68,

--------Of course you could possibly be right. Its a stretch, but possible.
--------I can tell you from living in south Florida from 69 on and off till 76 that BM was sort of like the enemy. All my buddies felt like they could do better than the New Yawk boys. That, of course, doesnt mean that they could, only that they thought they could. As in all parts of the country back then some builders were better than others. Those guys names are the ones that still seem to pop up today. Ken Veney just ran out of his gas station on Oakland Park Blvd. for a long, long time, but,oh boy, could he make em run. And there were many others in South Fla. just like him. Some stayed with 4 wheels, alot sort of graduated to fast boats and never looked back. There was a bunch of money in fast boats back then, if you know what I mean. A friend of mine "Joe" went the boat direction and he had one of the biggest Corvette shops in the south. You should see some of the boats they built and rigged back in the day.
--------Where am I going with all this? I dont know. Just reminising, I guess. Hope you all dont mind!.........Bill S
