  • Jack & Lynne Heacock's 1957 Oldsmobile
    www.sandiegoregion.aaca.com Jack & Lynne Heacock’s 1957 Oldsmobile ‘98 Holiday Coupe March, 2021 Volume 59 Issue 3 Tale of an Oldsmobile by Jack Heacock Jack presented more of this story and more photos on our February Zoom Meeting. In order for the rest of the region to hear this “tale” this version is presented here. While perusing Craigs List early last year (2020), I came across a listing of an original unrestored 1957 Oldsmobile in a 47-year hibernation in the family’s garage in Billings, Montana. To say the least, I was intrigued. I found the owner (living locally in Escondido, CA) to be very pleasant and straightforward in his description. The car had been purchased by his late father as a 1-year-old car that had been traded in by one of the dealership’s salesman. Interestingly, the new owner had traded in his 1953 DeSoto for $695. This owner (whose family I purchased the car from) had maintained excellent records of everything ever done on the car including the original dealer purchase agreement (just under $3,000). In 1973 the car had an engine failure and was parked in the family garage with 66,229 original miles showing (mileage confirmed by aforementioned receipts). The owner is the executor of his parent’s estate and we came to an agreed price and I attempted to secure a transport for delivery of the car from Montana. My attempts were unsuccessful and because there was a short window to get the car from storage, I transported the car myself with help The owner and his son who I from my son in law and grandson.
