Another change for 1971 B Body Chrysler cars; No more standard 15" tires when you ordered the Hemi. You got G70x14 RWL tires with G60x15 RWL optional. F70x14 RWL for the 340 and 383 . . . G70x14 RWL for the 440+6 and Hemi

Something interesting about the 1971 Boss 351 - It's the only Ford high performance engine (1968+) that doesn't use an AIR pump to meet emissions.

The narrow island between Manhattan and Queens is known as Roosevelt Island, and features a quiet neighborhood and park. But in the early 1900s, architects wanted to turn the island into a civic center.

Times Square is one of the world's top tourist attractions, but in the 1970s, the famous location was crime-ridden. To revitalize Times Square, one designer proposed an eccentric tower.
