Mystery Car Unveiled



CWMC Long-Term-Storage Bunker, Ardrossan, Ab: The long-awaited and hotly-debated Mystery Car has been identified by the CWM experts, the result of six months' intensive research and countless hours hidden in a sealed, off-grid underground facility next to the Tacotime on 34th, combing the stacks of dusty ephemera for any clues as to the nature of this strange beast.
Several unfortunate agents were assigned to the unenviable task of discovering the car's nationality, genus, and species. A tall order; but who, just last year, identified the last surviving Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8c Special Cabriolet by LeBaron, parked at Kar Basher? Thats right! Cold War Motors' Historically Ambiguous Autos Division. Turns out it was a Hillman Avenger, but no matter, CWM was on the case.
Sometimes, it seemed like an impossible task, given the huge number of auto manufacturers that have existed over the last hundred years, and the painstakingly slow and methodical research methods needed to preserve the scientific validity of the results, if any, of the study.
Abarth, Alfa Romeo, AMC, Aston Martin, Auburn, Austin, Avanti...
Half a year later, just as the finished car was delivered to its owner, the team had an answer, and an envelope was rushed to a well-lubed President, who was struggling to keep the car's owner entertained, or to keep standing up, for that matter. The Prez, now concentrating deliberately on elementary motor skills, grandly placed his right hand over one eye and proceeded to squint for a few minutes at the piece of paper.
"C...A...M...A...R...O..., Oh, its an El Camino. Sweet."
"Does it say the year?"
"Mmm...?"
"What year is it?"
"...'fuck should I know?"

Another Mystery Car success story at CWMC.
