Solved - Name That Make #29: 1948 Publix
« on: September 05, 2009, 08:20:49 PM »
I haven’t posted any puzzles for a while, so now I’m going to post a bunch at one time. They may not be hard, but at least I’m pretty sure they haven’t been featured here before.

For one point: Tell the make name & an unusual feature of this car

Not much rookie action right now, so I'll go ahead & send this to Experts.

It's the American made Publix which had a removable steering wheel that could be swapped from left to right

That's right!

Except my source says it was American & Canadian at the same time (although it didn't explain how that worked).
