PELKEY V. NORTON
99 A.2d 918 (1953)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over a car trade in for fraud.
FACTS: D purchased a new car from P and purposely misrepresented the age of his trade in
as that of a 1949 truck when in fact it was a 1947 model. The dealer made a mistake when
reading the serial number and the key letter Q as an O. The difference in the trade in price
of a 1949 and 1947 truck was $700. P asked for the original bill of sale but D informed P
that the bill was at his son's house. P allowed the trade in of the car as a 1949 model but
eventually discovered that he had been defrauded. P sued D. D moved for a directed verdict
and it was granted. P appealed.
