I remember Tom T ... from when I used to work as a vendor for the GM tech center. I did NOT meet him through my work though.

He spent most of his working time dealing with old Corvettes, chasing down ads from the Tradin Times, swap meets, etc.

I was amazed at all the time he spent during work days doing that. I saw him at Carlisle in the mid 70's in a company vehicle with Michigan M plates (a suburban I recall) selling as well.

I had a 64 coupe at the time and I had JUST sold him a dash cluster a week or two earlier and I needed a gauge for my car. I called him and no, he was not going to help me. He WOULD sell me back what i just sold him but for 3 x what he paid me ...

Others I know would see him at Florida shows with GM vehicles (with Michigan M plates) hawking his stuff. He sure got around and I could never figure out WHAT he did at &quot;work&quot;, he must have had some awesome job as he was never there it seemed and he always got GM to pay for his transportation [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

He DID come up with cool stuff though.
