    If he doesn't, he might have a second vehicle which is similar for sale. I do that sometimes myself

    Well, apparently the ebay purchase was not successful because he was actually the second in line bidder.

    What does everyone think at $7K?

    Ah, Hanswurst? What's that "Watch Signs" GIF in your Signature (As of December 30 2014) from? I recognize the other two GIFs.

    That's a possible reasonable value, given the high option list.

    You're doing better than I, since I don't recognize any one of them :cry:

    OK. The one with the devil and Santa is actually a movie that MST3k (mystery Science Theater 3000) riffed, and I think it's just called "Santa Clause". The second one... Well, I rather half-truthed that one. I know it's a Frankenstein type thing and I think it's Herman Munster out of The Munsters, but I'm not sure.

    And the last one? I don't know yet. I just see it appears to be from the 1950s or 1960s.

    That Frankenstein is the original filmed early in the 20th century. Probably, Boris Karloff. That last one might have been a public service message to warn kids about the dangers of traffic.
    I always wondered why I never got X-Mas preents. My parents always told me it was because we didn't have a chimney. Thanks to that animated gif, I discovered my parents were lyers

    The dealer that bought it told me that if it didn't sell before, he was going to send it up for this auction. Noticed it wasn't on the lot on Thursday, thought it sold. Maybe not.

    The emblem on the skirt looks terrible.

    Yeah, I really value originality. Too bad as this is a very high option Olds.

    It has only the base A/C, not the Comfortron. Oh well! :)

    Interesting that it has the "Nite Watch." My guess is that that was something ordered most often on 98s, not 88s or Custom Cruisers.
