The first car I ever drove was a '48 Pontiac with a straight 8. I'll bet a few on this forum ever heard of this configuration since straight 8's have not been around since the 1950's. Since I was curious, I Googled it and found out that in the 50's Mercedes put a straight 8 in a formula one car and in the 300SL.
Our family '48 Pontiac was a hell of a car with "3 on the tree" and enough room in the back seat for......whatever.
The good old days.
