Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I believe I read the lady has passed on to her reward. She was a "Grande Dame". Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Obvious from this video she was not your average lady and was the tip of the iceberg. She has quite a background. And yes she did just pass on May 17thhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Dunning Edited May 31, 2015 by JZRIV (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes she did just pass on May 17thhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_DunningAhh, man, how sad. That was just two weeks ago. Dying at 104, just a few days shy of 105, makes you appreciate living life to its fullest. I just read the Wikipedia article on her. What a grand lady! RIP Margaret Dunning.

ScarredKnightfan Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Yep, she just died a couple weeks ago now. Quite the lady, indeed. On another forum I was on at the time, someone posted that original video when it was 1st available (2011, I think?) ... & the comments just kept pouring in. It was quite remarkable. A friend Emailed me a week or so ago to see if I'd heard she had died. I didn't know her personally, of course, but ... quite an automotive connection.

Dandy Dave Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I met her at the Eyes on Design Show held on the Edsel Ford Estate grounds several years ago. She told me it was getting hard for her to steer the car. Dandy Dave! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
