The Brooks' [original owners] traded in a 1960 4door Ford Falcon for their beloved Greenbrier.
And I can't really read anything on this PO, but here it is.
And here is the service order for a new engine and other maintenance.
Next entry, photos and details of a few outings we've had since bringing Greenbrier home.
heh, "check engine, made noise and quit running." Along with a towing charge from Rebels. I wonder if he was the guy with the toe-truck?
ReplyDeleteThis is great! The car has been pre-disastered; your days with it will be trouble free...
Vashon Island is pretty cool too. (used to live in Seattle and was at the World's fair the same time as your 'vair. I was 4 at the time.)
How do you plan on celebrating the 'brier's big five oh birthday on Feb 23? :)
ReplyDeleteThat van was originally sold in my hometown; the first owner's old house is on one of my routes to work! Unless it went to the west coast early on, it's a wonder it survived the winters. The snow & salt were not kind to Corvairs of any shape in this part of the country.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine has a red Corvair Convertible that he restored; coolest feature is the Nader for President sticker on the back bumper. ;o)
Happy 50th birthday to your Greenbrier today, Feb 23, 2012. The bill of sale shows it was purchased on Feb 23, 1962. It was also purchased from Jay-shon Chev and now owned by Jason!
