Because rose roots grow...
...eyes as well as into the hands of potential customers, the automen keep hundreds of new cars in Hollywood, lend them to studios for a year in return for a guarantee that they will be used in movies and TV shows. A new Lincoln was squeezed into a tiny cube by a giant press in the James Bond movie Goldfinger; the villain who arranged the crush-out to get rid of a rival carted off the metal remains in, of all things, a Ford "Ranchero" pickup truck! Chrysler has signed agreements with no less than 17 TV shows...
