Vanderbilt Cup Races

This is it for me, It’s a transport can for gas or oil, because the GRCO means Gulf Refining Company. I might be wrong on this, but I’ll say 52 years old, Now for the B10, this is my guess, the grade of oil or gas. Well I took a crack at it this time anyway

Guess what? I think I got what the GRCO is, it’s Gulf Refining Company, so that means it’s not milk and it’s a screw to. I’ll be back with more.

What other experiences can you have ,trying to preserve history, you top them all, it never ends with you, every time you do something you make history. I guess that’s why you’re a historian.

Most of you probably know about the gathering of all kinds of cars, trucks and motorcycles on Sundays at Oak Beach. It’s non stop from early morning, like maybe 7am or earlier till after 10. I arrive about 8:30 and it’s hard to find a place to park as a spectator, also for a show car, but there’s always cars leaving, I leave about 9:45 and they are still coming

The car looks just beautiful, Howard. You were missed by many yesterday on the grounds of the Vanderbilt. The day was gorgeous, as were the automobiles appearing for all to see and enjoy. I was informed that you and the Chrysler had an engagement and honor at another event outside of NY state. I hope you had a great day there, and I’m looking forward to seeing you and the reborn Chrysler soon.
Congrats again on the completion of the project. - Ernie
