It amazes me the true enthusiasts I meet in this hobby. I have received many calls from the msn.com story and one gentleman from Washington and I talked for some time. He had no ties to me, the car or Yenkos at all but had a pair of V.V. Cooke license plate frames and wanted me to have them even though they were in poor shape and the wrong years. I thought it was awesome and will put them on our wall in our display room and will not be for sale. Thank you Mike V, a true hobbyist and now friend.

Rick, do you know about what year the top frame was used. I have one from Beasley-Cross Chevrolet in Kannapolis NC that looks just like your frame even the red paint.

Bob, I do not nor did the gentleman who passed them onto me. It would be nice to know so that it will add to the history of the dealership. From what I was told one of the salesman from the era at V.V. Cooke now works for another dealership that either took it over or was nearby. I need to find the time to get back to Louisville to find my transmission and follow up on some of these other leads and meet some of the many people from the area that have contacted me.
