That is just too freakin' cool, Phil. Not many can say they have this much documentation of previous owners for their car. So awesome!

Cheers
Dave

Great pics Phil, you're a lucky guy. I searched for years for old pics of my COPO (now owned by Jeff Latondress).

Other owners have pictures too, but have not produced them. I'm trying to be persistent, without being a pest. The 4th owner said he had some stuff from the car, but his ex disposed of it. He didn't do much more than the third owner, racing on summer weekends, same track(s). These pictures are really cool to me. They capture the era pretty well. The car still retained the black contact paper on the lower rear quarters, door edge guards and mini-mud flaps that the original owner installed.

It was great to be with you when you were handed the envelope with those pictures. Those two had some fun back then and great stories too.

Mike </div></div>

As Mike and I were talking with Denny and Lloyd, Denny (third owner) mentioned that he worked/retired from the Aerospace division of Goodyear in Akron. As it happens, Mike's father retired from there years back. Mike asked Denny if he knew his father and it ends up that he did. Small world.

I still find it interesting that these guys that street raced around Akron are still perusing local car scenes. While having a beer with Denny and Lloyd, Lloyd mentioned some horrific accidents that young drivers had back then while hot rodding around in their muscle cars.

Will do Bill. They talked about the POGO and Manners quite a bit. I'll ask about the Flame.

According to my NCRS report on this car, she left the assembly line 50 years ago today. Happy Birthday. And... according to the POP, it was sold 5 days later on 6/23/69. I plan to meet up with the original owner this Sunday for a pop or two. This car has created a lot of fun and good memories for all the owners along the way.
