Hello list,
 
Off topic.
 
Don't think Chevrolet was ever into tractors.  (obligatory  tractor comment)  
I  remember reading a Look Magazine article while  killing some time in a 
study hall in 1952.  It was about Chevrolet setting  a gas mileage world record. 
123 MPG I think. Two drivers manned a  special vehicle from New York to Los  
Angeles.    Chevrolet used a stock engine from their  assembly line with 
special carburation,  a special two seat, light  weight vehicle. There were a number 
of  things done to assure the best  fuel economy possible; coasting, driving 
slow, etc. This information also  appeared in the Guiness book of world 
records for a number of years  afterward.  Anyway, now all the information seems to 
be  gone.   Does anyone else remember this
 
demonstration of fuel economy by Chevrolet?
