I always read about people referring to Nate's '67 Fairlane, but it looks as though he had more than one. A Sedan and a Hardtop. If someone could fill in the blanks and give a chronological order of his cars, that would be great. Also, any stories that go with a certain car. Is the Hardtop the car he hit the deer with?

I have heard that the Sedan stills exists somewhere in New Jersey and is maybe painted black and hidden away somewhere. How did Nate Cohen come to pass? Not sure I ever figured that out. No disrespect, just curious.

My dad told me the other day he heard that the fairlane was bought by a police officer and was put back on the street.
