Just a small portion of our showroom at our shop that Annie Hartweg and I dedicated to Dennis and his collection of memorabilia and memories.

Yep, just a little harder to see as we had to put in many shelving units on the floor to accommodate all the freshly restored parts for customer cars so it became a little "cluttered".

Cool pic posted of the transporter. Why do they all have Cragars already mounted?

All the 50 Novas were delivered to Fred Gibb Chevrolet by July 15, 1968. They all had the same specifications except there was 4 different colors ( Tripoli Turquoise, Grecian Green, Matador Red, & Fathom Blue) involved and a difference in interior colors,Black for the first 3 colors mentioned & Blue with the Fathom Blue cars. All 50 were delivered to Gibb with hubcaps in place, not Cragers?

My belief that the picture shows the Novas that are modified by Dick Harrell who used a lot of SS Cragers on the 68 Novas & Camaros he modified at DHPC in K.C., MO.

From the November 1972 issue of Hot Rod Magazine. It certainly appears to one of the Gibb ‘68 Nova’s.
