Trivia Tuesday and a big welcome

in cars •  7 years ago 

Hello fellow steemers,

my first post will also be the beginning of a weekly series that will be posted every Tuesday from now on, the Trivia Tuesday.

Every Tuesday you will find fun trivia about what we all love, cars.

So let´s start with this weeks trivia:

How did the Ford Mustang convertible end up on top of the Empire State Building in 1965?

To celebrate the launch of the Mustang convertible Ford wanted to do something that has never been done before. So they chopped a the convertible into three pieces, brought it up there with the freight elevator and assembled it again.

If you think that this was a one time marketing stunt you´re wrong. 50 years later Ford dit it again for the launch of the 2015 Mustang convertible.

The only difference was, that they had to tear the 2015 model down into a few more pieces. Motortrend has put together a timeline with a lot of photos of the whole process. You can find it here.

Next week there will new fun trivia. Until then you will you will find interesting news and facts about the automotive world if you follow me.
