  1. Got this from my Aunt Reanee Kalvinski. It would have been 1995 that I talked to him to try and buy the car back.  J.B. had told me he was a funeral director in Birmingham and I don't remember how I got his name and number.  Maybe Sarah gave it to me.  But I called him and he told me that he had moved the car and truck up to the upper peninsula where he had restored a cemetery.  He had even had his parents reinterred there.  I seem to recall that he also restored a chapel.  Unfortunately I can't remember what town in the UP.  I remember he shared with me how much he liked J.B. and he would probably never know for sure if he bought them because he liked them or he liked him so much.

    He told me that he had had a building built to store them and even displayed his trophies there.  He told me that he did not want to sell them, but offered anytime I was up there, stop in, see them and even take them for a ride.  He also said he would keep my name and number with the car should they ever be up for sale after him.  That was 22 years ago now.  He might be gone as well by now.

  2. My name is Michael Alexander and I am trying to find out information about the car, and truck my grandfather J.B. Alexander sold in either 1990 or 1991, to a funeral home director in Birmingham MI and lived in the Up’s. My grandfather’s name was J.B. Alexander and his wife was Sarah Alexander and they lived in Warren Michigan on Studebaker.  The car was  a 1930 Chevrolet 4 dr Sedan and the truck a 1925 or 1926  Model TT. I know this is a long shot but I didn’t know what direction to start looking. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help. I can provide photos if it will help.

  3. II have checked with State Farm where he had insurance and they had no luck looking back that far, cause after he sold the car and truck he moved to Tennessee.  I have also sent over 180 emails to funeral homes in Michigan and still no luck.  When I called the Secretary of State in Michigan I got blocked cause I will have to hire a private investigator to try and get info and also they didn't sound promising on being that long ago.  The question I asked them is from what the forums are telling me the car has a Pioneer plate and should be traceable but just can't find someone that wants to work with me.  Willing to try about anything to find the vehicles.  Thanks for all the comments and suggestions I sure will try them

The person that bought both vehicles also got all the trophies my grandfather had won showing the vehicles. My grandfather’s name was J.B.
