1950 - 1959 - Car was inherited from the lady school teacher, his aunt, by Ed Underhill, an insurance man from Charleston, WV. I remember noticing this car, on the streets, as a high-schooler.

1959 - 1967 - Car was owned by David Giltinan, a wholesale grocery business owner and old car enthuisist, in Charleston, WV.

1967 - 2012 - Car is owned by me. It is now in Daytona Beach, Fl.

Mike,
This is great! But I bet your `34 has a short owner history as well. You did everything right in your car collection. When you got busy raising your sons or making a living, you let the cars sit instead of parting with them. I had some fine old cars too, but when my interest waned I sold them and moved on to another hobby, like airplanes.

I was just looking thru Hemmings and thinking I should advertise my `35 Cabriolet for a `39 Coupe. But then I think about the old `35. I have had it apart. I know what it is. It does everything I ask of it. I should be more like you...

Bud
