I got a care package from Wayne today including this photo of Wickline Chevrolet's salesman, Hoover Potter, (I pictured him to be much older for some reason ) handing the keys to Wayne. There were some other items in the care pkg which I will photograph/scan and post later. Sure made my day!

You may have remembered me making a post about asking Wayne about the "Wickline" plate frame about a year ago (see 1st 2 photos below). Wayne figured he tossed the frame shortly after getting his Chevelle home. He was rootin' through his stuff recently and surprised himself when he came across the frame. Pretty nice shape. It too arrived today with Wayne's best wishes....









A very generous man to be sure!

He found these valve springs in his stash too. Said he went thru a few of these while racing and always kept a few on hand...
