Ziggy, you must have did your search with your driver's lic. #, correct?

Obviously I know my grandfathers name and address, year, make, model, and color of car. But that is about it.

My dad was the oldest of 5 kids. He passed away almost 2 years ago now. In my DADS memory I WILL be buying a 1967 427 Corvette. Dad was a car guy when younger and ALMOST got back into it back in 1967 when the 427 Vette's came out. My older brother always told me dad wanted to buy the Vette in 1967, but with me being born in '66, he needed a 4 seater, so he bought a Sport Fury. Dad always like Vettes and he got a brain tumor in summer of 2014. Dr took his lic and he never drove on the road after. Spring of 2017 local GM dealer had 8 new Vette's on their lot, and dad again started talking about getting a new Vette. Well I had heard that enough over the years. So I got my mom and dad into his Benz SUV and went to the dealership. Salesguy comes out as were looking and I tell him were here to buy NOW. Look at dad and say pick the one you want. Mom takes him for a ride and they come back and dad couldn't get out of the car without help. So that ended the Vette days for him. BUT NOT ME.

Grandfather was always very proud of his Coupe De Ville. I drove it in 1978 when I was 12 around the parking lots in Florida. First car I drove. It was a gift from my grandmother to grandfather for his retirement in 1976. She bought it local and told grandpa she wanted to look at new cars, even though he just bought a new Buick in 1975. Car was stilling out front, all nice and shiny with plates on it. I guess grandpa was looking at it and really liked it, BUT it had plates on it already. Dealers said "take it for a test drive, I don't think the owner would mind?" He then looked at grandma and asked if it was ok if he drove the car? She said "SURE IT'S IN HIS NAME ANYWAY".

So now being financially ok and was close to both grandparents, (actually name after this grandfather too), I'm thinking it would be nice to have grandpa's old Caddy in my collection as a summer driver, in his momory/honour. Nice that 1976 is also the last year of the BIG Caddy's and the 500" motors too as bonuses.

Thanks John
