What was funny about the meeting of the two characters was that Dortmunder and his gang were a lot more understanding of the repossession than the repo man is used to. It freaks him out.
ReplyDelete32 Cadillacs was based on a real incident where a group of Romany stole around 32 Cadillacs. Joe Gores was part of the repo/private investigation company that was called in. When he mention he was working on a novel about this to Westlake, Westlake was so amused that he came up with the crossover idea.
