Well that is quite the Story/Tale now isn't it?
And now a Conspiracy theory too? lol
Lets add some more stuff and there may be a book written "Who Killed Aurora Cars"
The time a car was shipped to a Japan car show and didn't sell and no attempt to discount it for a sale so it wouldn't have to be $hipped back never happened. (fact)
The time AC bought a bunch of DeLoreans to try and resell for profit. (fact)
That was BLT (Before Larry's Time)
Maybe add some tales of sex, drugs and the mafia into this along with the conspiracy theory and you have a real whodunnit "Who Killed Aurora Cars".
Kinda like "Who Killed Harry Oakes" and still 60yrs later nobody knows?
It would be of interest to see the article written on the AC by Brock Yates.
I never saw one or know if he actually ever even wrote one but he did visit the plant and was "entertained".
One of these days I'm gonna hafta dig out my old pics of the cars and the plant and I do have LOTS of them. (putting note in job jar).
Should have enough to make a slide show and I already know what tune I'll use.
Bob Seger's "Making Thunderbirds" which came out in 1982 and played often on the radio in the shop.
We were a jammin in 1982 there.
"We were young and proud, we were making Thunderbirds".
BOB SEGER - MAKING THUNDERBIRDS. - YouTube
Guess I'm gonna hafta "throw a lil sand into the lube" and watermark my pics when I get around to posting them with that Bob Seger tune?
Something I just noticed is that Sympatico.ca Autos "appears" to have used MY Aurora Cars brochure pics for sale from the "General for Sale" in Club Cobra's site which are Copyright photos from Playboy.
It would "appear" that they used my pics in #8 which I could care less about.
But their photos # 16 and #17 ARE Copyright pics from Playboy "grabbed" from Club Cobra's site.
Somebody has some "splainin to do" here methinks?
Or will they be buying my 3 brochures from me???
Coinkodently $300 is the price I was given to redo the side and backglass tint of my new to me toy a '97 Acura NSX-T.
So sorry folks when I get around to posting pics they WILL be watermarked.
What a shame that sailboat owners that think just because the wind is free so, should everything else be free.
So you can thank Sympatico.ca Autos for that one.
