The latest issue of Automobile Quarterly (50-4) salutes the 100th
Anniversary of Chevrolet (200 million Chevrolets built!) with a really nice story
on Lois Chevrolet.
Included also is a multi-page spread on the Pontiac Tempest and it's unique
Corvair based rear mounted Powerglide transmission (split-torque
principal)!
Very interesting article on the steps it took Pontiac to create there
unique "marriage". As usual they have included an excellent series of archival
pictures to go with it.
They also discuss the Pontiac 4 cylinder engine and the factory built 421SD
racing cars and wagons!
I really liked the Le Mans Fleur-de-lis convertible show car!!!!
Very well done story!
