I think it was the other way around (he worked at Royal but was an Oldsmobile enthusiast at heart).
In either case his son Frank Jr. picked up his love for Oldsmobile as well. Frank Jr. is still living and works for GM Powertrain in Pontiac Michigan.
I can't speak for Rediker but these deals tend to sour after a while. Mr Wangers was not the easiest guy to work for back in the day.
