3)   The movie was a 58

4)   The trim tells me it's a 59 Belvedere. - badbill1941

5)   It's actually a 1959 Belvedere sedan. The script on the left side of the hood (right side in the picture) is "Plymouth" and the side molding on a Fury was not shaped like what you see on the left front fender of this car. The Fury was a wedge from front to rear. - Don't know everything !

Question 3
What is meant by intercooled engines?...  

Answers
1)   It means there is a heat exchanger (cooler) install between (inter) between the turbo/super charger and the intake manifold. - Old Man Dirt

2)   Well as i understand it an inter-cooler is an additional part to a turbo charged engine system where the exhaust gas is used to drive/ run a tribune that takes clean air and stuffs more air and fuel mixture in too the engine cylinders; thus resulting in a significant increase in horse power an additional benefit is to use an inter-cooler to cool the mixture before it enters the engine, this creates a denser fuel air mixture that results in even more power increases (an inter-cooler is like an air conditioner for the fuel air mixture before it enters the cylinders/engine to simplify things) PS: I AM NOT A MECHANIC LOL JUST KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT CARS AND I LOVE POWER/SPEED - BIGDADDY911

3)   An intercooled engine has what amounts to a radiator for the air that is forced into the engine from either a turbocharger or supercharger. The idea is to reduce the temperature of the air entering the engine to reduce the chance of detonation, which can cause complete engine failure. - Sean

4)   Anku, The turbocharger compresses the air going into the intake but this also heats the air causing it to expand. The inter-cooler cools it back down while leaving it compressed so you can get more air into the engine. The first year that Dodge came out with Diesel, it didn't have inter-cooling. But shortly after, they all had inter-cooling. - Jackolantern

Question 4
Chrysler files for Bankruptcy?...  Is this the start of the next Great Depression? We were told this was not an option, apparently it is. Should we have let this happen a few months back?

Answers
1)   ok - Sports Champion --Rsdiqbal--

2)   No, no. - Howard L

3)   Well Prunella. I wouldn't worry to much about Chrysler going under. Back in the late 70's this happened to Chrysler. Lee Iaccoca was hired to fix Chrysler. He borrowed 4.5 billion from Uncle Sam and got the company back on it's feet And paid back the loan ahead of time with interest. - Jackolantern

4)   WASHINGTON - After months of living on government loans, Chrysler finally succumbed to bankruptcy Thursday, pinning its future on a top-to-bottom reorganization and plans to build cleaner cars through an alliance with Italian automaker Fiat.

The nation’s third-largest car manufacturer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New York after a group of creditors defied government pressure to wipe out Chrysler’s debt. The company plans to emerge in as little as 30 days as a leaner, more nimble company, probably with Fiat as the majority owner. In return, the federal government agreed to give Chrysler up to $8 billion in additional aid and to back its warranties.

“It’s a partnership that will give Chrysler a chance not only to survive, but to thrive in a global auto industry,” President Barack Obama said from the White House.


If GM files for bankruptcy protection in the U. S., it will also likely do so in Canada, said a Canadian Auto Workers economist.

Jim Stanford said a filing in both countries would likely result in a temporary shutdown of some GM plants, possibly including operations in St. Catharines.

A General Motors Corp. bankruptcy filing seemed inevitable south of the border after a rebellion by its bondholders forced it to withdraw a plan on Wednesday to swap bond debt for company stock.

In the U. S., GM would file for Chapter 11 under the country's Bankruptcy Code. In Canada, GM would seek debt protection as it reorganizes under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA).

"Assuming GM files for protection in the U. S., it's then not known whether they will also file for CCAA in Canada," Stanford said.

He pointed out that Chrysler filed for Chapter 11 recently, but not its equivalent in Canada.

However, "in GM's case, most people think they will also file for CCAA protection," Stanford said. "There's bondholders in Canada who GM wants to give a haircut to and it's unlikely they're going to agree voluntarily to that."

GM has until Monday to complete a U. S. government-ordered restructuring that includes debt reduction, labour cost cuts and plant closures. But a Chapter 11 reorganization is likely after the company said its offer to exchange $27 billion in unsecured debt for 10 per cent of the company's stock had failed. GM has received $19.4 billion in U. S. federal loans.

Stanford said a U. S.-Canadian bankruptcy protection filing would likely have an impact on its plants.

"It would likely involve some ... temporary downtime of GM's facilities here," he said.

"'We don't know for sure and we don't know for how long."

Question 5
For those of you who dont think that Chrysler and GM should have to pay back the money taken for the Bailout.?...  I have an outline for an essay due of Friday, and I need some help. I need reasons why GM and Chrysler shouldn't have to pay the money back. Please help Me.

Answers
1)   There is no reason in the world that they shouldn't pay it back... Although, we as tax payers, will never see a dime of it... - Steve-o

2)   Wrong side of the argument, They should re pay with interest.
In the late 70.s Chrysler was headed to bankruptcy and got a bail out to launch their K series of cars, they repaid with interest 5 years ahead of pay off.
It made a legend of their famous CEO, Lee Iaccoca, inventor(?) of the Ford Mustang. - Dan

3)   Good luck. The bail outs should be re-paid, the same as any loan that you or I would make. I see no reason for them to be exempt. - badbill1941

4)   Sorry, they absolutely need to pay the money back. Where does that leave Ford if they do not?

Free market folks sell what people want or go under.

Full Disclosure- I own own a lot of Ford Stock
