I had another "Q boat":  a '65 Riviera Gran Sport.  425 ci with factory
dual 4 barrels.  Have a framed Buick ad somewhere in a box in my garage
out of a Life magazine of the time that described a Q boat as a WW II
merchant ship with hidden guns.

It certainly was a sleeper, especially 20 years later when I was still
driving it (inherited it from my parents the day I turned 16).  It's
ability to accelerate also far exceeded it's ability to turn or stop.
