Last Trivia Challenge
You guys are good. Jim correctly identified the quote in question 1 as being from "Darktown Strutter's Ball", but the correct answer is B. Taxi....which both Adam and Ralph got. Everyone had the correct answer to question 2, Princess Summerfallwinterspring.
Then I screwed up question 3. As Jim & Ralph pointed out, the Mills Brothers had the hit "Cabdriver"....which was not one of the choices. Adam. like me, thought it was the Ink Spots. I apologize for the error. To be fair, here's a replacement question:
What car event did NOT take place in 1948?
a) Whitewall tires became available
b)Tucker Torpedo car appears with a helicopter style engine
c)Cadillac starts its FIN look tradition
d)Pontiac brings out the Hydra Matic -- automatic transmission
(Question borrowed from a fun little quiz here BTW)
No fair peeking. Oh, and everyone got the bonus question, Carolina Kennedy's pet pony was named Macaroni.

I'm going with C.
Last quiz...foiled by a typo! Of course, it was "taxi." SUVs didn't exist when the Darktown Strutter's Ball was written. My own fault. duh.

Pontiac brought out the Hydramatic transmission in 1941, not 1948.
Question: In 1951, both Cadillac and Chrysler offered big V-8's. Both had displacements of 331 cubic inches, but one was .1 cubic inch larger than the other. Which was which?
