Garrett's story reminded me of a car "switch" many years ago in a movie some of
you may remember.
"The Long Long Trailer" was a Lucy & Desi film about their trip across the Rocky
Mountains with their new trailer towed by their new convertible. Although not
FWDLK their new convert was a '53 Mercury used throughout the film. However when
the car was pulling the trailer over the mountains, lo and behold it was
suddenly a '53 Lincoln!
After checking into the discrepancy at the time, it was reported the Mercury
couldn't do the job and they switched to the Lincoln figuring no one would
notice since the two cars were the same color!
