Tempino

Some good Monday morning reading,
     Oldsmobile did build one 1967 truck (El Camino style).  It was a 
one off production car that was specifically built for Evel Knievel. 
     The story goes...about a decade ago I was at work consuling a 
cashier who had recently lost her husband I told her to let me know if 
there was anything I could do for her.  Her only reply was helping 
clean out the garage..parts, cars, tools.
     I walked into the garage immediately noticed a roundy round truck 
in mid complete status, a 55 T-bird and a really strange looking 
Oldsmobile....Yep an El Camino looking Olds.
     I was perplexed..I looked at every nook and crany on the car and 
thought...damn..this is a good conversion.  Can't even see where 
things were pieced together.  Upon looking through it I found Receipts 
from Evel, Pics and other items...hmm  What had I uncovered I 
wondered.  I gave a call to GM and they gave me the rundown that the 
car was a one off that was produced for Evel to parade around with his 
bike in the back.  He also towed a small red/white/blue trailer with 
it.  Eventually I contacted Evel's agent.  The agent took down some 
info and said he would call back.  He called back and said Evel was 
interested in talking about the car and gave me his number.  Evel 
seemed to be more than a slightly cranky old man..he confirmed the 
story that others had told me.  Old's built it for him.  He said he 
sold the car years before and expected that it was in a junkyard by 
now.  Once he was told the car was still solid and un-molested..well 
since he changed the interior to fuzzy
 70's motiff.  He was interested in getting the car back.  Best part 
is he expected to get the car back for free.  The widow said a big 
Heck no...She kept the car for several more years and then sold it.
     The most disappointing part is that I do not have any of the 
pictures...And that is just stupid on my part.         
     She recently contacted me to fire up the T-bird again...Maybe I 
will find out where oldsmobile is at.
And that's the rest of the story....
