Subject: RE: BS: Oldest Car on the Mudcat
Oh yes, i USED to have a '67 Dodge Dart, slant 6, push button transmission. Or was it a Plymouth Valiant,,,yes, and it's name was
Prince Valiant. Everything made sense when you lifted the hood you
could tell what everything was. You could get to the oil filter with out scraping your knuckles, and it was so dependable. the Lug nuts tightened in opposite directions, depending on which side (driver, passenger) of the car they were on...i guess it was engineered that way
so that the wheels would always be tightening as they drove, i bet a lot of folks (or foolks) learned that the hard way by trying to loosen the nuts by turning the wrong way til they snapped....but what a machine!
