    I just spotted this in FB MP, so I took a screenshot to post here. If the person who posted this was supposed to have permission to use the image but doesn't, hopefully it'll help your lawyer nail them with a Cease and Desist order:

    And yes, I was able to zoom in enough to read 'NOMARO' on the license plate.

    That is an old picture someone took of me at the Woodward Dream Cruise in Michigan a few years ago. I was unable to find the ad on Marketplace. My only concern is if they had my car for sale and were scamming people into sending them deposits. My 56 is also on the internet as a puzzle that someone created from a picture of me driving down Woodward Ave. another year I attended the Cruise. https://www.jigidi.com/jigsaw-puzzle/h527ohp7/phantom-1956-chevy-el-camino/ I never took either picture so my only claim is that I am the builder and owner of these cars.

    Ah, OK, well if I run into the ad again, I'll post the URL. The ad also had an SUV and another car, as part of what they were 'selling,' which was car purchasing on bad credit...and that makes me instantly suspicious right off the bat.

    Nearly two years later, I ran into this FB post (screenshot here):

    I posted what you did, why, and this thread link. We'll see what everyone says, if they get over themselves and look at this baby as something nice.

    There will always be detractors, no mater what. I always try to focus on the positive side. Just makes life more enjoyable.

    When was the last time RMay was onsite?
    NM, I pulled the stick out, and looked it up--this morning.

    I don't let negative comments bother me. My rides are my ideas, my design and my builds. The best part is when I am behind the wheel. By far the positive compliments far outweigh the negative ones. The Custom 56 was signed by Gene Winfield, the Nomaro was written up in some national publications and both were nicely recognized by Ken Lingenfelter. My favorite admirers are my Family and Grandchildren.

    Attending Camaro Superfest this weekend with the Nomaro. We had a nice visit today to check out Ken Lingenfelter's private collection. Here are a few rare wagon types from that visit. ling1.jpg ling2.jpg ling6.jpg ling9.jpg
