Default Re: Schucki Chev., Waterloo Iowa. JL-8 sold new there

Thanks....hope someone knows someone from back then....Ive got my fingers crossed....apparently the car had one small(5") star painted/airbrushed? on the upper q.p. on each side at some point early on...I would have never known but a prior owner asked if they were there and I can still see evidence of them now that I know where to look....

Ive spoken a few times with the original owner's brother who said he went with the original owner when he bought the car new... he stated that there were 2 cars in the showroom, mine and a red Z...the red car having the x-ram sitting in the trunk...
I'm certain the x-ram came from the parts department, but I assume they were marketing the car with the parts included..and apparently separate....He also said that his brother picked the JL-8 car because they knew they could go back and buy the x-ram separate later on....and he said that the Edelbrock x-ram worked better anyway and costed less than the GM init...I assume he is probably right...??

Thanks, Max
