My Father-in-law bought one of those late 1970's Olds 98 Diesel, I
forget the exact year of the thing. That car spent a lot of time on
the end of a tow truck headed for the dealer.

The detroit diesels were (in)famous for being bait (swinging from the hook).
Remember the Caddie V8-6-4? There was another winner.
