looks like people have been misspelling Comanche since the beginning...

Oh lord. I never understood why it was so hard to just have the one M in Comanche. 

[Pete M]

that's not the only mistake

that's so stupid. seems to me like a semi typo putting an m instead of an n one character early

 

for fun I threw 8,595 in a inflation calculate and got 20,200$ that's so affordable for such a great truck. affordable non luxury trucks should come back!

the MJ would never pass modern safety protocols.  so add in another 10 grand for that.  

[Jesse J]

that's a good point pete

That was back in the day before spelling checkers.  And people were lazy.

 

These days we have spelling checkers but lazy people still mix up homonyms (there/their/they're, your/you're, moot/mute, etc.) so it's not much better.

Lol this is actually pronounced  cah-man-ch the e is silent.  It is however named after the Comanche indians who were native to that area and according to the history books, the guy who founded the town misspelled Comanche when he named it. 

 

My grandparents lived there for many years and just recently moved to Davenport.  My mom and uncles grew up there and I even lived there for a few years before my parents got a house together since they were still in highschool.  Nice little town.
