Re: Carl Ramsey Chevrolet Brownsville, PA
Hi Ramsey fans,,,,
To add some Fuel ie ,,,,
My Father in-law was an avid customer & personal friend of Mr. Ramsey for many years.
Ramsey at that time was a known Corvette selling Chevy store in as much as Mr. Ramsey was awarded a "sales performance" Gruen Corvette watch in the early 60's......
I now am the Caretaker for this watch given to me & my wife from her father, my Father in law.
Mr Thomas Lynn was the Methodist pastor in Brownsville and in 1968 Mr Ramsey presented it to Mr. Lynn for Years of Friendship.
The watch itself is impressive as its a Gold 17 jewel Gruen with the Chevrolet Corvette Script as the face.(as seen on V8 decks and front headers 55-62) . I also have a signed statement of provenance from Mr. Lynn when he gifted it to us on a Father's Day a few years ago. Thankfully , he is still with us.
I would be Interested in finding a New Care Taker for this Special Corvette piece of History.....
Tom.
I can ask my Dad of Ramsey corvettes ..as he owned dozens.. raced, wrenched and tuned many Hot Local cars , He was from Homestead/Munhall in the early 60's moving to West Mifflin in 1964.
Yes... we know very well, the ZO6 Tanker from Homestead, road raced against Don Yenko.
