Q: Greg, there's nothing better than reading about old cars and nostalgia, so I have a question about the 1950 Lincoln. Is it true that in 1950, the Lincoln offered a General Motors automatic transmission as an option? My friends tell me this is true, and I want to know from you if they are correct. Also, when did Lincoln offer factory installed air conditioning? Silvio Calabi: BMW’s 6 is finally a 10 (maybe a 9)
When BMW relaunched its 6-Series coupe in 2003, the car was not quite fully sorted — some tweaking was in order. The 650i is the 2012, gen-two model, and the car is now spot-on, a techno tour de force. Talking Cars: Knock knock - what’s there?
I notice on late model cars a start-up knock. Even on my own 2010 Ford Focus. It sounds like they could use .001 or even .002 U.S. bearings. The knock is very slight. It sounds like what I used to hear with engines having high mileage. Do you consider this normal? Greg Zyla: Those fabulous Ford Falcons and big-block engines
Q: Greg, what big 400-plus V8 engines did Ford have from 1961 to 1963? Did they have the 427 and 428 V8 then? Also, in the not too distant future, I'd like to drop one of the big 427 type engines into a 1961 to 1963 Ford Falcon, depending on what year I run across. It would be a project car, so do you have any suggestions on suspension and frame upgrades? Will these big engines fit under the hood? Will the frame be strong enough to handle it? If it works, it would be quite a "sleeper" on the road. Please let me know. Charles Cormack, New Castle, Ind. Auto Bits: Pack the fun on your next family vacation

I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 van with a 5.2 liter engine. For the last two or three weeks, while driving, it just shuts off for no apparent reason. I can wait 30 seconds to one minute, and it will re-start. While waiting, if I try to use the hazards, they just grind without working, like it has a low battery.

Q: Greg, I look forward to your column and was wondering if you have info on a car I remember as a kid called the Amphicar. Do you remember this car? It was half boat and half car. Bob L., Michigan. Talking Cars: Read the fine print
The article I read in Newsday, May 6, 2011, describing a transmission problem in a 2009 Hyundai Sonata with 23,700 miles didn’t address that fact that these cars are warrantied for five years or 60,000 miles bumper to bumper coverage and 10 years or 100,000 powertrain. Why this woman was charged for anything just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. The way I would understand it this should be covered by the factory guarantee. Why wasn’t that issue addressed? Am I missing something or was this a misprint? |
