We convinced them we were French[edit]

@Qwirkle: Google is your friend so you don't have to keep making a fool of yourself. "The first car I built in America was a two-seater sport body on a Ford chassis for Percy Morgan, then a Packard 120 two-passenger convertible with cutaway doors and a long, long hood for Dick Powell. But he sold it after a few months because he said that people were yoohooing at him and he was embarrassed. Next was a Rolls-Royce for Countess Dorothy di Frasso. She specified only that it had to outshine the Rolls of Constance Bennett, her great social rival. The general contention is that it did. Then with Rudolf Stoessel and Paul Erdos, I opened a shop on the Sunset Strip, from whence to outfit any other celebrities who asked. We did very well. Our logo "Darrin of Paris" convinced more than a few that I was French, and in Hollywood that was better than all the work I had ever done. The Darrin four-passenger Packards came next—and then the war, during which we operated a flight training school in Nevada." In a better reference heats he pretended to be unable to understand English. Eddaido (talk) 12:21, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, Google is not everyone’s friend. It allows...nay, encourages, misperceptions from tendentious searches, and pretty soon people can wind up believing nonsense because others do.

To get to particulars, this source might justify “Darren’s sense of humor led him to play up to some ignorant customer’s belief that he was a native Frenchman” or suchlike in a far, far longer article. It would still not justify the line you put, which is, of course, completely unsupported by the cite you gave it, and undue to boot in such a stublike piece.
