The Mercedes mention in Mr. Mercedes is an actual Mercedes and not a Buick--or Rolls Royce, for that matter. Just thought I'd clear that up.

1958 Plymouth Fury engine compartment.jpg
I am a huge car guy. Wait a minute...I am a real car nut...really into cars... Anyway, I understand the point you are trying to make, but just let it go, brother. It be fictonal. Pure escapism. A much needed and welcome respite from the disaster that is the real, totally fubar-ed mess of a world that exists just outside the book covers.

I have written a sequel to the movie, and tried to be authentic, even going so far as to purchase an owner's and service manual for the '58 Plymouth, but I might have missed something, also.

...I love a car where you can actually get under the hood and TURN a wrench....my '69 is like that....
The engine in that car might be one that passed through my hands at the Trenton Engine Plant, way back in the day. Don't think anyone will be drooling over most of today's cars, fifty years from now.
...our build sheet specifies Lynch Road Plant...
That might be the [final] assembly plant (I worked for a short time at the Mound Road Assembly plant). Does it say where the engine came from?
...not sure, when I get a minute-I'll drag my notebook out and have a gander...
...it's a 318 V-8, so it would be neat if you had something to do with it...
