During the 1973 oil crisis, drivers all over the U.S. waited in line for hours just to fill their gas tanks. America was in dire need for more fuel efficient vehicles to ease the pressure of the crisis. Enter Liz Carmichael, a consummate businesswoman and innovator who fashioned herself after Henry Ford. She claimed to have the solution to the crisis – The Dale – a 3-wheeled car that got 60 miles to the gallon, and very affordable – only $1995. Fraud investigators, however, would encounter many red flags with her business practices. During a search of the production factory, investigators would make an unimaginable find. Was Liz really who she claimed to be? Would the Dale really come to fruition?

Join Mark and Amy as we dissect the life and business practices of the infamous Liz Carmichael.
