    For years the styling studios and engineering departments had been using "X this" and "X that" for "Xperimental". The designers of the Y Job were so sick of it, they decided the next step after "X" should be "Y".

    This gives the lie to the idea that the Y Job was the first experimental car, the first show car, the first concept car or the first anything. That's all GM ********.

    When the following do***ent, link below, chronicling the history of the "concept car" was written, the two largest companies in the world (GM & Ford) both had headquarters in Detroit (GM by the way was twice as large as Ford at the time). During which, the auto industry was the biggest cash-cow in the American business world. The only GM bs came afterward in all the decades following the fifties when the company, and America's auto capital fell from grace, etc...
