If the car went missing in 1937, how and when did this guy who reported it stolen, get legal possession of it?
1937? I guess you didn’t read the story.
“green and black 1932 Hudson Essex Terraplane was being housed in a trailer in an industrial complex in Orange when it was stolen Friday.”
Earhart went missing in 1937. She had a husband and other heirs. They sold the car at some point and eventually the current owner bought it. The car was stolen last week.
I know. I also assumed the car disappeared 80 years ago. It would have made a great story if it turned up after eight decades. As it is, the story is a "nothingburger".
