Default Re: Another cool pic!

Marlin, Two points, First: Is Wallace Chevrolet still in buisness? The store is/was only about 20 miles from my home. It is/was in Linden, New Jersey. If I can gather any info for you let me know. I will ask around at the track and see if any of the racers know any of the techs who worked there. Sometimes life is so ironic, I bought a suit last week from a gentleman who was the sales manager in charge of high performance cars at Briggs Chevrolet in South Amboy, New Jersey. He shared some interesting history with me. I thought that it was very cool because he told me that many previous stories that I was told (at the track) were embelished folk lore. People love to add on their own ideas and theories and then pass them along as the "honest to God truth". Point 2: If I may I would like to "throw in" this bid of first hand info. I am restoring a '65 Chevelle Malibu (non SS) and I just had a argument over my grill with my "expert" Chevelle buddy. The car has a black trim on the grill which is part of the "SS" package. The "expert" told me that "the grill had to have been installed by someone later because it was a "SS" only part. My parents bought the car new in '65 and the car is ALL original, never been hit,never been repaired, never been anything. He said that this was not possible but my parents have pictures of the car new and it is real. I share this to add to the argument that Chevrolet did not always follow the same procedures.
