[AT] Rockol tractor Chrysler straigt 8

[Gene Dotson]

    Chrysler did indeed make a straight eight engine. This was
the engine used in the New Yorker till they came out with the
overhead valve V-8 in about 1951.
    The feature tractor last year at Portland was Ford and there
was at least one there with a V-12 and one with a V-16 engine.

: Walt I was thinking the same that Chrysler never made a
straight 8 but I

of the Lincoln

heard they had

would be quite a
: collectors item to have one in working condition now.
