A Classic-Car Buff's Nightmare...

A good plan on theory but was doomed to failure, especially since the car thieves left too many clues in close proximity to their farm.. but they did manage to hijack an auto transport truck carrying a 3 brand new Mopars; a 1957 Desoto Fireflite 4-door, a 1957 Dodge complete with Lancer 4-bar wheel covers, and a 1957 Imperial. From there they attempted to disguise the cars for a quick sale by adding dings and dents with a hammer, dirtying them up with grease, and changing out the brand new white walls for old tires. Painful to hear (thankfully not shown) the banging with a hammer on these beautiful cars, and then later with the HP in pursuit, the criminals tried to slow them down by tossing the brand new white walls at them.. any idea what new white walls sell for today? Nonetheless, a very enjoyable and entertaining episode!

Quotes
[first lines]
Narrator: The Highway Patrol's responsibility as a law enforcement agency extends to all vehicles on the state roads, even the cars that travel without touching the ground. These are the new cars, fresh from the factory, transported by carriers to specific distribution points. The drivers depend on the Highway Patrol to forewarn them of all danger elements along the truck routes. But unfortunately, the most dangerous element of all, the human one, is the most unpredictable.
