I guess I should add a disclaimer to my original post. I've learned almost everything I know about automotive history from a book on Chrysler I bought for $2.50 the day before the Walter P. Chrysler Museum closed, perusing through some of the Gerber scrapbooks at the Skillman Branch of the DPL, and a watching a couple videos on Ford [[including all of the videos that accompany Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry mural at the DIA). So I have colorful accounts, but apparently I may lack accuracy.
