This guy on another forum I frequent happened to buy a ragged 1965 Oldsmobile Jetstar 88, and in the glove box found the owner's manual with the original owner's name on it. For curiosity's sake he tracked him down and met up for a 46 year old reunion. There's a lot of neat pic and warm story to be had.

I'm not a motorhead or a car buff by any measure but this story just had me giddy throughout the entire development, and wanted to share it with as many people as I could.
