I wonder how long it took to amass that collection?

Ed Meyer knows the exact dates but over 30 years. The bulk was acquired in the first 10.

The first item I sold to him, (actually two Scat Pack press kits) was over 30 years ago.

While sorting the collectlion, I found both. Steven also showed me the original hand written envelope that I mailed it in when I visited with him shortly before his passing. He said, "hey, I have to show you something." He went over to one of the showcases, shuffled some stuff and pulled it out; "Remember this?" he said with a smile. His memory for acquiring items was absolutely incredible.

I will treasure that memory...

That is one amazing memory!!!

This hobby is about so much more than cars!!

Keep an eye out for a Pistol Grip Shifter I can adapt to my Cutlass. I would love to have a little tribute Mopar part in my Olds.
