Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of Curtis Wilcox's son?

Answer: Ned

Curtis had one son and two daughters. Because of Ned, the whole story of the Buick came in mind again.

2. How did Curtis Wilcox die?

Answer: Accident

He was run over by a drunk driver.

3. Which policeman was 'swallowed' by the Buick?

Answer: Ennis Raffery

Ennis disappeared suddenly after the Buick was brought in.

4. Curtis tried to do an autopsy on a creature that came out of the Buick. What animal did it look most like?

Answer: a bat

The creature flew out of the Buick and died immediately, not like the more 'humanoid' creature the policemen had to kill some years later.

5. Out of which part of the Buick did the strange things come?

Answer: The trunk

The trunk always opened by itself like it was the portal to another dimension.

6. The policemen always knew when something was bound to happen. How?

Answer: The place around the Buick got colder

They even bought a special thermometer to check the temperature regularly!

7. What was the name of the dog?

Answer: Mister Dillon

Mister Dillon (or just D) was very sensitive around the Buick, and died eventually after attacking the humanoid creature. He literaly burned from the inside out.

8. When doing the autopsy on the creature, Curtis thought he saw the lungs, but it resembled more the brains. What colour did it have?

Answer: green

The description of the autopsy is written with so many details I even had shivers.

9. True or False: Just like his father, his son Ned died while being a policeman.

Answer: False

He tried to study at university, but eventually became a policeman in the same unit as his father; at the end of the book, he still lives.

10. How did Ned discover that the Buick was 'dying'?

Answer: a crack in the glass

It was so small that at first nobody saw it, but the Buick was starting to die after all! (now we'll never know how it came here!)
