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.
