I did see that movie in film class.
40 year old movie? It was made in 1971, so it’s more than 50 years old at this point
How could you have missed the customized 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III from the film “The Car”
In the good old days they would have just sold them then denied warranty coverage when they blew up on the owners.
All this does is remind me that Mazda missed an opportunity to infuse LeMans-winning 787B cues into my 2012 Mazda5 minivan.
I’ve seen a few things after my years of working at a dealership:
During my F&I days in Austin in the mid-90's, I saw some stuff. Some of it I can still remember. Here are a few quick gems.
Right on the nose, the weirdest thing I’ve seen at a dealership was a used car seller in Lincoln, NE who was locally known as “Weird Wally”. He sold junker cars for cheap, did shoddy work (when he deigned to do repair work), and never pretended to be anything other than what he was.
Case in point: A friend of my dad’s…
1919?
I used to work at Tesla in the early days, and would moonlight for sales on the weekend doing test drives and evaluating trade-ins. One Day a Russian lady came into the dealer with her used model s and wanted to trade it in for a new one. It was odd to us because she had only bought it six months ago.
The weirdest thing I’ve seen at a dealer? Myself. When I worked for a big three dealership back in the 90s I stood out as possibly the only employee without a criminal record.
I had a 3-month car sales career but in those 3 months, man, the shit I saw.
