Case in point. I was at the Chicago Auto Show a couple of years ago and there is this gal showing off the new Chrysler cars. Much of the styling was sort of retro with strong accents a la Virgil Exner, the great Chrysler designer of the 50's. I mentioned that fact to her and she didn't have a clue as to who I was talking about. No sense of history and Chrysler Marketing didn't appear to think that maybe a little education on their design history might have been appropriate in this situation. When I mentioned the 300 letter cars of the 50s, the Thomas Special Ghia built cars, and the K-310, she didn't know what I was talking about.

I just walked away. [/b]

THAT is hilarious.
