[enjenjo]

I know which one you Googled too. LOL Lots of mistakes there. I'll do the answers later after every one has a shot at them.

I think the answer to number 10 is Chevrolet, circa 1927

Woops, scratch that, I thought it said overhead VALVES, not cam.

[ripper]

re number 10 didn't Chev make an OHV V8 in 1917 in limited numbers, like under a 1000?

[Uncle Bob]

#10 would be the Ford 999 of 1902

#7 would be the 1914 Pierce Arrow (depending on what your definition of "in" is.............no I'm not a disbarred Arkansas lawyer. )

[DrJ]

4 First AC I think was a '39 Packard Station Wagon
6 Deuce
7 My guess was a Pierce Arrow on the headlights.
10 Crosley?

looking up "trivia" is cheating so I'm done.

[enjenjo]

Packard was the first with AC, 39 or 40 depending on the source. Pierce was the first with headlights in the fenders, 1925. Ford was the first with a monoblock V8 casting. Cadillac was the first with a production V8 in 1915. The first power steering was Ruxton in 1929. the first with factory turn signals was Buick in 1938. First curved winshield was Imperial in 1937. First Overdrive was Chrysler and Desoto in 1934. First curved side glass was Rambler, and Cadillac in 1964. First production overhead cam was Deusenburg in 1925.

[purplepickup]

First curved side glass was Rambler, and Cadillac in 1964.

Oh, you meant curved the other way

[enjenjo]

Oh, you meant curved the other wa

Should have said roll up side glass, huh?

[Uncle Bob]

Well, if we're gonna pick nits;
The original questions didn't specify "production", and Pierce Arrow had integrated headlamps in 1914.
