Chris, we did get the whole tale. It's in Digest #5697. Did you miss
a digest? I know I've had several in the last few weeks evaporate. I
know this because I keep all of them, so the gaps in digest numbers
are obvious.

Dan,
I'm going to assume this is legit and not an April Fool's story...

====================================
with the following quoted snippet that is dated 01APR, and just
REEKS of
01APR Story:

I just got back from my friend Vince Vaughan's place. You guys have
probably
seen some of his movies. Vince is into cars but not Oldsmobile's.
Turns out
Vince's uncle was into Oldsmobile's in the 60's and could afford it.
Vince's
uncle also was an actor. Perhaps some of the older guys will remember
Robert
Vaughan who had a hit series called "The Man from U.N.C.L.E".
Vince took me
over to show me his uncle's car collection and in among the Rolls
Royce and
Lincoln convertible sits a 69 Hurst Olds convertible. I got to
open the
hood
to look at the perfectly detailed engine compartment. The inside
of the car
looked like new with only 27,000 miles on it. The bill of sale was
in the
glove box with all the other paper work. This car is the real
thing! The
first question I had for Vince is, was the car for sale. Not at
this time.
Looks like I need to get to know his uncle a little better!
==================================
Great, so now, I will never see the whole correct Dan Roethel
Story :-(
From what I see here, 'twas a classic.
