Bargain Cadillac Turns Up A Real Lemon
In St Louis, Charles Derrick bought a 1965 Cadillac Fleetwood for 476 dollars at a GSA auction. He spent 1100 dollars on repairs before police revealed the car was stolen in 1970 and later recovered, with the title not matching the motor number. The car, seized from a narcotics violator, had been repurchased by Allstate after insurance reimbursement. The incident prompts a government investigation into the sale.
