While I wait for some updated progress pictures, a freind sent me an E-mail with the below pictures.
Apparently there is a collection of Chevrolet convertibles in a collection that includes, every single model of car made as a rag top from Chevy all the way back to the year 1912. Here is the text of the E-mail, I make no claims as to the accuracy of the data, but it seems about right…
If these don’t render correctly, WordPress seems to have some sort of hang up rendering .bmp images, I don’t know why but it wouldn’t allow me to change the size on these images, or post them in a photo gallery with thumbnails.
WHAT A COLLECTION!
Top this one!
Every Chevrolet convertible since 1912!
Wow! What do you suppose this collection is worth?
This collection belongs to Dennis Albaugh in Ankeny, Iowa – just north of Des Moines .
The personal and private collection consists of 110 + Chevrolet convertibles…
all years from 1912 to 1975 and Corvette convertibles from 1953 to 1975.
That is a Chevy convertible from every year of manufacture EXCEPT 1939…
The reason? – Chevy didn’t make a convertible in ’39 — and ended its convertible line in ’75!
His ‘boy toys’ include his own 18 hole golf course, copied somewhat after Augusta National.
He is what you call a REAL Chevy guy, but his passion seems to be convertibles!
