I have checked this board every so often and was told by a friend he thought he saw a photo of my car on here. Sure enough so here I am. Some of the names I know, some I will get to know. The tie in I have here is I am the son of one of Gordon Carlson's oldest, now passed on friends. You say ok who is Gordon? He is the original owner of Sam Griffith's 62 Plymouth. My father and Gordy were best men at each others weddings. I met Sam this winter at pavilions. I was mentioned here:

My Blue 60 Vette is next to my friend Kelly's 66 427 roadster. I am a Vette guy myself and currently have the 60 & 66 roadsters (tracking this one was interesting) my father owned and a 97 Mallett car and a 03 roadster.

Welcome! And it was nice to meet you briefly and hear you tell your story to Sam...

Unfortunately...no Pavillions for me today.

Hey Tommy. Welcome and glad to see you post here. Fellas 'round here are pretty tolerant of 'vette guys. Heck some have even admitted liking the Savoy. I spoke to Gordy last week after his old Savoy was featured in Hemmings Muscle Machines. His buds were giving him a hard time and I think he was enjoying it. Hope to see you up at the Pavillions soon.

Take 'er easy.
