69 SS nova big block car ????

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Well, after almost two years of research, & 4 title searches, the ownership history has taken a twist! I was informed by all prior owners that a particular person named Elmo (deceased) in Maryland was the original owner of this '69 SS Nova. I was continueing my research to determine the original selling dealership.

After receiving the lastest title search results, I have found out that Elmo was not the original owner, nor did the car sell new in Maryland! Elmo's dad Elmer was the first person in Maryland to own this Nova, purchasing it from Sunderland Chev. in Baltimore on 8-17-70. Elmer 'gifted' the car to his son Elmo on 5-19-75, although it is known that the son drove the car since '70.

According to the search results, this Nova came from PA! The build date of the car is Feb. 1st week, and the original PA title date is Feb. 28, 1969. The title that was transferred from PA to MD has 'National Bank & Trust Co' as the owner, possibly indicating that the was traded in or repo'd as there are no liens listed on it. So, my search continues to find the original dealership in PA - unfortunately, PA does not have nearly the title info that MD does, but you never know what you can turn up
