I vividly remember a news segment announcing the Dale on channel 7 news in Los Angeles at the time. Carmichael had them completely fooled.

I saw a story about that. It was ran by a woman, only the woman was really a man. 8>)

Geraldine Elizabeth "Liz" Carmichael (born Jerry Dean Michael, 1927 – February 2004) was an American automobile executive and convicted fraudster. During the 1970s energy crisis, Carmichael promoted a prototype for a low-cost fuel-efficient car via Twentieth Century Motor Car Corporation, but fled with investor money. She was captured in 1989, and served 18 months on fraud charges.
