My 1937 CORD is one of 400 built by Bill Lear of Lear Jet fame in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the late 60's.  I purchased this car online from Illinois from a dealer whose owner traded him in for a new Cadillac!  I have owned my car for 6 years this summer.  My wife and I drive it to many meets, car shows, cruise-ins and parades.  Ask me about my CORD anytime.......George Chamberlain

 

My 1976 AMC REBEL CONV. SST* is one of  1686 built that year.   It's a  6 cylinder,   232 automatic transmission.   Peach yellow is the original color and sports a black top and interior. 

          I brought the car  in 1976 with about 130,000 original miles and in pretty bad shape about 4 years ago.  After lots of work is was ready to show. I'm the third owner and I bought it in Sayer,  PA.  I love to talk about my cars, so ask me about one the next time you see me..........  Dick Ellsworth
