This car has been local for most of it's life.
The original owner of the car, Delwin Meyer, had the car for only 4 months before he was called to military service. He brought the car back to Rapp Chevrolet to sell.
The next owner, Dave Patton, still lives about six miles from my parents farm. The car was known to be one of the fastest in the area. He sold the car in 1974?
The third owner was Ron Boge. He was a college student here, home town of Boise Idaho. I bought the car from him in late 1978.
I did not know how long of a history I had with the car until a couple of months ago. I was at an auction and was talking with Leland Papik. He was a mechanic at Rapp Chevrolet back then and told me he remembers the car when it came in on the transporter and he serviced it for delivery. He is friends with Dave Patton and when the car came back to be resold he let Dave know about it. There is a county asphalt road that was just widened and repaved in the late 60s a mile north of the farm. Leland was telling about him and Dave and a few others that would meet there and race. So one the cars I would hear some nights racing with open headers when I was 12 years old would someday become mine.
