Default 'Survivor' Term Comes Under Fire

Did anyone read the editorial in the newest issue of “Hemmings Muscle Machines” magazine? It seems the ‘Bloomington Gold’ Corvette folks (aka Mecum Auctions) are whining about other peoples use of the term ‘Survivor’ as it applies to collector automobiles. In short, Hemmings received a threatening letter from Mecum’s law firm and was forced to go thru all their sale ads post haste and exclude the word ‘Survivor’ from any of them. While I agree that ‘Survivor’ is a much abused and overused term, Mecum is taking it too far the other way. I suppose collector car websites such as this one can be expecting notification in the near future
