Re: POST OLD PICTURES of CORVETTES HERE - NOSTALGIA

There was a photo taken the next year with the partially completed arch in the background. Photo date was 10-15-1965, with white '66 Convertibles; It's been posted a few times here on ncrs.org, as well as on facebook.com. If I recall correctly, it is also in this thread.

I know the picture you are talking about and the interesting thing about that photo is if you look in the background they are putting the last piece in place for the arch. Kind of a neat picture really.

I apologize if this one has already been posted, but, even if it has, it's worth another look!

Bradley University circa 1964.

That reminds me of a certain group on the NCRS National Road Tour. Except it was the grille opening. I think it was Anaheim, site of the famous Diabolical Dipstick and Maryland Mucous drag race.

The guy in the picture is Nat Reeder. He worked at a place called Fiberglass Auto Body on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. They say he was quite an artisan when it came to fiberglass. He did the work on Dave MacDonald's "00" Corvette racer and did the fiberglass panels for Andy Granatelli's first turbine car that almost won Indy in 1967.

Jim,
Great photos!!

Re: POST OLD PICTURES of CORVETTES HERE - NOSTALGIA

Jim, thanks for posting the pictures from Nat's catalog. ($60 for a mag!! Outrageous!!) I was at the book signing as well. It was quite a day. At the time, Autobooks was owned by Chet Knox. He was an NCRS member going back to the '70s thru his company, American Fabrication in Burbank. Not sure when he left NCRS. Probably about the same time American Fabrication closed up shop. Thanks again.

My son found this photo on instagram. Appears to be somewhere in Suburbia circa mid-70s.
