Gene Brink Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Phil,Fascinating sleuthing! Great that you managed to get the plate - particulary since it had been removed frome the car! And you've managed to free the motor - with some luck you may not need to overhaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landman Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Phil,I read this with lots of interest. It inspired me to follow up on my initial intent of posting a search notice for previous owners of the 1934 Chevrolet I am restoring. It will be a long shot since the car sat in the same spot since 1951. My uncle and father owned it between 1943 & 51 when it was parked on my grandfather's farm. I have posted my work on this forum under "Our cars and restorations", "reconstruction of a 1934 Chevrolet". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
