History class was lost on me back in the day. But now I find myself being pulled into it, especially Automobile History.

This is a 10 minute vid that I found interesting and informative and wanted to share.

While I have a general rule about not trusting anyone younger than 50 (lol) This kid does a good job at presenting some facts I didn't know. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for the replies guys
Glad you enjoyed it and maybe heard something you didn't know.

Ed you crack me up but I too had to hit the rewind buttons a couple of times. I kept screaming at the screen ' Breathe Dude you gotta Breathe. One thing for sure you won't doze off while listening. My buffers were full

Gary the Cragar SS were always my favorite but I have only ever had 2 deep dish my whole life. I put them on the back of my first car, a 1960 Orange (spray cans) VW. That powerful 36 hp engine could really light 'em up (in my vivid imagination anyway)

Many years ago I got a pair of Cragar SS Wheels that had what appeared to be factory stamped serial numbers on the face of them. I have never seen another one with that but found it interesting they would have a serial number at all.
I had Cragar SS wheels on two cars, one was on one of my 1961 Impala Bubbletop coupes, and the other was on my 1974 Firebird Formula 400.
IF I could find a nice set of older pre 1990's Cragar SS wheels, I might consider buying them. I don't care for the newer versions. JMO

Jeff,
The guy did stop talking but he was either drinking, laughing, or it was edited out. Thanks for sharing.

P.S.
Jeff,
The reason that history now interests you so much is because it was called "Current Events" when you were much much younger.
