Deluxe Model

It's time for the new puzzler.

For this one, you have to use your imagination. Imagine it is many years ago, and you overhear a conversation happening near you. You hear your neighbors talking.

Okay here's what you overheard.

"Boy, it was a great machine and the Ford dealers sold me the deluxe model for only $1 more."

And then later on in the conversation you hear, "So then I would go back to the Ford dealership where I would buy the fuel for only five cents a pound."

What are they talking about?

And the hint is you couldn't get this at your Chevrolet dealer, or your Buick dealer.

Good luck.

Remember last week's puzzler?

Cars and Ships

This puzzler was sent in to us a long, long time ago from a very loyal listener.

Here it is, word for word.

Years ago, cars commonly had something that almost all sea-going ships still have. On both the cars and the ships, this thing runs from forward, aft on the port side and aft, forward on the starboard side.

For people who don't know sailing terminology, that means front to back on the left and back to front on the right.

This is something that was on both cars and ships in plain sight.

Hint! Ships still have it, but most cars do not have it now.

What was it?
