Another "What's Wrong With This Picture?"

[Hudsy Wudsy]

Here's a link to a C/L ad for a '37 or '38 Plymouth for sale in Ottawa, Kansas. Does anything strike you as strange about this Plymouth?:

You mean aside from the fact it ain't a Plymouth?

[Ozstatman]

'39 Packard

I'll bet the guy found a "P" on something in the car and settled for "Plymouth." Maybe he forgot about Pontiac.

[Mike36]

With that P on it, it must be a Porsche.

[auburnseeker]

Could be a Peugot.

How about POS?

[Plyroadking]

Must be a Kansas thing, here's the "Dodge" I bought last Friday

 The strangest thing about this pic is that they didn't have the men in the white coats holding up the owner for the pic.

I thought the common theme between both postings was the use of one or two snow treads on the front tires!

 Someone needs to tell him that it is a rare Peirce Arrow Limo and verify by checking  the wheel base, it is longer than a Plymouth.

'Pears to me that he has an extra zero in the price.

Cash in person? One has to show up with hundred dollar bills. Hmmm. Does he own it? Or is he hoping to sell it off someone else's property? Seems odd to me.

The other thing is "no bill of sale". Not sure what that means - it is not a term we use in NZ. But I expect it means "cash sale, no receipt". Very suspect.

Yeah, I guess that would be my take on it, too. He clearly wants to not be held accountable for selling it. I'm glad it's not of much value.

And the title is with whomever has the riparian rights.

Thank you for that. Any day that I have to go the dictionary to learn a new word is a good day.

Not Prius either.    But stuff sells because P. T Barnum was wright, one is born every minute.

Starts with "P," huh? Interesting fuel that is.

Actually it says "BILL OF SALE.....NO TITLE.....CASH IN PERSON ONLY".  A bill of sale is a document provided to the buyer by the seller wherein the latter describes the vehicle and certifies he/she is the rightful owner and is selling it to the buyer.  It can be substituted for a government-issued title in some states, including Kansas.  The seller is saying he does not have a title but will provide a bill of sale.  Dunno about the "CASH IN PERSON ONLY" - could be fraud.  Or it could be that he doesn't want to mess with check, wire transfer, etc and will not ship the car - you have to pick it up in person.

Good excuse for drinking lots of beer..."But honey, I have to fuel up the non-Plymouth!"
