As an FYI, I will be at Fall Hershey Wednesday through Friday at the swap meet, Saturday on the show field (with my white '62 Olds Dynamic 88 Fiesta station wagon). I will have flyers for this car should anyone need to pick one up; my cell phone is 330/388-0192. Thanks, and hoping that everyone has a safe trip to and from this year's Fall Meet.

The engine block is apparently cracked; the air condition likely just needs a re-charging. I would contact Dave as recommended for further details.

Update on this vehicle; the current owner has located an Oldsmobile 394 V-8 engine, and plans to have the vehicle available for sale once the engine work has been completed, likely not until at least Spring of 2014. I will update accordingly...
