Sorry for my delay in posting, I was out of town for several days and just got the news myself! Thanks to Marlin's intensive legwork and title searching, as well as some digging by myself and a few others, it turns out my car was not sold new in MD as the previous owner had believed. While the car did spend a portion of its life within 10 miles of Lustine Chevrolet in Hyattsville MD, it turns out (through a DMV title search of Maryland) that it did not start life there, and was actually originally titled in VA, and spent well over a decade in and around the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area before the title was transferred to MD. I am still making calls and attempting to contact each previous owner individually and will provide updates to everyone who may be interested. Through the title searches we have done and in talking with the owners that i have located already, I now know that the car was originally sold at Colonial Chevrolet. As you may know, Colonial was the largest sYc Network distributor, selling at least 15 of the 175 Deuces, and was located right in the heart of Norfolk VA. .. Which also means there is an unaccounted for Lustine car still out there somewhere waiting to be discovered!
