[Roadsters] what is it??

[Mike Harper]

Sorry, I think the aluminum block award goes to Buick Skylark Olds F-85 1961
or '62.  The same little V-8 that became famous across the pond in everything
from Rovers to Sterlings to Triumph TR8 to MGC to about any british car they
could mash a V8 into.  It did not work that well in American cars but was a
big hit "over there".  GM sold this gem, which says something about GM.

It's a 1963 Plymouth Valiant, my fellow Roadsterites.

Cool little car. I think this one was one of the first in the USA to use an
aluminum block.  Didn't really work out.
