Oh, and get this. Robinson Crusoe may or may not have been based on the true story of a real-life castaway. Yeah. His name was Alexander Selkirk, and he was a Scottish sailor who got stranded on his own desert island off the coast of Chile for four very long years. Selkirk was eventually rescued in 1709 and his story appeared in print and periodicals in England.
Dodge - Dodge quit making AWD minivans in 2005, and instead has been pushing their Durango SUV with All-Wheel-Drive and the Journey and Caliber crossovers which also had AWD. Chevy/GMC - Until about 2005 the Chevy Astro and GMC Safari offered an AWD version of their larger-than-normal minivan.
>The Series IIIA Hillman Minx Special Saloon (1959 - 1960). I could imagine the caption for this catalogue shot to read: I have no idea why this bloody car's so big, why the tires alone must be 24 inches tall, and the overall dimensions approach that of a Buick!. The later Series IIIB and IIIC are very similar in appearance, with other refinements in the mechanicals. < The Series V Hillman Minx 1600 Sedan (1963 - 1964). The Chrysler Corporation takeover forced elimination of the stationwagon (Estate) and convertible models leaving only the sedan. The 13 tires were new to this model year, and I suspect part of the reason for the change was to make the overall car appear bigger. Note how the family is at least ten feet in back of the car... > The last Audax bodied car was the Sunbeam Minx 1600 Sedan (1965 - 1966). By this time, even the Hillman nameplate was gone - signaling the end was near. The final fate of the Hillman line was decided by Chrysler, who ended up selling all of Rootes for $1.00 U.S. to another car company due to increasing losses in revenue.
