OK Bob - One more (not Ford)
By Bill Conley - 03/20/2002 11:28:30 PM; IP 67.227.19.169
One more and then I have to lay off for a week. I'm going to Europe!

BTW- I loved Dan's story about the Town Cars. Dan- did you have one of those jackets that the Town Car guys used to wear? They were beatiful, embroidered, and I'm sure pretty expensive. The front had the Lincoln logo and the guy's name. The back had a big embroidered image of the 1990 Town Car and the words, "Lincoln Town Car - Because Girth is Everyrhing!".

I've still got tons of adventures from my Ford days, but here's a great one I got from an old AMC pilot plant guy.

The AMC Pacer was a pretty important program for the company. When the first "body-in-white" (prototype) was being assembled at the pilot plant, the whip was really cracking on the techs.

They got the vehicle together in record time and then it came time to fire it up. One of the techs goes over to the rack, picks up a battery, and goes over to the car. He looks in the engine compartment - no luck. He looks in the trunk - no luck. Several minutes of head scratching, and finally he calls a supervisor. More phone calls, and within an hour a bunch of Body Engineers are swarming around the car. In walks the Chairman of the company, who rips everybody a new one for ..... forgetting to package the battery in the vehicle.

Apparently it took a month of round-the-clock work to get it fixed.
This thread, so far...
