Google queen.

Definitely.

I actually knew that. I read it somewhere.

Actually, you said a prototype before the 901, so I narrowed it down to the Type 114 and the 695. I didn't even bother thinking of the 356/1. It obviously wasn't the 114, so 695 was my only other option.

Nope.


Edit:  Apparently, that's a viable answer.  It's not the answer I found, but I just came across a website stating that as the reason.  So you're up.

Okay.

Henry Ford himself at one time owned the world land speed record, pilotting a four cylinder vehicle of almost 800 CID almost to 100 MPH. He was later stripped of the record on what grounds?

I googled it, and while I didn't find a quote expressedly saying Henry Ford's record was stripped because _______, I think I figured it out.

Needless to say it's a tricky, tricky technicality.

The first two-way run wasn't until 1914, well after Ford set his record.

Nope, but JC's probably got it. It has to do with the definition of Land speed...

Yep. He wasn't on land, he was on the frozen surface of Lake St. Clair.

It's a model. It goes (or at least used to go) VE, CE, LE, XLE.

LE used to be "Luxury Edition", but I think CE is a fairly recent trim name for Toyota. (Used to be called "DX.") Don't know that it's supposed to mean anything.

On a Corolla? It probably means caveat emptor

I'm rather surprised no one has gotten it yet.  The only reason I know is that the words "XXXXXXX Edition" were right under the CE on the car.
