Jordan’s family friend Lewis Godwin‘s son, Don Godwin, shared a story about how his father had sold a rookie Jordan seven cars at a Wilmington, North Carolina car dealership.
Michael said, ‘I want to buy seven cars. Do you see that big black Mercedes, the four-door? That’s the one for me. I want my mother to have the little Mercedes next to it, and I want my dad to have a Mercedes. I want my grandmother to have a big Pontiac Bonneville, and my brothers and sisters—Firebird Trans Ams, beautiful Pontiacs.’
