Brigance Chevy/Mr Ed 1969 Chevelle 427 Convert.

I graduated from B-town in 66 and moved to Pittsburgh. Moved back to Exton in 83 and moved to Chattanooga in 89.
BTW I actually grew up in Forgedale, outside of Bally. My school bus went by Grandview when it was being built.
Not sure what this had to do with Brigance Chevrolet, but it was fun strolling down memory lane.

Allright fellas here are the pics. Mr C came back home from Viet Nam in December of 1968 and picked up his car shortly after from Mr Ed. These pics were taken in the spring of 1969.

Orange plates in IL were from 1969. You can see them on the car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I love to see pics of how the old neighborhood looked back in the day. For all who don't live in Chi-town this is my old neighborhood in Cicero IL. (where Al Capone hung out! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])

Good motor shot. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I cropped out the pic of the motor so we could see a close up of the air cleaner decals.
I don't know about the scanned pics but the originals clearly state a 375 hp car.

For the hell of it I decided to post this pic as well. In the same envelope of car pics was this shot of a 1968 Mustang that belonged to Mr C's wife that she took when the car was brand new. On the back of the pic she whote how she called her car "Mrs. Robinson." She must have seen the movie The Graduate in 1967 only one year earlier!

Pictures are worth the wait. Thanks Frank. We really should have a direct [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]link to vintage photos.

Marlin, I think that Darren means that we should expand the vintage pics section to add all of the recent pics other than all the Deuce pics. Could we add the pics that have been recently been in the Vintage Camaro, Chevelle, & Nova threads?. Ones like those that I added in the Brigance thread and Clints car would be neat as well.

That sounds good to me! The more the better!

Love the old pictures. If only I was a geezer and could have lived then [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

boy those time warp pics could be worth a bunch to someone trying to do a correct resto. I like the old suburban in the background too.DAVE
