Just got the latest issue and there is a 5 page story about the Fred Gibb dealership and the story behind the COPO cars.....also a full page story about Bob Lionberger .......Great reading for anyone that doesn't know the History of the Gibb dealership

I need to subscribe to this magazine, I end up buying it every month, anyway.

I really liked the story about the &quot;Fast Track&quot; Nova. The 2-page picture was taken at SCR XII in 2009. I know this for a fact because I was staging in the left lane when that picture was taken. Strange that Bob McClurg didn't mention that Brian Henderson was at the wheel, and that he did something to the transmission in that car that we can't even talk about in front of women.

(He crossed the finish line about 6&quot; before I did. It was a real buzz kill to find out that his tranny had suffered a catastrophic failure.) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]

This is what a catastrophic failure looks like:

I knew Bob (McClurg) was working on a story. Dang the luck: I think my MCR subscription just expired!!!!!! Gotta go hit the magazine racks now. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Anybody know of a Gibb sold Kaiser/Frazer for sale anywhere? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]
