The Region - News from Sept. 24, 1986

While test-driving a $163,000 Rolls-Royce Corniche through the streets of Pasadena, an attractive, elegantly dressed woman confessed to the salesman that she was nervous behind the wheel and asked him to drive. When the salesman left the car to come around to the driver’s side, the woman drove off, police said. A man had earlier called Rusnak Rolls-Royce at 297 W. Colorado Blvd. saying that his chauffeur would come in to test-drive the car. The woman, described as 5-feet-7, about 110 pounds and between the ages of 45 and 50, confidently strode into the dealership. She identified herself as the chauffeur and left with the salesman for the test drive.
