I wasn’t giving the color case feature much thought at the time but you are correct. Part of the reason is that relatively few of the 94’s and 92’s were made while color case hardening was offered while the 1886 had that option for roughly the first fifteen years of production.

Ok, I’ll join the fun. My 72 Stingray and 77 Chevy C10 Bonanza. The truck my dad bought new. The Vette was bought new by one of his business partners. The 74 CJ5 belongs to my nephew.

Count me in, wouldn’t mind hearing one again.
I’ll never forget the sound of that 389 Tri-Power Pontiac I had for a little while. It would flat scream when you woke it up! It didn’t have one of those lumpity-bumpity cams so it was the perfect sleeper car.

My brother works at a Dodge dealership and every year they have a Mopar car show. Of the many great cars there, the 70 Superbird always gets me dreaming.

As it does with every Red Blooded American Man over the age of 50! Both the 1969 Dodge Daytona Charger and the 1970 Plymouth Superbird were way ahead of their time. The ’69 Dodge Daytona Charger was the very first stock car (NASCAR) to break 200-milers per hour.

Speaking of ‘way ahead of their time’ how about fuel injection introduced in the 1957 Corvette and four wheel disc brakes in the 1965 model.

Kevin,
Chevy was not the first American auto maker to use fuel injection… that honor belongs to AMC. The Bendix corporation invented it, and AMC first used it on the 1957 Rambler Rebel with the 327 cid engine. Chevy (actually their Rochester division) did invent their own mechanical injection system, but it was not a true fuel injection system. Instead, it was classified as “port” injection. It was a finicky system, and difficult to maintain, which lead to its early demise.

That brings to mind the Corvair Spyder, IIRC. Turbocharged and FI, Ralph Nader’s little dream car.
Come to think of it IIRC the Spyder was actually supercharged, don’t remember anything about the fuel system.
I decided it needed a fresh look, so this winter took in in for a body off paint job. This is a no-rust car and with this paint job is good to go, knowing there is nothing hidden under the new paint.
Then I took a picture with the Triumph, which few people even know exists…

My 56 T-bird from highschool needed a bit of a touch up too.
. Just finished last month by the new owner. Sad. ?

Hello Bert, while I would be hesitant to disagree with you on any Winchester related topic, I have been buying/collecting Corvettes and classic cars probably as long as you have Winchesters, so I have to here. 
While a few ‘Bendix’ fuel injected AMC Rebels were made 1957, in spite of all the fanfare and delays, none were ever sold to the general public. AMC officially blamed the fuel injected car having never being put into full production on supplier issues however it is most likely because they were never able to get the ‘bugs’ out of the system.
On the other hand, Rochester actually produced their FI system for the 283cid Corvette engine in 1956 and Chevy sold 1040 such equipped Corvettes in 1957. There were considerable issues with the system, however Corvette continued to offer FI in Corvettes through the 1965 model year.
