Hi from Nat’l. Chevy, It’s still hot here. We had a short break with some cooler weather, but it’s back up to the 90’s. Yesterday Paul was up early, as usual, and he made a list of things to do – we got a couple of simple things done and watched TV most of the rest of the day. It was just too hot to do anything. We’ve been parting out some cars finally, but nothing is being processed as of yet. I’m not sure what he is going to do with the car shells, but I’m hoping they will be gone. We kind of got more sitting around than usual. As soon as parts are processed, we will get more listed on our website. We’re still keeping busy around here with orders and renewals. Just a note to those of you that have renewed your membership.... THANKS! We appreciate your support and hope we can continue to earn your support and please remember to let us know if you need help or have any problems with your order or newsletter arriving. We have a couple of new parts as you can see in this newsletter and hopefully we’ll have more in the near fu-ture. We are having problems getting windshield gaskets and channel right now and some of our other suppliers seem to be back ordering more parts. They don’t seem to be keeping as much in stock as before. Hopefully this will change soon. Keep the great articles coming. We have been getting some fantastic cars and hope more of you will send in some pictures and articles of your car. Time to go – ‘til next time.......

Car recently purchased from the estate of a lady who bought the car new in February, 1950. I have the original sales slip from the dealer, origi-nal keys, and papers.

The car had plastic seat covers put on when it was new. The front seat has a few small holes. The back seat is very good. The paint is better than you can imagine. This car is truly and original antique. Original seat covers, headliner, door panels, etc. All work was professionally done. You will not find another 61-year old car in as good condition as this one. Runs and drives like new with no rattles or squeaks and could be driven anywhere. Don’t miss out on owning this piece of history. You will definitely be a proud owner. Buyer responsible for picking up or shipping. I will help any way pos-sible. Car is in Texas.
