![]() | Hi everyone. I am the current owner of a classic 1976 BMW and I love it dearly. I found a very old shipping label stuck to the bottom of its radio, and after doing a little sleuthing, I discovered that very likely the original owner is a Mr. J. S. Owen, and he lived/lives most recently in Boca Raton (I live in Virginia). I have his full name, but for privacy I'll refrain from posting it publicly. I think he is in his 90s by now, if he's still alive. I was able to find some phone numbers for him, they are active but no one picked up when I tried to call them. Which is understandable, given how many scammers try to prey on older people these days. I am a serious car nut, and I would really love to connect with Mr. Owen and tell him that I have his car from many years ago. It might mean a lot to him to know that the car is still out there, in good shape and in good hands. I avoid Facebook because it zucks, and I know posting to a local group there could be a logical route to take. But that's absolutely the last resort for me. Again, I don't know if he's alive, or in good health, given his age. But I would very much like to make one more attempt to reach him. If anyone here can help me with this I would be eternally grateful. [link] [comments] |
