Bill Thomas stuff

[mbxlesney]

Bruce.....Was Cone Bros in Anaheim and Cone of Fullerton related? Seeing that they were only 3 miles apart. I see that Bill Thomas's shop was right in the middle of the 2 Cone dealerships at 1.5 miles from each dealership. I contacted Anaheim Chevrolet in the mid 90s and they mentioned a Southland then Woody before their ownership. Also if you have any luck finding any Cone Chevrolet license plate frames please still keep me in mind. Also on a Bill Thomas note I did some research and found another tie. Their was a man named Mike Jones who worked for Bill Thomas in the 1967-68 era that became manager of O.C.I.R. in late 68. He was interviewed by Drag News in Jan. 69 when he was 32 years old. (The same track that Mr. Cone of Fullerton was a stockholder and past president) Mike would be about 71 years old now and I would guess Bill Thomas would be about 75 now. Just some more Bill Thomas trivia. Vern Trider seems to be in this mix also. Interesting
