Cool Brigance Chevrolet Memorobilia.

[hvychev]

I am going to post a few Brigance Chevrolet items for everybody. I think that everybody knows that the famous "Mr. Ed" worked there and they had a pretty big Hi-Po vehicle Dept. The first item is a letter that Mr. Ed wrote me that I got through one of his very very dear friends. I didn't ask for it he just gave it to me because we had discussed them before. If you can't read the letter it says Dear Frank, A big block is the only way to go! Best Regards, "Mr Ed" Ed Schoenthaler. I wonder if he told his customers that! BTW I really did not want to post what I got from him because from what I am told he does not want to be badgered by people looking for stuff. Since I am among friends I don't think that will be a problem from this group.

This is a really neat piece. Mr Ed said this is one of only 3 that he knows of. I got it with the letter from him and a NOS trunk decal is on the way. I did not want to scan it because I really don't want to have copys out there. The decal is a water transfer that could go on the outside or inside of the window. The back of the decal has print on it from the advertising company that produced them.

The next few are some really neat pieces that were with a 67 Chevelle Malibu at a car show I was at today. The Malibu was bought from it's elderly woman original owner a couple of years ago completely original. The car was restored by the guy that I bought my Chevelle from. The first pic is of the dealer decal that they reproduced from the original that was removed from the trunk.

The next one is of the Chevrolet bag that all the paperwork went in.

Here is the coolest item. The guy had two keychains from Brigance. They were shaped like bullets and were made of plastic with the tip a clear red. A key comes out like a switchblade which the owner of the car said is a trunk key. He would not sell them at any price. I even offered him $200 and he passed!
