The Prince/Maurader Connection

[mrogerc]

Was looking at Jalopnik this morning, and saw that the real inspiration for "Little Red Corvette" was a Marauder.

A quick quote:

"So, let’s just make this abundantly clear:

The car that inspired Prince to write ‘Little Red Corvette’ was a 1964 Mercury Montclair Marauder. Not an Edsel, not an actual Corvette, but a bad-ass Mercury Marauder."

Except for the size, color, and make .... This seems to make sense in a twisted, creative sort of way.

I did not know that. Never even herd of the Edsel misquote

Marauder died first. Where is the internet gasp of sadness?

Little DTR baby you much too slow

That's pretty cool that the car is still around.
