Misses a Few Cylinders.... I have verified that the original manuscript of Appointment in Samarra states that Al Grecco was driving a V-61 Cadillac coach. Thanks to Sandra Stelts, Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts at Penn State, and thanks to our son George Saliba for his research in finding it was a V-16 (16 cylinders). I guess the author got it wrong and no one caught it. |
