This is a scan of the handout photos they were giving away at a ISCA CAR SHOW ..... I believe at the time, held at the L.A. Convention Center about late '73 or early '74 promoting the new movie which came out in July '74. They staged a pile of wrecked cars from the movie in the show room with Eleanor the Mustang in all her glory with a bazillion dents.

- The company was founded on January 21, 1863 and began making automobiles in 1899. In March 1929 General Motors bought 80% of the company increasing this to 100% in 1931 and continues as a subsidiary. The Opel family gained $33.3 million dollars from this transaction.
- Opel is GM's largest European brand and with Vauxhall forms GM's core European business.
- The name "Olympia" originated in 1935 at the Internationalen Automobil- und Motorrad-Ausstellung (IAMA) in Berlin from future Berlin 1936 Olympiade, that is why the label of new model was a famous ancient "Discus-thrower" sculpture.

Special:
- The Hupmobile was an automobile built by the Hupp Motor Company of Detroit, Michigan, located at 345 Belleview Avenue and founded by Robert Craig Hupp, a former employee of Oldsmobile and Ford founded the company with his brother Louis in 1908.
- A new plant was purchased in 1924 as Hupp competed strongly against Ford and Chevrolet and by 1928 sales had reached over 65,000 units. To increase production and handle the growth in sales, Hupp purchased the Chandler-Cleveland Motors Corporation (Chandler Motor Car) that year for its manufacturing facilities.
- Sales and production began to fall even before the onset of the depression in 1930. Hupmobile ceased production in late summer of 1939.

I went to Milan Dragway with my wife and a few friends yesterday - it was a beautiful day for the races. I shot this particular image as a car was leaving the line - love how the grip from tire to track makes the tire wrinkle up as they accelerate.

- The TL first Series (1975-1982) had the smaller 782cc straight-4 839-06 petrol engine with power 27bhp/5.000rpm, torque 48Nm/2.500rpm, top speed 110 km/h.
- The first prototype of the Renault 4 (project 112: “the blue jean car”) was built in 1958, styled by Robert Barthaud and Guy Grosset Grange.
- In June 1961, the Renault 4 was presented at the Salon de l'Automobile in Paris, in the Luxury (L) version (pronounced "Quatrelle", which means "four wings"), hence the common name in France 4L.
- *The wheelbase on the right side is 4 cm shorter than the left side, allowing the rear torsion bar suspension to be simple produced, without affecting the handling of the car.
- The R4 (1961-1989: all models) was the first front-wheel drive passenger car from Renault and was considered to be the counterpart of the 2CV by Citroën.
- Although the R4 engine always been improved (603cc, 747cc, 845cc, 956cc and 1108cc [only GTL]), the basic principle of the car remained unchanged, including the sliding side windows
- The R4 was built all over the world; in Billancourt, France, in Valladolid, Spain (known as "Cuatro latas"), in Vilvoorde, Belgium, in Envigado, Colombia (nicknamed "Amigo fiel" (Faithful friend), in Novo Mesto, SFR Yugoslavia / today Slovenia (nicknamed "Katrca"), in Guarda, Portugal, in Ciudad Sahagún (known as "Quatro L"), Mexico, in Los Andes, Chile, in Santa Isabel, Argentina (by IKA, nicknamed "Renoleta"), in Naas, Ireland, in Milan, Italy (Alfa Romeo factory in Milan, known as JP4, nicknamed "Frog"), in Heidelberg, Australia, in Wexford, Ireland, in Casablanca, Morocco, in Algiers, Algeria (CARAL) and in Montevideo, Uruguay (Renault Mini 4 - local version).
Yes indeed this this the same fifthwheel we purchased new in 2013. We started our journey "fulltime" in June 2013. We have stayed at 250 plus RV Parks, State Parks and County Parks.
29 National Parks and 27 National Monuments.
Did I mention... well over 110,000 miles and still going!
However this is a different Ram than what we started out with. The 2012 has been re-cycled! We were hit head-on (Dec. 2019) when another driver crossed the center line into our lane.... BOOM!!! Needless to say it was totalled. So in comes the newer Ram.
Although originally built for the military as a light ground-attack aircraft, the Towhee was deemed too sedate for its intended role and instead operated as an aerial reconnaissance unit. Constructed before the advent of self-sealing petrol tanks, pilots were thankful to have the fuel nacelle separated from the aircraft’s main body when under fire. After the conflict, surplus Towhees gained favor with adventurers due to their extreme ease of handling, inability to stall, and smooth, safe landings even in the face of engine failure.
The unusual asymmetric design of the Towhee negated the torque effects of both the thrusting and lifting rotors, allowing for effortless control.

