Washington purchased an automobile from Courtesy Motor Sales, a Ford automobile dealer. After the car was delivered, she discovered that the car she thought was new was in fact used and that the odometer had been turned back to conceal the mileage. Washington sued Courtesy and named Ford Motor Company in the suit on the grounds that Courtesy was acting as an agent for the manufacturer.

Will Washington succeed in her suit against Ford Motor? [ Washington v. Courtesy Motor Sales, Inc., 199 N.E.2d 263 (Illinois).]
