The Berger Show was great!!!!! My Chevelle was reunited with the first and second owners and brought back home to the place it was sold from. Grand Rapids is a cool city, a smaller version of Woodward ave going on all the time, very cool. They are into cruising. Pictures soon.

The original owner, Doug Harrison reunited with the Chevelle he bought in July of 1969!!!! I met with Doug and his wonderful family. Doug drove his old Chevelle later that night at his house.

For Sure. I met the original owner of my copo this year at the Camaro nationals, and am so glad that I video's it.

The information that you can get is priceless and great documentation.


Edit: Little late on the response! Great pic and glad you let him drive it!

Re: Berger 69 post SS 396 Chevelle
 

Good deal Jeff. Congrats!

Re: Berger 69 post SS 396 Chevelle
 

That is super cool. Wish the original owner of my COPO was still alive to see it today.

Re: Berger 69 post SS 396 Chevelle
 

I will have more pics this weekend. Didn't expect to win anything there was a lot of nice cars there. The Camaro club that put on the show was fantastic and was very nice to me. The second owner of the car came walking up and said he had a car like that when he was 16, ever heard that, and come to find out it was his car. The show was just getting over so I let him and his wife drive it! The look on their face was priceless.

Roger Hildebrand and his wife of 39 years. They went on dates together in the Chevelle!

Re: Berger 69 post SS 396 Chevelle
 

Took Chevelle to the original owners house after the show so he could drive it. It was very cool to see him drive it with his family and the look on his face as he drove it.

Re: Berger 69 post SS 396 Chevelle
 

Good call.

Imagine the memories for the owner.

Nicely done.

My Dad was sick a few years ago, (under good control now) so I dropped off my Chevelle for him to drive for the summer, if he felt OK he would drive it to Tim Hortons and such. Boosted his spirits, and the car is a car, it has four tires for a reason. TO DRIVE, and TO HAVE FUN.

Re: Berger 69 post SS 396 Chevelle
 

Thanks for sharing the pics. of the Berger show. That's great you let the two previous owners drive the car; what a neat experience for everybody. Not too many dealerships left with the history of Berger, where you can go to their show and see so many original dealership cars and their owners.
Beautiful car, I bet they were all excited to see you.

Re: Berger 69 post SS 396 Chevelle
 

I think Rick is a little more &quot;E-shy&quot; than you or I Dan. Takes time to get into this fun stuff.

I am keen to see what SS 396 Post Sedan he has, but no feedback yet.....if needed I'll go drive around Burlington and see what I find...

Ryan

Re: Berger 69 post SS 396 Chevelle
 

Ryan/Rick,
I am also keen to see what he has. It's nice to have a fellow &quot;post&quot; owner close by since I'm in Hamilton.

Hi Randy,

You used up your #2 Post to Post about another Canadian Post owner's #2 Post.

How's your interior going?

Ryan

Re: Berger 69 post SS 396 Chevelle
 

Hey guys sorry have not had a chance to reply. I will dig up some photos. I bought the car off ebay in December 2011 from a gentleman named Dan in Streater Illinois. Car had all new GM panels put on it a long time ago and was left in storage for many years. I have all the documents from GM Canada proving its the real deal. Car was built in Canada and shipped to the states and sold new in the states. I will post the GM doc's and photos. The car was all together when I bought it, I started disassembling the car to restore and then decided to move onto my other 69 SS and am still restoring it. I figured given how rare the post car was I would hang onto it for a while before completing it so I could gather more info and OEM parts for the car. Will keep you &quot;Posted&quot; !
