That's interesting, because Rickenbackers were assembled in Detroit, the company was founded by Eddie Rickenbacker, a race car driver, former owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, US flying ace of WWI, winner of the Medal of Honor and a member of the Hat In The Ring Squadron.
True. And even more interesting to myself is the fact that I have a friend with whom we both looked into buying a 1925 Rickenbacker Brougham that had ended up near Plato Center, ILL.
This was back in the eighties. We couldn't come to terms, but the car, the car was in very nice original condition, including the spare tire cover that warned: 4 Wheel Brakes.

P.S. The Audi Eights from the 30's use the Rickenbacker engine.
Thanks, Berkeley, for the ad video. It looks like Charlie's truck needs a headliner!
Why Did they block out FORD ? Trademark reasons?
Below are a couple pics of my truck from catalog photo shoots.
The first one is Lands End. It is a photo proof they sent me to have and the FORD is on the hub caps. In the Pic in the actual catalog(that I can't find right now) the FORD on the hub caps is photo shopped out.
Also notice the difference in the front of the DS fender from the Lands End pic( they wanted patina) and the pic from an LL Bean shoot is was used for in 2015. I wish body and paint work were that easy, the fender still looks the same today as it did for the LE shoot in 2012.
Lands End proof pic before logo taken off hub cap. Note ding in front of fender. LE left all the patina in the pics they used. No my truck is no lowered, that model was about 6'1" or 6'2". LL Bean took the logos off the hub caps too but also did some body and paint work too. If only they had taken care of that ding in real life too.
