I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I've read in a couple places that a rather generic way to determine how many cars may be left is to simply assume only 10% of the cars are still in existence...I imagine it works out pretty close for some cars, but is likely way off for many others. If you had a time machine, you could always go back in time and put tracking devices on each car as they rolled off the line....when you wanted to see how many were left, just start hunting down the tracking signals...just need to round up a Delorean, a flux capacitor, and some plutonium....would movies ever lie? ----- Original Message ----- From: "paul holmgren" <paulholm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <L-FORWARDLOOK@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 10:12 PM Subject: Re: [FWDLK] HOW MANY ARE LEFT? > ALSO, and this is a biggy. > I have 2 cars that are still around, one undergoing resto, the other > unmolested but parked for a long time.
