Jay King is the Hemi Trivia Master for today, and should be awarded the respect and admiration that such obscure knowledge deserves. While other men were out memorizing baseball and hockey stats, he was hard at work memorizing mechanical trivia, and was paying attention so very early or very late here (I posted very late at night on purpose) so my hat's off to you and your 1973, Jay. (write me off list with your address and your eagle will fly your way immediately) Honorable mention goes to Eric for accurately finding the page on the club website that features the actual plane that I was referring to. I've asked several questions in the past and nobody really seemed to connect the dots between my focus on putting printed lit up on the website and me asking obscure questions. Next time the article gets held back to make it tougher(!), but I'm very pleased that someone is being more obvious about looking through our reference material! For those of you that have never actually seen what a Hemi looks like, check out this cool ad and other stuff: http://imperialclub.com/Yr/1954/Ads/Hat.jpg http://imperialclub.com/Articles/Hemi50Years/index.htm http://imperialclub.com/Articles/HemiSpotters/index.htm Thanks to all who answered for spending several (or several hundred?) calories thinking about this. I'll try to come up with something even more obscure on the next one. -Kenyon --- Jay King <j_king@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, list, > > The secret is that it wasn't an automobile; the > Chrysler hemi was developed for fighter aircraft > during World War II. > > Jay King > Meridian, Mississippi > <a href=mailto:j_king@xxxxxxxxx>j_king@xxxxxxxxx</a> > Kenyon Wills ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
