Does the BCA, or it's chapters keep a registry of member's cars? I'm trying to trace the history of a '65 GS 4 speed 'vert, Verde Green, from the Allentown, Pa area.
Walt, They publish a member's directory each year, which lists all members by state, and members can submit the year and first 5 digits of the VIN of any cars they own and that info is included if they want it to be. It would only include cars currently owned by members. To find out if someone in PA used to own a car, you would probably have to find someone who has saved the old directory's? Or maybe if you contacted the PA chapter directly they may be able to help? Here is their website. http://www.buickclub.org/
Walt, This guy owns the 65 GS Registry, he took over when Steve Schuman passed away. Steve started it sometime back in the 80s. I'm not sure if he can help, but its worth a shot. http://clubs.hemmings.com/frameset.cfm?club=skylark65gsreg Mark
Thanks Guys! I already got a PM from the Pa director, and contacted the '65 registry! I didn't even know there was a '65 GS registry... There were some photocopied pages in the car, including a 5 page '65 GS directory which looks to have been issued around 1988. I thought it was from the BCA, but now I'd say it's from the '65 registry.....anyone have a later edition which includes a 4467 verde green 4 speed convertible in PA? The car's more likely to be in the registry than the BCA directory...
Walt, I'll check my 65 GS registry copies when I get home. Steve sent me a photocopied list in 1991 or 92. I re-registered with the current 65 registry, but he never sent me an updated list. Mark
Walt,i dont know if this buick registry might help you? http://www.buickbombsight.org/regframe.html Thanks
Thanks guys! It looks like this car has been in the area for some time. Here's the service sticker that was still in the door jamb. I wish I could peel this one off without destroying it to see what's underneath! There is still a Buick dealer at this address!... I'll have to pay them a visit.
