Tom,
I like the story about the Deuce in the showroom. And your member# is a good one !

I actually came across the Deuce again several years later. I friend of mine was converting his Impala from auto to 4 speed and we went to buy a transmission from an ad in the local paper. You guessed it, we pull up to the house and there is the same Deuce in the driveway (looking bad!), no motor, trans in the trunk. Trans ended up in a '65 Impala. Probably in 1976 or so. Cannot remember where the house was other than Norwalk.

Hi Drew,

Small world. It was dark blue - like dusk blue, maybe fathom blue. The car we bought the trans from was the same one that I saw in the showroom 6-7 years earlier. It had the WR Austin emblem on the back and we were speaking to the original owner. The car was located in a development somewhere around Eagle Road. I cannot for the life of me remember which house it was.
