Calling Ray Morrison

[copo-2]

Rick,

I do not remember Cock Robin or Prince Castle in this area? In Springfield, there was a place that was called "White Castle" or at least the castle part rings a bell? I do remember their burgers, though not very big, being 6 for a dollar.

Frank, the car was put away in late 75, the same year I was married, I believe? It would sit until 89 when there seemed to be a lot of interest developing in muscle cars. I knew I had a car that was pretty rare by it carrying the name and being built by DH. What I didn't know or realize, was that it had come through the Fred Gibb dealership as an original COPO 9738 car that was verified by Fred. In 1990, I took the car to the Nova Nationals in Atlanta, GA. I found there, most were in doubt that the car was ever built and sold by Chevrolet dealers? I was put in the Competition Class for judging where I would get deducted for safety features, such as roll bars, driveshaft loops, etc. When I decided to go to a Super Chevy Show in Memphis this same year, I went prepared with documentation. They did the same thing in trying to put me in a modified class. When this started, I began showing them a few things and they then conceded that it should be shown in Stock Class. From that day on, there has never been a question at any shows I have participated in, as to where it belongs.

Thanks to all for your postive comments, but I envy the many who are devoted with their interest, knowledge, and ability to keep the muscle car history alive, that will be passed on to future generations.
