Do you have a Centurion bicycle from the early 1970's?  Sales
literature?  A picture ad from Bicycling magazine from that time?
A receipt for purchase of such a bike, showing its serial number?

I have a 1973 Centurion Super Lemans bicycle with a defective frame.
Centurion refuses to honor their lifetime warranty on the frame,
claiming that my bike is not a Centurion!  They claim they never
sold a bike with lugs like mine, and that the serial number is too
short to be valid (it is a letter followed by 3 digits).  The shop
where I bought the bike has long since gone out of business.

Anything you can do to help me substantiate my claim would be
greatly appreciated.  I hate being called a liar, and I hate being
cheated.
