You don't EVEN want to know what people go through with DeLoreans...
But it's enough to fill several books.
Anyway... The funniest story I've got is that an older gentleman with
a southern accent approached me and my 1958 Plymouth Belvedere 2 door hardtop at
a show... "Boy, why did you put
Plymouth nameplates on a Cadillac?"
I assured him that it was indeed a Plymouth, but he refused to believe
it.
"What you got here is a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado..." Even showing him the owner's manual,
dealer brochure, and service manual failed
to convince him. "I don't know what scam you're trying to pull, or for the life of me, why... But you sure have
gone to a lot of trouble to convince
people that your Cadillac is a Plymouth!"
At this point, I finally realized there would just be no arguing with
the guy, when he ended the conversation by
telling me that of course, I could never
know much about these cars because I wasn't even born when they were produced. =)
I also constantly get people arguing that
they never made a DeSoto Seville... but that's another story as
well.
