The new owners showed up at the local cruise night last night. I gave them the latest shipment of parts we found up at the in-law's house: a set of Oldsmobile bolt-on rally wheel center caps still in the boxes, some AC/Delco oil filters and a full set of floor mats. They are really enjoying the car. I told them my brother-in-law found more parts and we'll get them in a month or so. (no air cleaner lid yet)

I think it is so cool how you have handled this ownership transfer pre and post . I wish more people were as transparent as you!
Well done

Just an update, my father-in-law passed away on 9/3/25 at the hospital. Waiting on details but the service will be in November and hopefully he will be laid to rest at the local military cemetery near Rochester. Thank you to everyone who lent a hand in helping me get the car to its next family of caretakers.

Oh, and my brother in law found even more Olds parts last week while he was at the house. :-)

My wife just got back from the In-Laws house. Lots of paperwork found. Has the original dealership owner's manual glove box folder with the original Window Sticker in it. Sold new at Tunmore Olds in Buffalo New York by salesman Dick Hudson. The folder has the original owner's name on it: Frank J. Gugliuzza. Found the second owner's NY inspection receipt from 1985 at 39,601 miles. Third owner NY inspection receipt with 57,000 miles from 1995. Third owner's Bill of sale to my Father in law's brother in 2000 (Fourth owner) and then my Father in law (5th owner) getting it in September of 2002 with 59,000 miles. So my Father In-Law put 40,000 miles on it in 23 years.

LOL. I tried googling the possible original owner's name "Frank J Gugliuzza." OMG there are dozens of them...and they all lived in upstate NY near Buffalo! It reminded me of the crazy 1984 movie Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension, where all the aliens have the same first name.
