Infrastructure developments encourage alternate use. Prior to WWII, most folk stayed in their general area, and commonly produced a LOT of their own consumables & supplies. They never had to screech to Costco when a snowstorm was coming...
