Was watching Barrett Jackson Scottsdale on Velocity tonight, and was completely dumbfounded by their auctioning of a 1962 F-150. I always knew, or thought I knew, that the F-150 started in 1975. What gives?
Either the seller listed it as an F150, or Barrett-Jackson hasn't a clue.
I see mistakes like this all the time, people don't know what they have, auctioneers don't have a clue.
I attended a Kruse auction once, a 1932 Packard appeared on the block, they said it was a 120. No such thing as a 120 until 1935, the Packard was a Standard Eight.
Somebody made a simple mistake, not knowing when or how the numbers changed. Look at how many closed captioning mistakes you see in subtitles. My favorite - a classic NFL error when the typist dropped a letter and described the quarterback as "the first non-Moron to graduate from BYU"
