They’d strip it so fast,” she said. Very few of the Zimmers are built each year. They are custom made with fiberglass bodies and can have whatever engine the owner chooses when he orders the car. Price average for each car is $63,000 and owners usually wait a year for delivery. Mrs. Maroon said the Zimmer makes driving more fun. It’s not unusual to find people gathered around the car in a parking lot and see motorists taking its picture driving down the highway. “It’s not a car to take grocery shopping, but more for people who have another car,” she said. The Maroons have noticed that the Ewing family on the television program Dallas have used Zim mers several times, but never show the complete car on the screen. Her husband washes the car himself, but has been known to run it through an automatic car wash on visits to their son in Raleigh.
