Does anyone remember the Plymouth troubleshooting contest's held in the 60's and 70's...?
Aspiring high school students were selected to compete against time to locate and correct several problems on identically rigged cars.
Sponsered by Plymouth who would supply new cars for the event.
It started as local, then regional and ended up on a national level with a champion team of young mechanics who would win all kinds of cool things and a scholarship to Motech.
The cars each were rigged for a about a dozen simple malfunctions under the hood which would be diagnoised and corrected by the student. Shortest time wins. Some things were simple, (tape around the battery post and the cable reconnected), and others required more complex diagnosis.
I'm not sure when the program was ended...
Heres a couple of shots of one of the trophys awarded.... you 62 guy's will enjoy this...
