"Posi-Traction"

[edit]

I believe that "Posi-Traction" is simply a brand-name (GM, I believe for a Limited-slip differential). Although many people use "Posi-traction" as a catch-all phrase (like "Kleenex" or "Band-Aid"), technically it is incorrect to use it to describe a non-GM vehicle. Therefore, I'm going to change it to "Limited-slip differential and add a link..45Colt 02:16, 31 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Deleted paragraph from article not written or reference properly. Placed it on the talk page.

[edit]

Re the M422, there's narrative not mentioned here but recounted by Pat Foster in the December 2020 issue of Hemmings Classic Car. Per that story a Kansas City, Missouri, engineer, Ben F. Gregory, designed and built the prototype of what would be the Mighty Mite; initially he planned to produce it himself but then sold the rights to AMC.  Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.169.215 (talk) 17:57, 20 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

The end of paragraph 2 is repeated at the beginning of paragraph 3... "However, after the war, a self-taught engineer, pilot, and auto racer, Ben F. Gregory, conceived a mini-jeep design and built a successful prototype, later named the "MM-100"... The Mighty Mite was first conceived between 1946 and 1947, by a self-taught engineer, pilot, and auto racer from Missouri, Ben F. Gregory." Fanccr (talk) 11:39, 9 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
