That is certainly bizarre. Must be nice to have that kinda money and just let things sit for years.

Hermetically sealed in a mason jar and stored in Funk and Wagners basement. Someone else know who said this?

Back in 2001 I was in Fredericksburg TX and there was an Oldsmobile dealership frozen in time (80’s-90’s). Looked to be on purpose as I believe the dealer moved outside of town. Don’t know if it is still there.

Funk and Wagnalls!

And it was a mayonnaise jar, not a mason jar.

And it was their PORCH, not their basement.

And it was the ENVELOPES that were hermetically sealed, not the jar they were sitting in.


"These envelopes have been hermetically sealed. They've been kept in a mayonnaise jar on Funk & Wagnalls' porch since noon today."


Gotta get your cultural references correct!

I saw an early '80s Buick Riviera in a showroom in Fredericksburg a couple of years ago, I looked again last year and couldn't find it.
Might have been the place B964 saw as well.

Too bad the cars didn't have covers put on to keep the sun off them.
