ANDERSON -- When Tony Edmonds of Anderson bought his 1960 Plymouth Fury, he knew he would keep it forever.
'This is my baby. I just love the attention it gets from people when they see it. People come up to me and tell me my grandfather had a car like this, or my father had a car like this,' he said.
Edmonds bought the car in 1974, and the first thing he did was buy a Kmart battery with a lifetime warranty"
"But on July 17, 2004, Edmonds tried to get a new battery at the Kmart on Clemson Boulevard in Anderson. Edmonds claims he was told by store manager Brian Fischer that because Kmart filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy a few years ago, they no longer had to honor the lifetime warranty.
"And I said, 'Is that right?' He said, 'Yes, you know we went through bankruptcy court, and I guess it's more a legal matter. We owe creditors millions of dollars that we'll never have to pay back'," Edmonds said."
Well stated Mr Edmonds.
"Edmonds did receive a battery that day at no charge, but he says they wouldn't give him a receipt that contains the words 'lifetime warranty.'"
