Learned something new!

Now I don't want to give anyone the impression that I think I know everything about cars...'cuz I don't

But, being an old(er) car guy that has been studying the subject for close to a 1/2 century it's not everyday I learn something new.
So most of you guys an gals know that some mopar's came with reverse threaded lug nut on the drivers side right? I thought they were the only ones.
But did you know Roll Royce's Had the same design on the lugs well into the '80's? I didn't!
They may still have that design for all I know.

Yep, saw that on a recent episode of Fast and Loud.

And most ambulances (fords anyway) did too. I think a lot of heavy street vehicles did as a matter of fact.

I posted this on a British Mopar Forum and yes RR,S had left hand threads with brass nuts, till about 2000 and bentleys had them until 2003.

One also said they had a Kia in the Philippines with left had studs

I can attest that Studebaker used LH lugs in the '50s

I didn't know about it until I bought my 70 Challenger. Have to admit that one of the first things I did was pull them out and put in some right hand threads.  Not exactly stock, but it made it easier for an old guy.
