Re: '66 427 from Queen City Chevrolet, Cincinnati to Lawton, Oklahoma
Hello Everybody,
I recently had a good phone conversation with Cliff Browning Jr. about my 1966 Corvette described in this thread. He remembered that his father, U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Clifton J. Browning purchased this car 1973-1974 for him from a fellow army officer there at Fort Sill, Lawton, Oklahoma while his father was assigned to the "Readiness Group." Cliff Jr. was 19 years old at the time and was working as a civilian in the Oklahoma oil fields. He doesn't recall the name of the prior owner army officer.
So the new clue and hopeful lead is the unit that his father was assigned to at that time. I don't know if this prior army officer owner was also assigned to the "Readiness Group" there at Fort Sill. Cliff Jr. strongly feels that this prior owner may have been the original owner of my '66 who was the one who brought it to Oklahoma from Ohio?
Please read post #15 just before this post. That will give you all other pertinent information about my search so far. Any help with my prior owner research would be very much appreciated,
Mike
