And Fiat wishes we were all driving new trucks. Thats not going to happen either.
Send me your 72, I'll send you an 80.
There were a boatload of old Dodge 1/2 and 3/4 ton pick ups and Ramcharger like trucks back in the 80's. Must be scads of them laying around somewhere...
I would not be surprised to learn that there are one or more lots full of those old CUCCV trucks.
I'd live to find that! The dealers were required to kill them right on their lot, or close, something like that. I saw a video where they poured some concoction into the engine, which seized shortly after, they then pulled the engine and crushed the car. The car could not be sold, titled, parted, anything, it had to be destroyed so they could get their check from Uncle Scam. I don't think they cared about the vehicles, they sure don't care when I've been trying to buy from a dealership now, why would they have cared then?
i'm reffering to the overseas stock that is prepositioned all over Europe. I have been to a couple of those facilities and they have thousands of all kinds and sizes of vehicles that are sitting there still brand new. Now, this was 30 years ago, but then they had new vehicles that were 30 years old then. The idea is that the first troops to gear up would use up those old, but still new, vehicles while we moved newer stuff into place behind them. Like for a land war...
