But not before they put some monkey motion heads on the Little 60.

To the original poster, are we also including British built V8's? The 1937 style 21 stud built into the 50's in Pilots and Thames commercial stuff?
I guess not the frog ones from the eighties and nineties, as you asked till 53. Would be 54 in Canada.
