Rewriting history

[SAmadei]

Not really GM-merch related, but its close.

I recently picked up a '71 AMC AMX (HERE) and a '72 Ford Falcon XB (HERE).

On the packages, and on the website, the AMX is credited to being designed by Chrysler LLC, and born in Auburn Hills, Mich. The Ford is attributed to being Dearborn, uh, born. I'm sure the Aussies and AMC'ers would disagree.

Really wish Hot Wheels could get it right, but they probably claim somewhere that they invented Matchbox cars in 1953... 15 years before Hot Wheels' appeared.

One of the best ones I saw years ago due to name ownership moving around from M&As was an RC2/ERTL diecast Hudson Hornet, labeled on the packaging as a Chrysler Hornet...
