A few years ago they printed a great article by Bill Haig debunking
the red 70 Daytona. I have seen MCG admit mistakes before, but this
is big hood-wink,, it'll be interesting to see how they handle this.
The bit about Mexico is lame. People know so little about exports
that when someone who can make themselves sound authorative, say a car is
an export, readers/onlooked will immediately say "oh, that explains it".
The complete BS part of an Mexico story is that in 1961, Automex
(Chrysler's agent in Mexico at the time) sold *both* Plymouth's
*and* Dodge's!!!
