Because Vic, if ya forgot, this is For Barn, not chebby barn, this was discused long ago and decided that the other makes had to find their own site.

Roach is afraid that we will find out there are other makes of cars besides Ford.

About 1960, I was told of the whereabouts of one of those early Chevrolet V8s. It was on a farm in central West Virginia. The man who knew about it, lived there. Of course, I never checked it out. It probably would have been given to me. I hope it was saved !
