I just want to bring up an additioal search tool.
I was able to answer a member's question about his original dealer by searching the Corporation records in the state of Florida. Some records go back 50 years and will indicate when a company either changed hands (new name) or was dissolved.
Most all states have this information online for free. I just thought it may help someone out there with a search.
Also, do not hesitate to enlist the help of a Corvette club located in the area where your car was from. I was able to get a COMPLETE TITLE history of my 67 from Oregon including a copy of the original California title when the original owner moved to Oregon in 1969. Problem was as with most states all names and addresses were redacted when I received a "booklet of every title and lien" from 1969 to 2009 in Oregon.
I sent an e-mail to several Corvette clubs in Oregon asking for any knowledge on this car located there from 1969 to 2009. I received the "mother" of all presents a month later when I received a package form someone in one club that included all the docs I already had BUT WITHOUT ANY INFORMATION REDACTED!!! It included a note that said "sorry, no one knows about your car but I hope this helps you!" WOW!!
Just a couple of ideas.
