[DML] Re: Useless History - was Source for Struts

["cbl1739" <cbl302@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Big question is what happened to the Chevy part of the 
business...seems GM did NOT like the Grady's being in the DMC 
business or something like that...or?? This question was asked before 
but No answer was given, Grady himself,ran around the question and 
just answered with how great he is with Deloreans,but the question 
was never answered.
