    Are you sure? I herd Chrysler would lure people to Corinth Vermont to see the scenic beauty, then trap them and skin them.

    You shouldn't make things up. Someone might believe you.

    Naugahide:
    My mistake and apology for wrong spelling.
    There is a "u". Naugahide and Naugahyde both appear to be used.
    So my WAG of Naga India or Nagasaki was ill founded.
    Thatz interesting history about Naugee critters. I thought they were a bit larger than sheep - hmmm. Government or someone might have secret ranch and is raising them. Extinct story is likely a conspiracy same as Roswell was a weather ballon.

    Corinthian leather:
    Studebaker was huge builder of Conestoga and other wagons, so it follows that first seat cover use was on one. I bet Johnny reported how well Corinthian leather worked and started use as seat covers.

    Would Ricardo really make up that Chrysler used leather from Corinthians instead of regular leather ?
    Either it was Corinthian leather obtained by Chrysler Corp hunters or a marketing guy told him it is Corinthian leather. Auto industry is intriguing.

    I was just re-watching old races, mourning the retirement of my main man in auto racing, when I came across this race. There's a commercial break with Ricardo Montalban asking, "Where's the Rich Corinthian Leather?!"
