Just sharing a great story from another forum I visit

Sign in to disble this ad
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.

Single post summary with all pics: Bodybuilding.com Forums - View Single Post - Found owner of my car 46yrs later (srs thrad)
and the entire thread (nothing interesting, really): Found owner of my car 46yrs later (srs thrad) - Bodybuilding.com Forums


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.

Cool story bro.



But really, its a great story. I only read the summarised version, but its really cool. I love those last couple of pictures, 46 years apart. Good on the guy for tracking down the original owner and going out of his way to do something special for him.
