You can see the Url that automatically come up when I select a pic from my computer. What are you changing on the url to get the pic to come up?

You also reversed the "<span style="color: #6600CC">]</span>" at the beginning of the link, too:
It's always <span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-weight: bold">[img] "photo location" </span></span>
Finally, when everything is right and it <span style="font-weight: bold">still doesn't post-it's usually due to <span style="color: #FF0000">special characters</span> in the "file name"...like <span style="color: #FF0000">*</span> or <span style="color: #FF0000">_</span> or <span style="color: #FF0000">-</span> or <span style="color: #FF0000">&</span>. </span>
To solve this issue, before loading onto the site, rename it as "<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #6600CC">1.jpg</span></span>" (without the quotes) <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

I found more info that indicates Ben Hansford was Zone 11 Dealer # 253.
Too late to edit above but does that fit for your situation Marlin?

Willie,
I think you are asking about the significance of the dealer and zone codes? Zones codes were ares in specific areas although we do some overlapping. Each dealership fell within a specific zone. In your case zone 49 is the PA area. Now each dealer had a specific dealer code, so again in your case dealer 540 is:
Ammon R Smith as you already know. The dealer codes are somewhat alphabetical or at least started that was but as time went on, dealers closed down, acquisitions, purchases etc, you can't really count on that so much. See listings below for code 49 dealers that are decoded.

Wille:
Your 71 Nova SS model 11427 came with a 350 CI 270 HP motor. May I suggest two very informative sites that may help you with you information and research:
