Local General Mills plant is suspected as a source, though company officials dispute it.

Ol Red Car Defies Death Finishes West Coast Fundraiser
Ol Red, a 1974 Oldsmobile 98 owned by Jack Ferring, completed an eight day round trip from Cedar Rapids to the West Coast raising about 3000 for the American Cancer Society.
