[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 382928, member: 237"] If you're REALLY a geek like me, you'll appreciate a nice, juicy scandal for movie cars. Chrysler had a fleet of press cars. They could be used for a lot of things, such as free loaners to executives, free loaners to the press, or product placement cars. One difference is that the Chrysler Corporation kept ownership of these cars he entire time, knowing they would eventually come back home and be sold. So they disconnected the odometers when the cars shipped out. Those cars used in the movies, TV shows, or executive loaners came back with thousands of miles on them, but the odometer showed zero miles. Chrysler cleaned up the cars, hooked up the odometers and sold those cars as if they were brand new cars with zero miles! J.R. would have been proud! [/QUOTE]
