Re: AUTOMOTIVE TRIVA QUESTION

Dave,

I was thinking of Stude also, but for two things.

First, having merged with Packard in '54 to form S-P, Studebaker would technically be the same "manufacturer" as Packard. Yet, even that point may be moot, as the earliet reference to the "Twin Traction" differential being used in a Studebaker that I could find was for a 1957 model - though that was technically built in calendar year 1956.

Hmm, wonder if this is another one of John's infamous trick questions. For all we know the car he's referring to might very well be in the middle of Lake Erie - resting at the bottom. LOL!

Anyone else have a good guess?
