I'm wondering if you are implying this to a Military or Civilian engine?

...post-war, production, civilian passenger car.

It wasn't the 156cid (2.6L) Mitsubishi-powered Chrysler cars.

While I don't like to give away clues...especially since many of my trivia questions have hidden tricks about them...I'll give you that one.

The engine was designed in the US.

I don't think anyone knows. You should give us the answer.

I'll have one last guess though. Is it in a Jeep?

Since nobody likes this question...here's the answer:

Pontiac had a 194.5cid (3.2L) four-cylinder in the first Tempest in 1961. The engine was, quite literally, half of a 389cid V8.

Anyone care for some more trivia?

Question Four:
What is the most recent American-built passenger car to be powered by an inline-six cylinder engine?

Remember...PASSENGER CAR, no trucks....not the Trailblazer/Envoy/Bravada or Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee/Wrangler.

Both Chrysler and Ford stopped using I6 engines in 83.

I believe the last was the AMC Eagle of 1987.

There was a 1988 AMC Eagle with a 4.2L six...but even that's not the most recent.

The Fifth Avenue (and Dodge Diplomat/Plymouth Gran Fury) gave up its six-cylinder in favor of a standard 5.2L/318cid V8 in the mid 1980s. It was not this car.

The Answer:

The BMW Z3/M Coupe/M Roadster are still produced with inline six-cylinder engines and the car is produced in Spartanburg, SC.

Anymore questions?
