My guess is during this time wealthy buyers were not interested in owning the best car, no matter what it cost.

Apparently your video has attracted a pack of Karen's. I appreciated the content. Very informative. I'm not annoyed that you didn't find much Doble related visual content. My guess is Doble hadn't discovered the marketing tool that is the camera.<br>He may have been a thermal dynamics genius but he was no business genius obviously.
