re: #122 Lizard by the Bay

We didn’t invent them, but for a time, we undeniably made the best ones in the world (Pierce-Arrow, Studebaker, Duesenberg, Stutz, etc.)

I’ll grant that most were engineered by German-Americans, but as far as I’m concerned, “American” is the operative part.

The assembly line refinement for automobile manufacturing was American. It was a refinement of an already existing idea.
