Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 is still a hit in 2020. 60 Minutes makes Nielsen’s weekly Top 10 nearly every week and was the #1 weekly television broadcast three times last season.

The broadcast’s segments can be watched at 60Minutes.com and on the CBS All Access app. Its webcast, 60MinutesOvertime.com, offers content originally produced for the web, including behind-the-scenes video about the production of 60 Minutes stories and timely archival segments.
60 Minutes has won every major broadcast award. Its 25 Peabody and 150 Emmy awards are the most won by any single news program. It has also won 20 duPont-Columbia University journalism awards.

Steve Kroft never got the credit he deserved. He, through most of his career at 60 Minutes, took on the scammers and the wealthy investors. Then, someone in the executive offices must have sent him a message to lay off these types of stories. Because toward the end of his time at 60 minutes, we didn't see much of him taking on the big wigs (Wall Street). Sorry to see him go; he'll be greatly missed.

I worked in retail car business in the late 90s and early 2000s. The fraud was off the charts. Repaired wrecks, rolled back high milers, flooded rebuilds and many others. On new car lots lots of times. The used only car lots were flooded with garbage cars. Car fax, kbb, the internet in general educated consumers to a whole new level. Which made the car business some what honest. People these days are all kinds of car educated. Men and women. Take a customer from 2020 and send them back to 1998 and u will see someone laugh all the way in and out the dealerships. Those dirt bags made millions off of uneducated buyers.

I sold an old Honda Accord to a mechanic. The car had been pampered but had some needed high-labor repairs. I received a phone call from a guy the mechanic sold it to asking about the mileage. The mechanic rolled the miles back from 215,000 to 166,000 or so. The eventual buyer was denied registration. I sent him the P&S and I have not heard back (hope he was able to correct the situation). My mistake was that I didn't record the mileage on the title when I sold the car.

@@judiesuh6858 It doesn’t happen on any type of large basis. Is there a person here or there that finds a way to roll back/replace an odometer? Of course. In any business or venture they will always be fraud and dishonest people. However, is it still happening on anything approaching a widespread basis like the era this was filmed? No. The original poster just wanted to say something to sound intelligent and informed. But he’s wrong.

From a court case in 1990: “On November 1, 1990, a gunman fired shots into the Houston car-leasing business of Charles Vance, who had assisted the "60 Minutes" investigation of Whitlow. Larry Scott Bennett, an employee of Whitlow, was arrested and later convicted of retaliation against Vance. Bennett confessed that Whitlow and Travis Barnes, another used-car dealer, had expressed willingness to pay $500 to anybody who would retaliate against Vance.“ It was quite dangerous to do the right thing back in those days.

Annoyingly it's the Carfax that usually reassures people when it seems from having talked to others & the authorities, that it's a totally meaningless piece of paper that's often wrong. Carfax are a total scam... Probably a load of ex used car dealers running it.

Thankfully now & days it’s easy to look up service records on a car & catch on to this type of scam

It's a lot more difficult to do this on modern cars. Forget that the milage is stored in multiple separate controllers, the digital display itself requires a much more difficult process to change.

I remember this episode. I’m wondering, today all Of the odometers are digital. Does this problem still exist?

Those two guys laughing every time the fat guy said something incriminating is the best. They probably couldn't believe their luck.

In 1985 my dad brought a used Pontiac with an electronic odometer and dashboard like in cars made today... just inquiring but were those cars able to be adjusted even back then?? Car lasted another 12 years...

Maybe those Cream puffs were really more reliable than we thought. Since more miles than we thought.

Pre smart phone and camera phone one unless in the mafia or some sort of espionage one would never assume or think about someone filming them being video tapped was so rare you still had some privacy I miss the 90's

Damned impossible know unless you know software. The odometer on my car is digital. And pretty much any vehicle built after 1996 has a little thing called OBD-II.

Any one more interested in gazing at all those clean 80s/90s cars and wish we could go back to that time?

@clintmullins4406 3 жыл бұрын

There are electronic tools that do this. A dealer Down the street does it. A couple of dealers were caught doing it. Just like those thieves that clone your car keys from outside your house and drive off with your f150. It’s super common

Ron Levitt sells cream puffs. If you're from Philly you'll remember that used car lot on the boulevard. I'd love to have some of those cars now, not that they were particularly cream puffs but they were a lot of 60s muscle cars Hemis, 440 six packs, SS 396 and 427 powered stuff, Mercury cyclones, I even saw a Shelby mustang there. Of course then they were just four or five year old used muscle cars. If only I had a time machine.

This kind of activity is a thing of the past. Plus if you rolled the miles back too much, the condition of the vehicle would not even be close to matching.

Given that this was in Houston, I wonder if KTRK's Marvin Zindler ever did a report about this...

That scene where he was turning back the mileage on the Dodge really interested me: I have that same, exact speedometer (removed from a car and the casing) sitting on a shelf in my basement and I STILL don't know how he turned the last wheel on a closed-reel King-Seeley odometer without breaking it! It's easy to turn back if you take the reel out, but to do it while it's still in the car? How did he do that?
