    I love automotive trivia! :-) I read my collection of several thousand car magazines cover-to-cover! They ran from some '46 issues I had, up to about 2000, when I quit buying them, and sold most of them off.

    I still didn't know about the spark plug story... OR the patent challenge! {:-(


    Here is one I have mentioned on chat groups. Some of you will know this.....

    What was the car manufacturing center of the U.S. before Detroit? It was home to about 125 different automobile brands!!!

    What happened to most of those companies?

    Why did Detroit become the center for builders?
