After dying unexpectedly decades ago, one man was dedicated to hunting his mom’s Cutlass Supreme down to buy it back.
John Berry fondly recalls riding around in his mom’s big beautiful green 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. She would dawn a set of oversized aviator sunglasses and scarf, the quintessential uniform of lovely women driving around classic convertibles, and John would admire the ride from the backseat. Janis Berry died suddenly at 43 when John was 15 in 1975, and years after it was sold, John was dedicated to get it back.
An elderly man was recently reunited with his beloved motorcycle, see it here.
“She would make it an event to go to the supermarket,” John Berry, 61, shared. “My mom really loved that car.”
The 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme was a gift to Janis by John’s dad in the fall of 1971, and they would be divorced at the time of John’s mother’s death. His dad kept the car around for a few years until he sold it in 1980 to a car collector, which wasn’t bothersome to John at the time, but would start to irk at him in later years.
