Default Re: Fred Gledhill Chevrolet

[ QUOTE ]
I picked up a Gledhill Chevrolet license frame at Carlisle this week. Pretty cool find at a PA swap meet IMO. Supposedly the James Garner A.I.R. L88 Vettes were to be shipped there. Whether they actually ever made it to the dealership or not is hard to say...

I believe the James Garners Vettes were from Clippenger Chevrolet in West Covina CA . Bob Wingate was a salesman at Clippinger and known for having factory pull and selling a lot of HiPo cars (sold my 69Z to the original owner) and put the AIR/Guldstrand/Garner deal together






Ahh I read that article and see the conection.. Wingate was known for getting the job done one way or another

Also.. I found some Clippinger frames on So Cal Craigslist so anyoenneeding frames that is a possibility
