This happens to me all the time! A few weeks ago, I had occaision to drive
Virgil, my '78 NYB to New York City. I parked in a public garage, where the
attendant was duly impressed. He handed me my claim check for the car, which
I slipped into my wallet without looking at it. Later on, when I went back
to retrieve Virgil, I noticed what the attendant wrote on the ticket: Yellow
Lincoln! Similar things have occurred with my '56 Imperial, and even more
often with the '68. Someone even said they thought the '68 sedan was a
Rolls-Royce! It keeps me amused, to say the least.
