Default What a Good Find!!!

I was pulling the center console apart to replace the blower motor switch in my early 85 today and came across a neat owners card that was wedged between the top of the center console and the dash. I have the original window sticker, owner's manual, warranty book, dealer add on sheet, EPA sheet, and PCA stickers. This led me to believe the car was once well cared for. I always wondered who bought the car new and what they looked like, what they did etc. I found this card and looked up the original owner's name only to find that he had passed on. Seems he was a doctor and a respected member of his community. I have never seen anything like this and its going straight into the owner's booklet in the house where it belongs.



Here is the link to what I found on the original owner:

That's the way I look at it. At one time my car was well cared for and appreciated. When I got it,the car was in serious need of attention. Now its actually a decent car. To me, finding things like this is like putting a large piece of the puzzle of the car's life together.
