oldcarfudd Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I'm from NJ, but was transferred by Prudential Insurance to Minneapolis in 1964 and stayed until 1970, when I was again transferred to Houston. (Talk about culture shock!) I bought my first collector car, a 1931 Model A Ford Victoria, in 1965 and joined the AACA and the Central (Minneapolis) Chapter.

STEVE POLLARD Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I'm not from Minnesota, but my car is. My '69 Impala was out there from new until 2004 when I purchase it. It was purchased new at the Village Chevrolet Co. in Wayzata by Mr. Henry Anderson of Wayzata. Second owner was Ms. Gloria Van Nyhuis of Nevis, Mn. Then a flipper purchased it from the second owner's estate sale and the car went north to Audubon, Mn. I purchased it from the flipper on Ebay and had it shipped to my home here in NY. I know it's a long shot, but it would be cool to find out if any of the members here had known these prior owners or family members. Thanks 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, West, I didn't know either of them, either through the car club or the Pru. Were they in the Minneapolis Regional Home Office, as I was, or elsewhere in one of the sales offices? Looks like I missed knowing a couple of good people. Gil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Like West. Minnneapolis has been in my rearview mirror since 1950. Like oldcarfudd, I in lived in NJ in my Wonder Bread years (5-15) and Retired from Prudentail Financial after 23 years as a Financial Advisor in Florida. Both my parents grew up in Minneapolis and went to High School and College there before moving us all to Princeton, NJ 1950. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gil They both worked in the building facing Highway 12 (now it's I-394), west of Minneapolis near corner of Highway 100. They were more involved with the Classic Car Club, but were both members of AACA as well. Tom Warth went on to build Classic Motorbooks, ignoring my dad's advice to remain at Prudential where he had job security. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
