    I think he's asking about something different, according to that wiki article there were no cars delivered in that scam.

    I think it might be a joke sign, made up after the scandal.

    "If it's a good car it's a Miracle" got to be a gag. Think about it. I heard this as a joke probably 30 years ago, even used it myself. Surprised to hear there actually was a Miracle Motors. Unless the sticker was someone's idea of a joke. Be funny if there actually was a Miracle Motors at one time.

    Back in the fifties every city had a Miracle Mile.

    Yes I remember it being there. If it ran it was a miracle. I never stopped in there, but I always wondered if one of the sales guys was wearing the proverbial checkered sport coat, and the short brimmed straw hat. With the silver shaded sun glasses no doubt.

    They were there for years. When did they close down? After their pocketful of miracles got a hole in it?????

    Back when...those were some of the good used car commercials of Phoenix. Tex Ernhart..."And this ain't no Bull" Cal Worthington and "Spot" before he moved to Calif. This joint Miracle Motors. When cruzing Central was the place to be seen.

    Was talking to a friend of mine at a cruse in last night, he actually bought a car from them. They moved down to about 25th Ave. & Van Buren later on across from Bill's Radiator.
    Jeepman: you know the guy I was talking to. Scotty that drives the faded blue Corvair. Next time you see him ask him about Miracle motors.

    When I was in high school I worked at Miracle Cars with the owners son Noel . We we’re doing the whole school credit for working thing until the Counselor found out that we had no adult supervision and the soda machine was full of Coors and not Coke and Pepsi good times at the corner of 33rd and Indian School rd
