some cool stuff there. one mistake i saw was the chrysler 300 was never supercharged. highest performance ones were the srts up to 2010 the had the 425hp 6.1 and in 2011 till the last one the 485hp 392 was the top motor option

    Thanks Bob, I wasn't aware of the Nash products being built overseas..and of course, the Taunus (Ford) line is popular in Europe.

  Then of course, there were the Vauxhall (GM) in the UK and the Opel (GM) in Germany.  While stationed in Germany I had a couple old cars.
  One was a 1950 Volkswagen "split window" and the other a 1950 Opel Olympia, much like the one shown below, except in a dark blue.

  Those early '50s Opels, were much like the 1930s Chevys, except 4 cyl and 3/4ths the size.
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)
