The Ridges on the F and J Letters of the Keyboard …… help people remember where to align their index fingers while typing on 'QWERTY' keyboards.

One of the most famous logos of all time is a peacock with 6 colored feathers. Each feather symbolizes one of the 6 divisions of the company (at the time when the logo was created). In the negative, you can see the head of the peacock looking to the right, and this indicates that the company is looking ahead to the future.

The most obvious reason for the hole at the end of a pot handle is to hang the pot, but it has another use too. The next time you need somewhere to put the spoon you’re cooking with, you’ve got a handy spot!

I have known this car since 1960, it was purchased in Inwood Iowa from a company called Grotewold Motors by a knowledgable salesman Dick Hanson. Dick had read that they were going to make less than 10 RPO 576’s with 4-spd manual transmissions and 4.11 positraction rear ends. These cars used NASCAR engines and added tri-power carberators and they were rated at 335 HP. This is probably the rarest Chevrolet on the planet. I can find no others in existance today.

A Chevy PR photo. Were pinstripes (as shown) an option on the 1968 SS 396?
