Is there a need for an auto salesman novelist?
When looking at cars for sale I often encounter these flowering description of the the times surrounding the era of the time of manufacture such as:
" We are pleased to present this 1963 Chevrolet II Nova Convertible for purchase. The Chevy II Nova was rushed in to production in 1962 to give buyers a “compact” car with maximum performance per dollar. This was the more conventional sport vehicle than the Corvair, and 1st generation Nova’s were a considerable success." Although this ad goes on to describe this particular car but many give very little to no information related to the car for sale. I believe it was Harry Chapin that described one of the guys in the bar as a "real estate novelist". These guys are auto salesman novelists. "Give me the facts ma'am, just the facts". |

Actually it was Billy Joel in 'Piano Man' who referenced the real estate novelist. Harry Chapin was the wannabe pilot who loved the actress

Thanks for the correction. Must have been a senior moment on my part.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
