"Is that an MG?" - while driving my Cobra replica
On my Cutlass convertible, I've removed all the external "Oldsmobile" and "Cutlass" emblems. I've had people wander around it, then look at me with glazed eyes and say, "What is it?" Sadly, some STILL don't know what a Cutlass is, when I tell them! One guy, said, "CUTLASS!!! ........ who made those?" I told him Oldsmobile, to which he replied, "OLDSMOBILE!!! ....... was that a GM brand?"
Of course, when I had my 67 Firebird, I heard "NICE Camaro!" more times than I want to remember.
