Auto World Trivia Questions

31. Studebaker made two sporty models before they went out of business. One was the well-known Avanti, which lived on beyond them. What was the other one?

From Quiz
Car Flake

Answer: The Gran Turismo Hawk

The Hawk had a number of incarnations. There was the tastefully styled Hawk of the mid-50s, the finned monstrosity visited on the same body in the late 50s, and then there was the tastefully styled, pipe-and-slippers model that was obviously aping the very successful '58-'60 model Ford Thunderbird. Raymond Loewy, a very famous industrial designer who handled more than just automobiles, designed this model as well as the Avanti!

32. This three door hatchback manufactured by Mercury was similar to the Ford EXP. It was introduced in 1981 as a 1982 model. When originally introduced, it only had 70 horse power. Can you name this car?

From Quiz Discontinued Cars

Answer: Mercury LN7

The Mercury LN7 was dicontinued in 1983 but the Ford version (EXP) was manufactured until 1988 until being replaced by the Probe. Although the Probe replaced it in the company's lineup, the Escort ZX2 can be seen as a more direct replacement to the EXP.

33. SRS refers to what part of the car?

From Quiz Auto Acronyms

Answer: airbag

SRS stands for Supplemental Restraint System airbag. SRS airbags first came out in 1993 by Safety Restraint Systems Inc. By 1999 the Federal Government required all cars, light trucks and vans to have driver and passenger airbags. A maximized amount of protection is achieved when seat belts are used in conjunction with the airbags.

34. If the manufacturers at Dodge were to think of a car name while watching a cloud form extending over a large area at altitudes of usually 2000 to 7000 feet (600 to 2100 meters), what would they think of?

From Quiz Meaning of Car Names #2

Answer: Stratus

The Dodge Stratus comes in Coupe and Sedan models, neither of which can get up to 2000 feet in normal circumstances.

35. What is a wine bottle holding about 1.5 liters made by Dodge be named?

From Quiz Meaning of Car Names

Answer: Magnum

Dodge's first Magnum since the 1970's was the 2005 Magnum, which we hope holds more than 1.5 liters of fuel. Thanks to burnone for correcting this.

36. What spark plugs come with a Ford F-150 out of the factory?

From Quiz Parts Counter

Answer: Motorcraft

Ford uses Motorcraft spark plugs, General Motors uses AC Delco, Chrysler uses Mopar and Honda uses NGK.

37. 'The Blues Brothers' (1980) featured John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd and a star studded cast. The car driven by the well intentioned but felonious musical brothers played a major part in the film. What kind of car was the Bluesmobile?

Answer: 1974 Dodge Monaco 440

The Bluesmobile in detail: 1974 Dodge Monaco Sedan. Ex Mount Prospect police car (Mount Prospect is a north western suburb of Chicago). Licence plate BDR 529. "It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant" "It's got cop tyres, cop suspension, cop shocks.. it's the model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas." Other vehicles featured include a Pontiac Grand Prix owned by Jake's ex-girlfriend who is bent on revenge, the 'Good Old Boys' camper that goes for a swim, the Ford Pinto Wagon owned by the leader of the Illinois Nazis and Murph's pink Cadillac.

From Quiz Who Made It?

39. The Batmobile was based on which car?

From Quiz Unusual Car Facts

Answer: Lincoln Futura

Though not ever made for the public, the design of the Batmobile was based on a concept model made by Lincoln in 1955 called the Futura. Here are the 2 cars seen together, along with a full history. http://www.1966batmobile.com/background.htm

40. When did the ThrustSSC team break the sound barrier?

From Quiz Faster Than Sound

Answer: 15th October 1997

41. In this adaptation of Stephen King's novel, Arnie (the main character) finds this poor old rusted hulk named 'Christine' and falls in love with it. When restored, she was big, red and evil. What type of car is 'Christine'?

From Quiz Movie Cars - the Cars are the Stars

Answer: 1958 Plymouth Fury

The local punks mess up Christine (just envious I guess). Christine repairs herself, then goes on a killing spree! Arnie's new ride is also extremely jealous of his new girlfriend Leigh. Good fun movie, directed by John Carpenter :)

From Quiz Famous Luxury Automobiles

Answer: Maybach

The plans to introduce this car became apparent with Daimler's refusal to join in the cat fight between BMW and Volkswagen over buying Rolls Royce. Mercedes said it had its own superluxury car on the drawing boards. By the way, the V-12 engine can produce 543 h.p. (but at 3 tons, can it outrun my Ducati?) By the way, the Mayback 62 is over 20' long so you may have to have your garage extended to fit it properly!

Spark plugs are located near the top of the engine. Diesel engines have no spark plug, they rely on super high compression.

From Quiz Wheels Keep Rolling

From Quiz Car Badges

Answer: Dodge Ram

It was a natural step to name a huge pickup truck after it.

From Quiz Parked in History

58. Preston Tucker, a famous American industrialist and automobile visionary, planned to build an eccentric light sports car in a tropical country. What was this sports car going to be called?

From Quiz Abandoned Automobile Projects

Answer: Carioca

Preston Thomas Tucker was literally hunted by the Detroit mob back in the day, since his revolutionary Torpedo was rather better than anything produced by Detroit automakers of the time. Facing severe accusations, he went bankrupt and found himself hopeless. Diagnosed with lung cancer, he went to Brazil in order to visit the American Doctor William Koch (who had been accused of charlatanism in the U.S. due to his promises of cancer treatment without medication and radiotherapy), where he found perfect grounds to start his revolutionary brand all over again. Trying to resuscitate his dream in Brazil (which didn't have a proper auto industry at the time), there wasn't much of a problem finding investors. However, Preston's health wasn't helped by the lack of effective treatment he was receiving, and he went back to the U.S. only to die of pneumonia caused by the lung cancer. The Carioca, his ambitious project, was a sports car designed to use most of the parts used on his model 48 (the Torpedo). The car was so called in a tribute to the city of Rio de Janeiro, where he opened his office in Brazil.

59. Which Soviet car comes from Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic)?

From Quiz Cars and Their Countries

Answer: Tatra

Tatra was founded in 1850 and produced its first car in 1897. Tatra went bust in 1999, after years of producing exsclusively trucks.
