IML: hemi history and the haze green vote

["mike and linda sutton" <mikanlin62@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We may as well discuss something easier to prove like which was first the 
chicken or the egg.  Apparently the first Chrysler hemi was the military use 
of the V-16 hemi head in the XP-47, that is according to Allpar. Take it 
with a grain of salt if you wish, who knows.  Sounds reasonable to me.

Another source  lists the Franklin engine , which was used in automobiles 
and aircraft over the years, as having a Hemi design in 1908.  That source 
was www.franklincar.org/100years.htm .  There are other references I found 
from Wright Aircraft Engines and Pratt and Whitney from the thirties that 
are similar.

I didnt look beyond this for any European references,  it would be more than 
my heart could bear to find that a Fiat or Peugeot had developed this 
engine.

P.S.  Is the silly haze green vote being limited to 67-68 owners only?  If 
that takes precedence, then it would stand to reason that only owners of 
other years would be entitled to vote on changing the website names of their 
year of cars as well.  If that precedence does not take effect then my vote 
stands at haze green, my second choice would be  " that pos in oregon".
