Buick was the "Doctor's Car" not Chevy Ford ended the Flathead V-8 in 1953 and introduced the OHV Y-Block in 1954, A year before Chevy had an OHV V-8. Yes I agree that the SBC is an important engine but I expected more from R&T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grbeck Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I work part time for Carlisle Productions, which puts on great shows every year. With each show comes a free program that includes articles related to that show. One year the giveaway car at the Chrysler Show was a stock, all-original 1964 Dodge Polara sedan...which was described in the program as having a 440 cubic inch V-8 engine. Which, of course, didn't debut until 1966. Maybe we should hire ourselves out as freelance writers or fact-checkers. There must be some way to make money off of this knowledge of automotive trivia...
