Luckily for Hall, Coleman missed the antics. The kid and the cop are buddies, but Mike is also an auto thief who was sentenced to an indeterminate period of probation last year after he and a friend hot-wired an Olds Cutlass and led police on a mile-long chase. For 10 months Mike rode long hours in the cruiser with Coleman as part of an experiment to reform young delinquents. The theory behind the program is that cops can be strong role models for the youths, who get to view crime from the victims' perspective, a shock that courts...
First stop is Granger Oldsmobile in Countryside, where Drew bought his Olds 98. "That one there!" Heather cries right away, pointing to a photo of a cherry-red Cutlass Supreme convertible. Salesman Dan Leversen cautions her, "That's the hardest car to get ahold of." He has no red Cutlass convertibles, but "we have a white one coming in." Julie's eyes widen in alarm as Leversen reveals the $24,232 sticker price. "I doubt Dad would spend $24,000," Julie says...

A white Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera joins the line, along with a brand-new Massey- Ferguson harvesting combine. Iranian soldiers drive up the road, throwing bread to the Kurds and starting a frantic scramble that sends more than one person rolling down a steep embankment. When the crowd parts, old men patiently pick the crumbs out of rocks and mud, their only margin of survival. Whenever the refugees discover a reporter in their midst, they crowd around...
...waning days of the 1980s, ads for the Oldsmobile Cutlass touted the car's luxury features and driving pleasure. Today the pitch is much different. An Olds ad urges car buyers to "put your money in a safe place. No matter what the economic forecast, there is one investment you can always feel comfortable with." The mood of the U.S. has changed, and so has advertising. The country is fighting a war abroad and battling a recession at home, and commercial messages are adapting their tone to fit a back-to-basics attitude that is abroad in the land...
