A Vietnam Veteran is doing everything to find his stolen car—a rare, 1930 Model A Ford Huckster. He’s so serious he even contemplated offering up his Purple Heart in hopes of it being returned.A Vietnam veteran is doing everything to find his stolen car—a rare, 1930 Model A Ford Huckster. He’s so serious he even contemplated offering up his Purple Heart in hopes of it being returned.
Gary McIntosh, 73, says someone broke into his garage between 10 p.m. Saturday and early morning Sunday, Jan. 15, and loaded up his rare car before getting away. He says clamps prevented them from breaking in, but they allegedly wrapped around the corner, bashing in the window making off with his prized possession.
"[It] sure looked nice speeding down the road on a sunny day," McIntosh laughed, remembering the good times. McIntosh says "Louie the Lug", named after his wife’s father, is a total head turner. The car was stolen a long with a boat and a motor. Holding back his emotions, the veteran says this is a tough loss.
"I sifted through, and I looked for any kind of receipts that might lead to a store or town, but I didn’t find anything," McIntosh said. "I had surgery yesterday," McIntosh said. "I came down with congestive heart failure 15 years ago, and I had a heart attack, a lot of stents." Coping with the pain—physically and emotionally—the Veteran contemplated offering up his Purple Heart a reward to help track down his car. So serious, he's posted about it on several social media groups, getting thousands of folks to help track "Louie" down, hopeful for it to return home.
