Talked with a previous owner Today I spoke with the previous owner, John Frankovich. He bought the car in the early 60's from a Volvo car lot in Peoria IL. When he bought it the car was black, meaning the car has already been in an accident and changed from white to black. The engine was still the orig 6 cly with the side drafts but had a 3sp manual transmission. Frank drove the car for years. He drove the car often to Ft Sheridan, where he served. He remembers and has photos of the car in 64 on the base. He gave the car to his brother Vance who had the car painted in Canton IL at a Chev dealer Art & Genes. Here is was painted a heavy metal flake candy apple red, a 283 was installed, a hole was cut in the hood for the carb, a Cal Custom hood scoop was bolted on and a set a Cragar knock offs were installed. The car was sold to my father in 1970. |
