  1. Yes, John, I just found the information just after I wanted it on the forum. I was purchasing this book in 1975 or 1976 in Brussels, Belgium. It was a bargain! This Rolls-Royce Phantom I Brewster Warwick Limousine (VIN # S279RM – Brewster Body # B5082) was purchased new by Mrs. Tina Pratt of Rochester, NY (whose husband drove a Rolls-Royce Phantom I Piccadilly Roadster). Excepting new paint in 1963, this automobile is unrestored and a tribute to the fine quality cars.
  2. Apparently your Buick is a ghost, a shadow like your first issues.
  3. ... and the speedometer is in kilometers, not in miles.
  4. I presume the cars are at Auto Folies in France. It is interesting to find them here because on their website there are no prices. And call to obtain prices without purchasing is difficult.
  5. ... and here as the Grey car is actually. I will be 75 yo this year and am waiting to find courage and friends for the restoration. My idea is to purchase an US 1966 Corsa or Monza Coupe with a Red interior, keep its engine, gearbox and dash an put them in the Monza in place of the same materials I will get in the Corsa I will paint in the #478 Job. Here are some pics of the car. Don't smile or weep, please.
  6. Here are 2 pics of the Grey Monza kept in 1981 in my parents' estate. They were polaroid so the quality is not very good...
  7. Regarding the gold color, I only have some parts becaus I put the engine and gearbox with the dash with kilometers odometer in one of the Monzas I cloned. The car is grey. I have all the papers but not the VIN plate like the two above as it was robed from the car when parked in the yard of a cousin in 2004 until 2014. I reality he said to me he will park the car in a closed room in September, 2003. But never until August, 2014, he said the car was put ouside near a nightclub he was owner. So I will restore the Grey car with an engine and gearbox I will find and restore an other one with the Corsa engine, gearbox and dash in Gold with red interior. The Grey Monza has an interior in Red too. Gold parts
  8. Hello from the south of Belgium: Is this car always for sale? Nothing indicates it is sold.... Which model is it? Is it an AN like the Red/Black one which is for sale in Aalter, in Flanders, Belgium? A Burgundy / Black was already for sale in The Netherlands in 2010, but it was LHD...
  9. Mazette, une plaque à 1000 euros ! J'en ai aussi une .... avec le prénom de ma femme... Your Reo is beautiful! I cherish that kind of car. You say it is a sedan, she seems very long for a single sedan and as you are giving no pictures of the interior as here as in the ad in Hemmings I can not see if there are occasional seats or not. As Daniel Boeve I also am living in Belgium, but at the other side, in the South near the famous Abbey of Orval with her famous beer.
  10. Eh bien, çà chauffe, Daniel ! Il fut pourtant un temps où, vous aussi, vendiez une Packard 1932... C'était en Juillet 2010, une limousine (7-passenger sedan) 902 verte...
  11. Thank you for your reply, Keith. It's me who introduced C.O.R.S.A. in France in the eighties and I am knowing Clark's from long time. I alreayd was purchasing parts from them. I like Corvairs since 1962 when my parents offered to me a 1962 Belgian Corvair 700 4-d automatic, I purchased a 1962 Canadian Corvair 900 Monza 4-d automatic from a US citizen living in Brussels, Belgium, who was in the same tennis club than me. Himself was purchasing a 1965 4-d Monza. I purchased a 1966 Corsa 140 Coupe in 1974, b ut it was in bad condition and I sold it a few months later and in 1976, I purchased an other Corsa and 2 Monza. I restored the Corsa but due to my marriage in 1979, my car was remaining in my parents estate until 1991 and in my father's manufactory until 2003 but it was vandalized by one of my brothers who was jaleous. After 2003 until last year I didn't know where it was but a cousin of my wife found it in a yard and now it is at home. I wish to restore it in its original colors as I was seeing such combination is very rare: a kind of gold outside and red for the interior. The gold perhaps to be Sandalwood. Happy weekend, Philippe
  12. The second car is as I said a 1966 Monza Coupe. Apparently the original color is a dark Green with White trim but I have the same problem with the plate issued by General Motors Continental in Antwerp. Look Sincerely, Philippe
  13. Hello All, Happy New Year ! ! ! I am Belgian and was purchasing a 1966 Corvair Corsa 140 and a 1966 Corvair Monza Coupes in 1976. The two cars were vandalized by members of my family who were jaleous. Now I have decided to restore the Corsa first in its original colors and trim. For the trim I have no problem because the number 740 is correct Red as said in "CHASSIS and BODY PARTS CATALOG CHEVROLET CORVAIR 1960 THRU 1969". But I do not find the color, the number 478 is not existing on the US market.. It seems to be Sandewood but I am not sure and in the US the trim associated to this color is Fawn, never Red. It is because the combination seems to be unique I decided to restore it in the correct color and trim. I wish also know where the VIN # is engraved in the body/chassis as Corvair is known to have no chassis. Please see the annexed plate With my best regards, Philippe L. Hulet de Limal Florenville Belgium
  14. Pictures, please ! ! ! We can not purchase a cat in a bag...
