Lincoln, Nebraska used car dealer Wally "Weird Wally" Smith died Monday morning.
He dealt in "low priced" used cars, and was the first to denigrate his inventory. He once advertised some old Dodge saying, "This car is such a dog my wife's poodle took a liking to it. Anyway, this car is fully equipped, which is more than you can say for the poodle".
He once took a 4x8 sheet of plywood, painted it into a certificate good for one free used car, and put it on sign posts on the Interstate. A couple of college kids went out, took it down, and brought it to his lot. He gave them an old car of some sort.
And so it went. His antics generated priceless free advertising.
But-when the local Meals on Wheels had the misfortune of having the engine blow on one of their vans, he was right on the spot to donate a station wagon he had on his lot.
I don't think the used car business in Lincoln will be the same. We'll miss him.
