Olds of Oldsmobile came from Michigan to visit the makers' (ref.1) 32 would have been built. According to Glenn Baechler, the car was orignially purchased by a Preston Ontario man who lived about 300 Chopin street in Preston. Early reports from the 1950's indicated he had bought components from the Good Brothers and assembled this car. Mr Baechler saw this car in pieces,in a barn behind the house in 1953.
