Queen City Cincinnati OH dealer invoices
Hi Warren,
Very interesting thread here. I used to talk to Ralph Gabbard on the telephone in the early 1990's when I was researching my '66 Corvette sold new from Queen City. Ralph gave me a couple of ideas and leads to follow up on. Very enjoyable conversations with him so long ago. Ralph Gabbard passed away in 2007.
Ralph sent me a single black and white copy of a Queen City Chevrolet sales invoice dated February 1966. A car that he had sold new. Very similar model Corvette as mine. But as you said, "close but no cigar". Sadly, not my car. I printed it out on faux aged paper to make it look proper to have it framed and matted. It hangs on my shop wall.
I'm attaching a December 1965 Queen City Ad and a closeup of the salesmen working at the dealership back then. For some reason Ralph Gabbard isn't listed. I know he was working there then.
Mike
