  There are several threads on here about Rutherford and his Cadillacs. I just searched for "Cadillac" and several came up. Lots of good information.

  I hope someone eventually finds records with the Cadillacs' serial numbers, order information, etc. I've been told cars weren't issued VIN numbers until the 50s, but I would think the bodies and engines had serial numbers. Maybe some insider could check the historical files hidden away at Warwick or wherever. I seriously doubt the Borg would have destroyed those records.

  I made a public comment about its possible provenance on the video and sent a similar email to the car museum itself. I'll let y'all know if I hear anything back.

  Can we please keep this about the car(s) and not about Rutherford? I'm interested to see if it had indeed once belonged to him only from an automotive and historical standpoint. Yes, he had many, many faults, but this post isn't about that.

  Thanks, HappyDad! My ignorance is exposed! I thought cars and trucks had had VIN numbers from the very beginning. Did they have any other kind of identifying numbers that could be used to research historical ownership and/or manufacturers' records?

  If any of you WT history buffs happen to know the VIN number of Rutherford's Cadillac(s), please share it. I understand he had two. VIN numbers would make it a lot easier to track them down, or at least it would give a researcher a shot at it.

Watch the episode and let us know what you think. Either way, it's a very cool car. I'd love to see it in person one day. Oh well, maybe the next time I'm in California.

  So sorry you had to go through all that, especially alone. But I'm very glad the outcome was so good. Despite it all, you were fortunate they caught things when they did. Here's hoping you don't have to go through anything like that again. We're all pulling for you.

  Sunday January 15 is my 76th birthday. I answer some of your questions.

  happy birthday 2 me!!.

  sunday is my 76th birthday and i know that you want to know how it "feels" to have outlived my usefulness, to have lost my natural beauty (being reduced to wrinkles and flab), and constantly walking into a room not knowing why i'm there.

  you also are curious as to how i can continue to find a reason to live since none of my kids think my opinions have any possible value, most of my facebooks friends i wouldn't recognize if i tripped over them on my way into starbucks, and my monthly expenditure on bird treats exceeds u.s. spending on the military.

  Happy Birthday, Terry! So glad to hear from you and get to listen to some of your musical efforts.

  Just wondering, do you still visit the coffee shop and debate with that infernal bird? Still ride your bike there?

  As usual, there is a lot more to the story than just what is reported on the news. It would be interesting to know if that restraining order sought by the union was ever granted. Also, does anyone know why the couple was no longer welcome at the Kingdom Hall? Were they just weirdos, or were one or both of them disfellowshipped?

  JW theology does seem to attract more than its fair share of fringe nuts. Some seek medical help, but I suspect most don't. That said, if I had had the lithium concession at a certain congregation I used to go to, I would be a wealthy man. Just sayin'...
