The Twentieth Century Motor Car Corporation was an American automobile company started by Geraldine Elizabeth "Liz" Carmichael, in 1974, incorporated in Nevada.

[5][6] Before meeting Geraldine Elizabeth "Liz" Carmichael, Dale Clifft hand-built a car made of tubing and covered in red metal flake Naugahyde.

Speaking to the Chicago Sun-Times in November 1974, Carmichael said that she "was on the way to taking on General Motors or any other car manufacturer for that matter".

She also claimed that she had millions of dollars in backing "from private parties" and also talked of a 150,000 sq ft (14,000 m2) corporate office in Encino, California.

The prototypes were built in Canoga Park, and an aircraft hangar in Burbank was supposedly leased for the assembly plant, with more than 100 employees claimed to be on the payroll.

Carmichael claimed the Dale was powered by a thoroughly overhauled BMW two-cylinder motorcycle engine, which generated 40 hp (30 kW) and would allow the car to reach 85 mph (137 km/h).

The company had already encountered legal troubles when California's Corporations Department ordered it to stop offering stock for public sale because it had no permit.

The documentary has been described as "... a lot of stories - about fraud, flight, FBI manhunts, transgender politics, selective prosecution, bias in the media, and corruption in the courts.
