Let me guess; it's RARE, because you only built one of them!

I've seen some strange stuff come off the assembly lines.....and that one tops the list! And when you think about it.....it's not hard at all to do on the assembly line. Makes sense because you don't want your passengers getting out on the street side. Dad used to drive a cab in the late 50's and he would take me with him on the weekends to give my mom a break (yeah, I drove her up a wall) and I'd open the door for the little old ladies. Got lots of tips too Seems like I remember dad making the comment one time "dang it boy, you're making more money than I am" lol

That is actually a cute story....the kid OUTshining the dad!

How comical you really need to loosen up your pants they are cutting off your oxygen supply!!!

Video record your encounter with Rob. We'd like to see what happens. LOL!

Little old ladies like little kids....well, some probably weren't that old!

Update
Not only was Rob apologetic and said he will be correcting the mistake (not a retraction) But actually doing a spread on the car I had there Saturday. 65 Dodge Coronet TAXI.
Hawk has a post with it in front of our FBBO tent.

Yea, ya hippie! get a haircut!!

Oh man, did that over a month ago or so!! Short all over now....maybe an inch long in the back and the front is barely getting close to the eyes.

So now all the "offenses" are forgiven?? I love a happy ending!!!

My car got into Auto Enthusiast in 2011.

My submission was so edited that most who read it had the impression Billy built my car ... but I owned it for 12 years before we ever met. Maybe I should go have a few words with David?
Oh yeahhhh, that right. It's no longer published. Just like a lot of other magazines these days.

Happy endings are always better than crappy endings....

I have had some press over the years and had photo shoots and my cars in mags before. Never cared all that much. Hell, when I win a first place, class trophy or plaque at a car show or cruise night. I give it to one of the kids at the show.

 

[khryslerkid]

Funny you brought this thread up. It's kinda continued here...

Members car in this months MOPAR COLLECTORS GUIDE

 

[MIKESPOLARA]

Read the article......He mentioned another persons car. That was not in his magazine ever.

They took him out to dinner. Did you?

 

[fesser]

You think that's bad? My birthday came and went and no "Happy Birthday Fesser" on FBBO. If they miss it again, 30 years from now, I am going to be pissed. Actually the piss will probably be on me as I will be 91 then. Oh well. Guess I will just be happy with what I have in life and not worry too much about recognition.

 

[dadsbee]

I was interviewed on Motoring 90 TV, one hungover Sunday morning in the park in Orillia Ontario in front of the Bee and Bird. I should upload that memory some day....

Rob who??

MCG.... most recent issue. 1963 FURY FOUR DOOR MAX WEDGE.
MAKING A HUGE DEAL ABOUT AN ULTRA RARE 4 DOOR MAX WEDGE. ON Page 22
goes on and on and on about the rarity and there are only 2 known to exist and this guy has both of them "NOT".
THIS EXACT SAME MAGAZINE IN 1992 DID A 6 PAGE Article ABOUT MY 63 fury 4 DOOR MAX WEDGE.......They came to my house and did a photo shoot.
then ONLY one known to exist.
Fully documented and a feature car at Carlisle in the building.
Not one fu..ing word about my car...............WHICH AT THE TIME WAS FEATURED IN 3 OTHER NATIONAL MAGAZINES
How could Rob be so ignorant as to not remember my car.
I'll be looking for him at Carlisle this week..........and give him a piece of my mind.
WTF

I don't know how Rob could have forgotten. I wonder how many people he has talked to and cars he had seen since 92. Just sayin'.
