History of Universal Motors

Very interesting, thanks. The A4 look was there in 1915. What a run for the A4: 1947 to 1984. A whole generation of sailors from 1947, and now two more long after end of production. Not too many engines can claim that kind of success. Imagine the A4-powered stories that have gone untold into history. Pot-O-Gold's 6,000 nautical mile trip completing the Great Loop last year on a 1960's A4 is yet another example.
