friend THOUGHT was a Dimilia?.

| The story is that someone who knows nothing about automobiles in
general that runs a limousine rental service is calling this car a
Dimilia. I knew what it was as soon as I saw their brochure. Good
thing they don't rent out the Denbeigh-Smedley Royal Crown Regency.
They would really mess up that one...

| Now that you've mentioned the Denbeigh-Smedley, and what a fine
car that was, I wonder if any noters remember that great old
classic the Rolls-Canardly, and could explain it's heritage.

| I remember the Rolls Canardly with great affection. My first 3 cars were all
Rolls Canardlys! I can't shed much light on their history. There must have been
variations of the Rolls Canardly about since the dawn of the motor car but
during the fifties and sixties every other family had one. By the affluent
eighties they had almost dissappeared until the arrival in Western Europe of
a little known but well qualified East German variation.