Special:
- Mercury is an automobile marque of the Ford Motor Company founded in 1939 to market entry-level-luxury cars slotted between Ford-branded regular models and Lincoln-branded luxury vehicles.
- Mercury was its own division at Ford until 1945 when it was combined with Lincoln into the Lincoln-Mercury Division, with Ford hoping the brand would be known as a "junior Lincoln", rather than an upmarket Ford.
- But Mercury’s, like the defunct Edsel, were created from scratch, rather than being a takeover of an existing company like Lincoln.
- The Mercury name comes from the "messenger of the gods" of Roman mythology and during its early years, the Mercury brand was known for performance.
- The Monterey (model 72C) was introduced in 1950 as a high-end two-door coupe as part of the Mercury Eight Series, but became an independent model in 1952 as Mercury's top model line.
- The ’52 Monterey Series was available as this 2-door Coupé, as 2-door 76B Convertible (5,261 units built) and as 4-door 73C Sedan (83,475 units built).
- This first generation Monterey (1952-1954) was assembled in St. Louis (Missouri), Maywood (California), Pico Rivera (California), Atlanta (Georgia) and in Mahwah (New Jersey).

Ciudad Encantada, Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
La Ciudad Encantada es un paraje natural español de formaciones rocosas calcáreas o calizas formadas a lo largo de miles de años. Se localiza cerca de Valdecabras, en el término municipal de Cuenca (España), en una amplia zona de pinares de la parte meridional de la serranía conquense y a una altitud de 1500 metros.
Fue declarada Sitio Natural de Interés Nacional el 11 de junio de 1929. La acción del agua, el viento y el hielo ha hecho posible este fenómeno kárstico. La heterogeneidad de las rocas en cuanto a su morfología, composición química y grado de dureza es lo que ha permitido el desgaste desigual de las mismas por los elementos atmosféricos, dando como resultado una muestra sorprendente de arte pintoresco proveniente de la misma naturaleza. A las caprichosas y espectaculares formaciones existentes hay que sumar lapiaces, torcas y sumideros.
Comparte estas características especialmente con "Los Callejones", paraje ubicado en el término municipal de Las Majadas. Ambos lugares forman parte del parque natural Serranía de Cuenca, creado mediante la Ley de la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha 5/2007.
The Enchanted City is a Spanish natural area of calcareous or limestone rock formations formed over thousands of years. It is located near Valdecabras, in the municipality of Cuenca (Spain), in a wide area of pine forests in the southern part of the Cuenca mountains and at an altitude of 1,500 meters.
It was declared a Natural Site of National Interest on June 11, 1929. The action of water, wind and ice has made this karstic phenomenon possible. The heterogeneity of the rocks in terms of their morphology, chemical composition and degree of hardness is what has allowed their uneven wear by atmospheric elements, resulting in a surprising sample of picturesque art from nature itself. To the whimsical and spectacular existing formations we must add lapiaces, torques and sinkholes.
It shares these characteristics especially with "Los Callejones", a place located in the municipality of Las Majadas. Both places are part of the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park, created by the Law of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha 5/2007.

Special:
- Although the Peugeot factory had been in the manufacturing business since the 1700's, the company's entry into the world of wheeled vehicles was by means of crinoline dresses, which used steel rods, leading to umbrella frames, wire wheels, and ultimately bicycles.
- Armand Peugeot introduced the Peugeot "Le Grand Bi" penny-farthing in 1882 and along with a range of other bicycles.
- He became interested in the automobile early on and after meeting with Gottlieb Daimler and others, was convinced of its viability. The first Peugeot automobile (a three-wheeled steam-powered car designed by Léon Serpollet) was produced in 1889; only four were made.
- In 1890, after meeting Gottlieb Daimler and Emile Levassor, steam was abandoned in favour of a four-wheeled car with a petrol-fuelled internal combustion engine built by Panhard under Daimler licence.
- The car company and bike company parted ways in 1926.
- Sergio Pininfarina (Carrozzeria Pininfarina S.p.A. Cambiano - Italy) designed the 404 Series Berline, like its predecessor, the 403 Series and it was introduced at the 1960 Paris Motor Show.
- Sales of the 404 Berline started in May 1960, while the Break (Estate) sales started in late 1962.
- The 404 Series was available as this Break (1962-1971: Commerciale, Familiale (7 passengers), Break Super Deluxe and Ambulances), as 4-door Berline (1960-1975: 1,672,395 units built), as Convertible (1961-1969: 10,387 units built), as Coupé (1962-1969: 6,837 units built) and as Pick-Up version (1961-1975: Camionnette and Fourgonnette, 802,023 units built).
- They were assembled in Sochaux - France, Alençon - France (only Ambulance models), Australia (at the local Renault subsidiary!), Belgium, Canada (at the SOMA plant shared with Renault), Chile, Ireland, Madagascar, Malaysia, New Zealand, Kenya, Nigeria (production ended in 1988), Portugal, Perú, Rhodesia, South Africa (production ended in 1991), Argentina (production ended in 1980) and Uruguay.
