The old persons' quiz

meh I knew 6 :eek

 

All foreign cars had a screw jack which almost all cars have now but American cars had what is probably best called a pump jack. You would take a long lever usually a combo lug nut wrench and hub cab remover and with each pump the car would go up a notch. It was a little more work but a lot faster but some said not as safe as a screw jack.

 

look at cool cars?

 

Yep, your right it's a called a bumper jack.

As for the Imp at the drive-in, if you'll look at the picture of the Muntz Jet, you'll see it has two spot lights. Back in the 50s it was cool to have two of them on your car and when the Imp jumped around you were suppose to follow it with your spot lights.
