How about your opinion on the electric car\u2019s today and in the future? Thanks, Dave D., Rhode Island.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A: Dave, I\u2019ve been receiving lots of letters on electric cars lately. The first mass produced and commercially available hybrid cars in the U.S.A. were the 1999 Honda Insight followed by the 1999 Toyota Prius seven months later. Prius was a four-door sedan style unlike the Insight\u2019s two-door, two-passenger format. Both came with electric motors and an internal combustion engine to assist in keeping the batteries charged. These electric hybrids allowed recharging the batteries when driving, called the regenerative braking process. Granted, it was early hybrid electric technology, but still, in my opinion, a solid theory even these 22 years later. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward and we arrive at the more advanced plug-in hybrids, which allow more miles to travel on \u201call-electric\u201d and the advantage of plugging in at home to recharge the larger battery packs. If the battery is low and falls below enough power to get you home, there\u2019s always the internal combustion engine working in tandem to eliminate any \u201cstuck on the side of the road: situations.\u201d Although the miles available to drive in all-electric mode are still limited, these plug-in hybrids can fulfill the needs of many consumers. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward again, and we arrive at today\u2019s totally electric plug-in electric cars, led by the Tesla and produced by many manufacturers in recent years.&nbsp;I give Elon Musk of Tesla a big pat on the back for leading this booming industry that features cars that can go 300-miles or more between charges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_89461\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2022\/04\/Car_Collector2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-89461\" class=\"size-full wp-image-89461\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2022\/04\/Car_Collector2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Cars We Remember\/Collector Car Corner; Electric cars, rare Pontiac G-37 and some truck trivia\" width=\"1200\" height=\"960\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-89461\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ad for the 2001 Toyota Prius that today is still the best selling hybrid car ever built.

Thanks for your inquiry Dave.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Was there ever a Pontiac T-37 Tri-Power?&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Q: Greg I read your column on the 1970-71 Pontiac T-37 and really enjoyed it. As a prior 1970 1\/2 Pontiac T-37 owner, all of this information I\u2019m giving now came directly from the Fremont, California plant where the cars were built, and I received this information back in 1987.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the really rare information; there were 10 1970 1\/2 Pontiac G-37s built that came with a three two-barrel carb Tri-Power 350-V8 under the hood. I also remember High Performance Pontiac magazine did an article on these cars some time in the late 1980\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>My T-37 was a different as it had carpet and not the usual rubber floor mats. It didn\u2019t have chrome, except for bumpers and door handles. The window trim was stainless steel and as you mentioned in your previous T-37 column, the G-37 was a stripped down GTO.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Back then Pontiac was trying to get the Tri-Power carburetor setup into racing, but it didn\u2019t happen so they took spare GTO, Lemans and Tempest parts to build only 10 G-37s with the 350 Tri-Power engines. These cars out performed the \u201970 GTO, and Pontiac couldn\u2019t have another car compete with the GTO; so Pontiac made sure the rest of the cars mostly came with 6-cylinder engines or the basic 350-V8 with the 2-barrel carb.<\/p>\n<p>Mine had the Tri-Power removed when it somehow got out of California and sold in Altus, Oklahoma. Again, this G-37 came from the Fremont Plant and the dealer in Oklahoma remembered my car. The 10 Pontiac G-37 Tri-Power cars were 2-door post designs and painted around doors and quarter window instead of using chrome strips.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I still have the original bill of sale and Tempest owner\u2019s manual. I sold mine in 1999, and then in 2009 it was restored with the exception of adding a chrome strip below the doors. Also, the colors were slightly lighter than the factory colors. I saw your article on the T-37 and liked it, and am now looking at purchasing a \u201871 GT-37 with the 400 engine.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your article, as I just found it and wanted to give you the information I had on the 350 Tri-Power. Thank you, Michael Trail, sent from my iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>A: Michael thanks much for the information on the 1970 1\/2 350-V8 G-37 Tri-Power model. I never knew it existed and can\u2019t find any readily available information on a Tri-Power 350 V8 T-37.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_89463\" style=\"width: 645px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2022\/04\/Car_Collector4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-89463\" class=\"size-full wp-image-89463\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2022\/04\/Car_Collector4.jpg\" alt=\"Cars We Remember\/Collector Car Corner; Electric cars, rare Pontiac G-37 and some truck trivia\" width=\"635\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2022\/04\/Car_Collector4.jpg 635w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2022\/04\/Car_Collector4-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-89463\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Advertisement for the powerful 1970 Pontiac T-37 and GT-37, which were stripped down GTOs with optional GTO engines. (Pontiac)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>However, I\u2019m not saying these 10 cars didn\u2019t exist. Back in the 1960s and early 1970s, Pontiac was known for performance and was the very first to introduce the midsized muscle car with its 1964 GTO that featured a 389-V8 with a Tri-Power option. Pontiac also played around with certain cars that were never publicized, and your T-37 Tri-Power is surely one of them. However, I just can\u2019t find any information on these 350 Tri-Power cars. I\u2019d love to see that original bill of sale and perhaps a copy of the magazine article. If you can send a copy of either one I\u2019ll follow up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Ford \u2018pick-up\u2019 trivia<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Q: Greg you may know this bit of trivia, but in case your readers don\u2019t, here\u2019s how the truck would come to be called a pick-up truck.<\/p>\n<p>Because the Ford Model T was affordable, a lot of farmers bought them. The farmers then realized that if they cut the back of the car off and bolted in some boards&nbsp;they could haul the many items a farmer produced and farm equipment needed. They would not need to hook up the horses to a wagon as they did prior.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Next, the marketing folks from The Ford Motor Company realized this could be a<br \/>\nwhole new market by building a truck that was ready for farm use. However, Henry Ford wanted nothing to do with adding to or changing his beloved Model T. Still, the marketing guys were finally able to convince Henry to let them build a truck \u201cBox\u201d in kit form that could be added to the Model T. This eliminated the need for the farmers to make a homemade version out of wood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The challenge was to get the box kit to the farmer, as most car dealers were located in a city or large town and not in the rural farming areas. Shipping the Box Kit via railroad was the answer, as the rails would go through every small town in America. Once the Box Kit arrived at the rail station, the station manager would \u201cring up\u201d the farmer and tell him he had a \u201cPick Up\u201d and to come and get it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_89464\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2022\/04\/Car_Collector5-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-89464\" class=\"size-full wp-image-89464\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2022\/04\/Car_Collector5-1.jpg\" alt=\"Cars We Remember\/Collector Car Corner; Electric cars, rare Pontiac G-37 and some truck trivia\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2022\/04\/Car_Collector5-1.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2022\/04\/Car_Collector5-1-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2022\/04\/Car_Collector5-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2022\/04\/Car_Collector5-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-89464\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Ford Model T was many times re-worked into a pickup truck thanks to homemade efforts and then via a box kit made available from Ford.

Now you know the story &#8211; behind the story. Keep those columns coming. Randy Lawton, Berwick, Pa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A: Thanks Randy for the trivia. It\u2019s ironic that even though Henry Ford didn\u2019t want to build a pickup, to this day the Ford F-Series is one of the best selling pickups in the world. I remember the many \u201cFarm Truck\u201d pickups advertised in the newspapers back in the 50s and 60s that were stripped down, \u201cwork only\u201d trucks, unlike today\u2019s luxury pickups that offer everything when it comes to modern technological wonders. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again for your email.
