I get these.
1. Who made Packard?
2. Who built engines for them?
I have the name of my repair/sales shop "North Hills Packards" on the side of my shop truck. So, I get
3. where is your shop? I need a new laptop.
4. What year Hudson is that? The 1949 only says Packard on the trunk.
I used to get irritated. But, now I just get amused at the extent of the general public's ignorance and try to educate them.
Oh yes, I also get the question "what year Chevy did it come out of" when I tell them it has a 327 in it.
I also have gotten a question about my power windows. One gentleman asked my wife, at a show, what kind of power windows are those, what kind of car did they come out of. She politely told him they came in the car. He said no, what kind of car did they come out of. She told him they came in the car when it was new from the factory. He went away mumbling about what a dumb broad she was. I'll have to admit, that one irked me.
