In early 1961, Uncle Frank, always looking for the nicest, newest ride to offer his customers, managed to find a spot in the NASA astronaut program to see what all this space fuss was about. Few historians know that Uncle Frank was actually the first man in orbit, beating the Russians by a few weeks – after he climbed into the space capsule and “accidentally” hit the launch sequence.

The U.S. government hushed the whole thing up and Uncle Frank went back to his dealership. He knew he wouldn’t be selling any spacecraft in his lifetime because (a) used rockets weren’t very reliable and (b) the sticker price was, shall we say, astronomical.

Uncle Frank – The Football Star

The year: 1922. The score: 13-13, with only fifteen seconds to go in the fourth quarter of the NFL’s first championship game, between the Chicago Bears and the Canton Bulldogs. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, Uncle Frank streaked across the field like a souped-up Model T, carrying the ball 52 yards across the goal line and scoring the game-winning touchdown for Canton in an unforgettable scoring “drive.”

During the post-game celebration after the game, Uncle Frank declared that all of his teammates were responsible for the win – and gifted them all with mint condition 1925 Buick touring cars. Uncle Frank went on to become NFL commissioner and create many innovations in the sport – including the first trade!
