    1953 #91

    I am restoring a 54 from the former Harrah collection. There is still a museum in Reno that has all of the documents from Harrah. I requested information on my 54 and in it they sent me a copy of the bill of sale from the dealer for 1953 #91. Anyone know the owner of #91, its a very interesting document.

    The last time I was in the museum in Reno they still had the "John Wayne 1953" on display. I don't remember the serial number but perhaps it is 91. If not, I hope you hear from the owner.

        John Wayne owned 53 #51 I believe.

          A memory side travel in my brain calls out that #91 was owned by either Sam Folz or John A. of NCRS.

            C1 Regisrty indicates that Sam Folz was the owner of this car.

                15-20 years back I was a volunteer at the museum and was in charge of maintaining John Wayne's 53. Donated some parts too to make it more correct. Don't recall the VIN number though.

                  This is from the Oct/Nov 1976 Corvette News article titled: The NCRS and how it grew. Sam Folz is interviewed for the article.

                    Bill Mercurio owns 1953 #091. I have contacted him about the paperwork you possess. He would very much wish to speak with you.

                    The Bill of sale, if a dealership invoice should be from C.W. Kruse & sons Chevrolet in Schoolcraft MI.

                        Hi Brett, I made a few calls and left a message with no response. I did mail the information last week.

                          Great to hear. It's nice to see these things come to meet.

                          You have my deepest respect for reuniting the paperwork with the car.

                          Brett!!
