Contacting Car's Original Owner

[Rumbleguts396]

I found the Original owner of My 1969 Corvette in the early 1990’s. He was over the top thrilled when I reached out to him as he hadn’t seen his old corvette since the 1970’s. I am lucky enough to be in instant contact at anytime. Having his cell and sending him photos and asking questions about the cars history. My initial contact was not easy. I have all the original purchase documents. His address when he purchased the car New was the USNA in Annapolis Md. This was before google etc. So I called the alumni office of the USNA. Luckily and helpful lady answered my call. She Looked up his name and bingo. She had a current address as he was on the alumni mailing list. She told me he was a retired Captain/Pilot and his Information was classified. She told to write him a letter and mail it to her at the alumni office and she would slip it into the next quarterly mailing. 6 months later he called my house thrilled!!! And we speak several times a year. So morale of the story. Don’t give up. Car guys will ALWAYS be Car Guys!!!! Rob
