first; I've tried all the obvious.

The question:

This 1967, 396 horsepower muscle
car displayed the 'Super Sport'
script on its rear fender?

Its got me stumped, but now I won't be able to leave it alone http://www.autotrivia.com/cgi-shl/clue6a.pl

Hmmm. Please post the correct answer when it comes up.

I don't find any Chevrolet engines with that horsepower rating for 1967. Could the questioner have confused the 396ci block with the horsepower rating?

------------------

I think it's an error.

While trying to work my way thru other questions, I did find 1 other mistake.

They ask what the original batmobile was based on. It was based on a Lincoln, and the answer is 'cadillac'

Kurt

I agree with Tom and Kurt. They are actually referring to displacement.

This is driving me nuts! Anybody figured this one out yet?!

guys,
this looks some kind of stupid trick to me. that is not a 67 caddy anyway.I own a 67 fleetwood,looks nothing like it.picture is a 59 I belive.in 67 only cad engine was 429cube

I think the trivia answer is either the Nova or the Impala.
The original batmobile was based on a 1958
T-Bird

Byfield, The original "Batmobile " was a Thunderbird (58)...........but they used a Lincoln in "Animal House" to make their parade entry vehicle

The original (TV) Batmobile was customized by George Barris and was built from a (56?) Lincoln. I think the model was Premier. If you find a picture of one, check the shape of the headlight eyebrows as they extend inboard to form little scoops just in front of the hood.

It's not a T-bird, it's a Lincoln Futura. And as RT pointed out, and I forgot to say, it was built by Barris Kustoms

Isn't that .wav file from Ferris Bueller's Day Off? So what was that little red convertible they were driving? I didn't think it was a Chevy or even American made.

Whee (or sometimes Mike)

I believe Ferris convertible was a Ferrari, but haven't seen the movie in a while.
