Has anyone tried to find and purchase an Olds they owned years ago? My father gave me a 1972 Supreme when I was 16. I drove it through high school and he sold it when I left for college. I would love to find it and restore it for him. The trouble is, he has no info (vin, plate late numbers,etc.) Has anyone searched for a specific car starting out with no information?

Back in the 80's i searched for the original owner of my 69, all I had was hus name on the dash plaque no computers then. I spent 2 days at the library looking thru every phone book for his name I did have some success...I Guess my point is you really need a name for starters. If you had the vin I doubt mvd would be able to help the confidentiality laws today

I called around a few places today to try to get a lead. I called the insurance company that insured the car when we owned it. I tried the DMV. I even called the police department to see if they had info from a few speeding tickets I got in it. Every place did not keep records back that far (circa 1993). I want to find the car without letting my father in on it becuse if I can find the car it would be a nice surprise for him.
Back to the drawing board. I think the next step is to try to snoop through some of Dad's records to see if I can get any info.
