Carmichael's height and weight

edit

what does this have to do with the article? We don't say in Microsoft that Bill Gates is 5'4" and 110lb (He probably isn't but just an example). So I've removed this. Also what does her being a transsexual person have to do with anything. WP:BLP anyone? (yeah she has died but in 2004 making her recently died.) —Alison (Crazytales) (talk) 19:23, 16 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Because she used her changed identity to keep on scamming people and not being recognized? --93.221.208.131 (talk) 22:21, 12 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Title of article

edit

Per WP:COMMONNAME this article should really be under the title "Dale (automobile)" rather than "Twentieth Century Motor Car Corporation". The Dale automobile is far better known than the shell corporation behind it. Marshall Stax (talk) 22:55, 18 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

"Clifft"

edit

Is the designer of the Dale really named Dale Clifft, with two Fs? There are numerous redlinks both in this article and Geraldine Elizabeth Carmichael, but Dale Clift with one F is a redirect to this article. Which is correct? --C o r t e x 💬talk 23:11, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Cortex128, I found four patents for a Dale L. Clifft with two effs and none for a Dale Clift with one eff. The four seem to be the same Dale Clifft that created the Dale 3-wheeled automobile.

This article is an interview of someone that claimed to be a close personal friend of Dale. He used Clifft. That interview includes enopugh detail about Dale Clifft to track him down in ancestry.com. Dale Leon Clifft was born 9 Sep 1932 in Harper, Oklahoma and died 3 Nov 1981 in Sylmar, Los Angeles, California. ancestry.com had a link to findagrave.com as one of the sources about Dale Clifft.
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/55514193/cli#source has a picture of his gravestone which uses Clifft and a bio that mentions his role in the 3-wheeled car. --Marc Kupper|talk 06:06, 2 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
