There isn’t much doubt about which $100 bill was the best one Wilson Shearer ever spent.Back in 1971, the now-retired minister from Hagerstown, Md., had been visiting an elderly parishioner when opportunity knocked unexpectedly. Actually, it knocked several times.“I had been visiting him at home, and he kept saying, ‘I’ve gotta have a home for my old car.’ Well, I didn’t think much about it, but finally, after about the sixth time, I said, ‘George, what kind of car do you have?’ So, we went out and looked at it, and there was this Chrysler [a 1950 New Yorker sedan] all covered with dust. The tires were flat and everything. I said, ‘Does it run?’ He said, ‘It did six years ago when I parked it.’
