Dave,

I thought you'd be able to look past cars for just a moment.  But I'll spell it out
for you.  Ever bought Coke? McDonalds? etc. ad nauseum.

Can't say I've seen the ads for the Edsel (not being alive in 1958 kind of does that
to you :-) ).  But I have seen ads for Eunos, Lexus, Ford, etc., and while I take
little notice of them, others do.

Ciao
Fuzzy
