----Anybody in the Seattle area have knowledge of this Memory Lane Motors place??? Thanks in advance.......Bill S

Re: --Memory Lane Motors--
 

They have been around forever but just moved from Tukwila to Renton near the Renton municipal airport. I don't know them personally but two of my friends, one is a friend of the owner and another has done a few deals with him.

Re: --Memory Lane Motors--
 

Mark Ellis, the owner, has been running Memory Lane for almost 20 years. I sold cars there with him about 10 years ago. Straightest shooter among all the dealers I've known/met/worked for. I consider him a good friend, and I still sell my cars through him. Memory Lane Motors is about 5 miles from my house. PM or call me with any questions. (PS If its regarding the '59 Impala fuelie, the car is all that AND a bag of chips. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

My JL-8 car was for sale there around 1995- Mark seemed like a real cool guy- let me take a bunch of pics of a Z/28 that had a console 8-track.

Re: --Memory Lane Motors--
 

Wow Tom, that '59 is a stunner.

Re: --Memory Lane Motors--
 

I know, it just kills me. As much as like that survivor 348/4sp car in the other thread, this black fuelie car really has a LOOK. I don't even mind the Turboglide...

Re: --Memory Lane Motors--
 

I thought 59's had a fuel injection emblem on the fender..... also... I didn't know you could get a turboglide behind a small block.

BTW - I had a '59 when I was 19 in the late 80's... it had a solid lifter 327 with a 4 speed.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]

----My buddy growing ups Mom had a 283 power-pack Turboglide. I remember it well as we used to punish it horribly for being such a bad transmission!!!.......Bill S

Re: --Memory Lane Motors--
 

Look closely at the forward fender under the spear. That's the '59 passenger car FI emblem, a flag and script.

Re: --Memory Lane Motors--
 

Yep Mr. Eaton is right...there is one of these at the Pavillions cruise as well

Re: --Memory Lane Motors--
 

Below is the 1959 Chevy ad that appeared in Motor Trend featuring the '59 full size fuelie. Note the fuel injection emblems on the front fender.

The black car has photo documentation of how it was found (barn fresh, tired but fully intact with all FI equipment) with those emblems right where they are.

Re: --Memory Lane Motors--
 

Man I could own that Impala...oh wait,there is money involved.

Re: --Memory Lane Motors--
 

I guess I should've looked at the picture a little closer.... it does have the FI emblems... oops...
