Joe Oldham R.I.P. 30.10.2017 UPDATE

[1972coronet]

I wish that I could find an accompanying article for this sad bit of news , but I have only got first-hand news from Martyn L. Schorr :

Joe Oldham passed away late last week .

Many of you may recognise Oldham from his (in)famous road tests and articles about Muscle Cars back in the 60's and 70's , in addition to Oldham's ties with Baldwin Motion ; he worked for the aforementioned Schorr at High Performance CARS magazine .

As new info comes in , I will update this post .

R.I.P. , Joe .

Very sad news. He was a hero of mine for a while growing up. Loved his attitude and writing style. He'll be fondly remembered.
