Very sad news. My thoughts and prayers to the family. So glad I met the First Lady of Novas. She was a very warm and loving woman.

My condolences go out to the Gibb family.

I was at Vette Fest in 2007. Helen was there with their Blue 1968 Gibb Nova. I was in awe as I had a '68 Nova at the time and was drooling over it. One of her daughters came up and said "my mom said you can sit in the car if you want". It is something that I'll NEVER forget. Nothing but class in that family.

God speed Helen.

Kurt

We had a similar experience. I was at the SLS with my wife and 14 year old grandson. We had stopped to admire the 68 Nova. I was telling my wife and grandkid how this Nova was &quot;special&quot;, when Helen came up to us and pointed to my grandson and said he was welcome to sit in the car. He hesitated for a split second, looked at us for the &quot;ok&quot; and the next thing I knew he was behind sitting the wheel, and Helen was talking with him like they were old friends. He was thrilled and it made his day! Years later, he still talks about sitting in her car. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Gibb family.
