Unlike most of our trivia experts, Frankie never attended college. Instead, he spent hours under the hoods of many automobiles, vans, and trucks at his father's repair shop in the Mid-Atlantic region. Those hours of changing oil filters, repairing radiator leaks, and replacing fan belts paid great rewards, however. Frankie has contributed more than a few quizzes about motor vehicles, reminding us why Chevy Impalas became popular vehicles and how Edsel did not help the Ford family of vehicles with the car named after him. Although he primarily works with domestic vehicles, Frankie is also an expert in many import models.
