Hey guys, this may be a needle in a haystack for one of you from Virgina so I thought I would post it up. This is an auction for a old style license frame : E.J. Watt Chevrolet out of South Boston

So if you are from Virginia or your car is maybe this is what you have been searching for :
good luck!

I'm looking for a Colonial Chevrolet and Tamson Chevrolet if anybody can help? Both were supercar stores!!
-
The original owner of my 69 Z/28 bought it new at Wilkins Chevrolet, Norfolk VA then went down the street a year later to Colonial to purchase a new 70 Yenko Deuce. Must have been a cool place to car shop back in the day. He sent me polaroid's of both cars.
-
with Norfolk being a navy town, I'm betting that your 'original owner' was a Navy man in '69-70, Len! :) I was in the USAF during those years, stationed at Keesler AFB, MS, and our hobby shop was like a 'Muscle Car Gathering' every weekend when it was open during those years. We didn't have or make very much money, but be assured we spent it ALL on muscle cars.. :)
PS. Does your car still have the front guards on it, Len? Mine doesn't have, but I have NOS ones I intended to install, but now I'm having second thoughts. Do you like them?
-
Gary, you are right he was a Navy man stationed aboard the USS Muliphen. He had just returned from a tour of Viet Nam when he purchased the Z.
No, the front guards are not there now. Its funny you should mention them, after I posted these pictures I was asking myself that very question. I don't think I really care for them although I'm sure I will put them back on when I do the frame off someday.
