@Michael Barera: Good article. I just have to ask, what makes the Wisconsin Society of Automotive Historians a reliable source? Onegreatjoke (talk) 22:16, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
- They are an affiliate of both the Society of Automotive Historians and the Wisconsin Historical Society. Michael Barera (talk) 17:14, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
If we're using that as justification then we could consider this reliable. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:37, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
