Re: More pictures of B/G 2
I will assume that the tractors are a tribute to Dale Smith former owner and President of Bloomington Gold.
One of the Good Guys! Anytime Anywhere!
Rest In Peace Dale!

Re: More pictures of B/G 2
Hi Bill,
I'm glad that you posted the picture of the "Corvair".
The owner said that he had been working on it, to the current condition, for the past four years. And that by next years BG show he would be able to drive it.
He also said that he believes it to be the Motorama car from the early 50s. Like most other show cars, I thought that GM had these destroyed or at least not offered for sale.
He did not offer as to where or how he got the car only that he had been doing research to find and restore.
Did you have an opportunity to speak with him?Comment

No I didn't. I kinda get trapped at my swap spot and don't get out to see all of the other stuff.
I didn't make it out to the Show Field this year its to far away from the swap meet. To me that's one of the big down falls of B/G is that they put the cars trying for Gold about as far away as they can!!
I think its 3 fairways over. Now if I was playing golf, I wouldn't have a problem. I'm always in the wrong fairway!!!Bill Lacy

Re: More pictures of B/G 2
THE CAR IS NOT THE REAL MOTORAMA CAR, no matter what he tells you. That guy is the same one who claimed to own 1953 #029 two years ago.
Ken Kayser did a two series article in Vette Vues on the guy. I think it was titled Identity Theft, Two #029's. What a disgrace to our hobby.
Remember the REAL 1953 #029 at Kissimmee two years ago???Last edited by Brett H.; July 11, 2011, 08:57 AM.Comment

Re: More pictures of B/G 2
Brett,
Was not aware of the past dealings with the gentleman.
But having read, and seeing pictures of the Corvette's early history drew me imediately to this car.
It was on display in one of the rows with the rest of the parts for sale section. At first I thought he was selling kit components to make one for your self.
He had a book opened to pictures of the Motorama car.
And then he did say that this was the "Corvair" from back then.
And that he was slowly bringing the car back.
Upon looking at the interior, noticed that the rear deck that covers the convertible top was in place. The fastback body would definately not allow it to open, yet it looked like body was grafted right over it.
With the light cream green color of the body, it did not make sense to have a blue interior color on the deck lid.
When I asked if I could see in the trunk area to see how the inside looked, he changed the subject to another part of the car. That was when the conversation got awkward. At that point I felt it might be hopeless to see under the engine hood.
Am still curious if any other member saw or talked with him about this car.
I do have to say, whether real or not, it DID look very nice to see it.
If only it were made for production...Comment
