I Have Never Seen The Like

Okay, I was AROUND when this all jumped off, but I have absolutely NO memory of any of it.  Does anyone ELSE out there remember the Dale automobile from the Twentieth Century Motor Car Company?  I admit, I am perplexed beyond words.  How could I have missed this??  This link is a 10-minute videoclip from Unsolved Mysteries, but really, the story has to be seen to be believed.

Thanks to Paleo-Future for the link.
