The innocent purchaser who paid for the car with good consideration is entitled to keep the car. Since the contract between Gomer and the original seller is voidable, it means that the original seller has the option to rescind the contract and return the consideration paid by Gomer. Therefore, the original seller does not have a legal claim to the car. However, the original seller may be able to take legal action against Gomer for fraud or deceit in the form of a civil suit or criminal charges. The innocent purchaser would not be liable for damages or compensation as he acted in good faith and without knowledge of Gomer's fraudulent actions.
