Mitt Romney recalled childhood memories of a landmark moment in Detroit history, noting he was “probably 4 or something like that” the day of the Golden Jubilee, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the American automobile, the Toronto Star reports.
Said Romney: “My dad had a job being the grandmaster. They painted Woodward Ave. with gold paint.”
Unfortunately, the event took place June 1, 1946 — fully nine months before Romney was born.
