MOTORSPORT TRIVIA - Q23 & 24

Q23. What new innovation did the Cord 810 (first produced in 1937) boast?

Q24 What 'visible' first did the 1927 Ford Model A have?

Q23. Pop-up headlamps.

Damn you Gerard! ;)

Have you got the same game or summink?

Yes, the Cord was the first with pop-up (retractable) headlamps. You are TOO good, or you cheat. Which? Come on! Out wi' it, lad!

By the way, if WH Smiths have my order in tomorrow, I'll hopefully be improving these questions somewhat.

OK, I'll admit it, Graham.
I'm just too good! :)
Actually I have a huge library on motorsport and car history.
One of the books in this library is 'Cord 810/812: The Timeless Classic by Josh Malks.
I found the answer there.
As to Q24, to show you I don't know everything, I just have to guess.
I do have a book about the Ford model A, but I couldn't find the answer to the question anywhere.
So, my guess is, either bumpers or windscreen wipers.

I am deeply, deeply envious :)

Ford Model A had the first laminated windscreen, dear boy.

Got me book - hang on tight...
