On August 8th 1974, President Richard Nixon announced he would resign following damaging revelations in the Watergate scandal.

On August 8th 1975 my brother and I, having saved the local newspaper from the event, replaced our dad's paper in the box. When he came home from work he stop at the end of the driveway, as usual, and picked up the paper. He came in the house sat down and began reading. My brother and I watched and watched... no reaction. ??? Finally when he got to the car ads he said "what the hecks going on here? This is last years paper!" Apparently he thought the front page thing was a one year review type article, but he was and avid car man and when he saw the car prices he knew something was up.
