Seeking Info About This Gorries-Golden Mile COPO

[JJR69COPO]

Thanks to all the members who stopped to see the car at MCACN. I enjoyed meeting all of you and appreciate your kind words!

I am happy to report that the car scored 99.8% on Legends judging and 1000/1000 on Concourse judging. We also received an Emerald Award for Outstanding First Time Shown.

Besides being a great weekend overall, I had the pleasure of meeting a good friend of the car's second owner, Peter Janda. Earlier in the thread, I had posted a photo of a blond haired gentleman standing next to the car at what appeared to be a car show. Previously, I assumed this was either the first or second owner, but I was not sure which. This weekend, I learned from Mike S. that this is in fact Peter Janda. Turns out, around 1992, Mike S. took the photo I posted earlier as well as the other photos I will be posting later today. Mike S. also confirmed the car's originality and low mileage during Peter's ownership between 1985 and 2011.

This is a good example of why it's so much fun to go to MCACN and other shows!

I'm still in the process of compiling a list (it's long) of those I want to thank and acknowledge for their help getting the car over the finish line.
