| 1062. To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re the Oldsmobile. We bought this car about 8 months ago. Could you please tell me whether you still need it and, if so, for what purpose. My only point is that the longer we keep these cars the more they depreciate and the less we obtain for them. I presume you will still want to keep the Packard because of the independent suspension. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
