The engraved die of the Treasury Building vignette was completed in the early part of December 1927. The engraver was Louis S. Schofield. There are four cars included in this vignette. These cars are of no specific make or model and each one is a creation of the designer who prepared the original model which was later used by Mr. Schofield when he made the original hand-engraved die of this vignette.
It would not be possible to have specific makes of automobiles engraved on the Treasury vignette for the $10 bill, which would be a composite model, without making it appear that we were sponsoring the product of one or another automobile manufacturer. Legal requirements will not permit a government agency to indicate its endorsement of a commercial firm or product. The four automobiles engraved into this design are similar in appearance to various models of cars being manufactured at that time. However, again, the cars in the design are of no specific make or model.

Poor Rudedog... hope you get better soon. It's been to quiet around here with you being good and not bugging people by wandering around all over and making us chase you down. :cry:
hey greenbean...sorry it took so long to get back to you on this question. We went to Chicago to a Cub game today. The traffic was soo back on the way there it took from our house in Kenosha to our seats at the game, 4 1/2 hours to get there! We were almost an hour late for the game. But that was ok, with going through 14 innings, and rain delays several times the 3:00 game didn't end until almost 9:00! Wow, it was a great game though..
Oh almost forgot! The answer! Yes you are correct.
Most everyone will say it is a Model T on the back of the bill, but actually it is a car made up of around 5 different models at that time. Not any one vehicle is used. I was hoping to trick you into saying the model T
What was the revolutionary idea in the founding of Alexandria, Egypt that set it apart from all previously founded contemporary cities?
smacks head...think bean think!!!....great question Crys...just saw it but will try to have the answer by tonight. If i dont post it...then ill leave it up for someone else...i usually find the answers the same day.
We should also make it a rule here for the trivia forum that all answers must have the source provided. Some great info can come from sources. Only Earl has stumped me the longest on a trivia question...but this may do it too.
There are actually two correct answers to this, though one of them isn't really correct because it had been done for millenia, it still reached its height in the city planning of Alexandria (in my own opinion anyway -- I'm biased though).
The answer I'm thinking of, however, is also something that had been done other places but on a much smaller scale. Others took the idea and tried to repeat it, but not until modern times was it again so successful.
im bald now from ripping out my hair..havent slept in days..bags under my eyes the size of volvos...fingers blistered from typing out searches..keyboard is worn out...ive failed...someone get this answer!
ok geenbean..I haven't looked at this one yet so I will check it out and see if I go bald with you! I better not though..since I have long hair now and not sure if I look good without! lol
ok..I may be way off the mark here so don't laugh...
since you mentioned something about we now take this for granted...the only thing I see:
The location was ideal for it was intermediate between Greece across the Mediterranean and the rest of Egypt. At that time, the Nile was connected to the Red Sea through a canal, and Alexandria could serve as a gateway to the Indian Ocean. The city plan was designed by the Greek architect Dinocrates.
So my final answer is: the fact that they built a 'gateway' with a 'canal' and no other city had this connection to the Red Sea.
