Dumb and dumber question :)

Just thinking! Well not really.
If GM goes bankrupt, will I then have an orphan engine in an orphan car?

Bankrupcy does not an orphan make... As long as they keep making cars, GM vehicles will not be orphans.
Of course if things keep going the way they are, there will be more orphans on the road than non-orphans.
Will that make one of Hudson's "claims to fame" (that of Hudson being an orphan car company) a bit less special? -

Would like to see a picture of that ornament...

Missed the cartoon, in the early 50's light up goose,bull, devil , about anything you wanted hood ornaments, guys useing the goose were said to be chasin a WILD GOOSE. The goose was said to not have any particular destination . ---BUD

Problem with this is. Mercedes took all they could from Chrysler then ran and at one time stated they only wanted Chryslers assets, namely 8 billion in reserves as I remember, (maybe could be wrong about that). Fiat IS the largest car manufactor in the world and has been around since the earlyest part of the last century and have built some really nice cars, So we will just have to wait and see.
