Looking for members help - Merollis Chev, Detroit

[Anthony P.]

Not sure if I'm allowed to post this here so I will remove it if I need to! Looking for any help from any clubs but mostly in the southeastern Michigan chapters! I'm looking to see if anybody can ask other members if the know of any one who owned a blue 66 427 390HP roadster before 1973 Vin # 194676S108764. I have owned since then 42years but can't seem to locate any of the previous owners, or documents.
I have put adds in metro and local papers with zero results, this is my last chance ditch effort, it was bought from Merollis Chevrolet on the upper east side of Detroit.

Thanks in Advance, Tony

Yes I have about two years ago! and Mr. Gould could not get me anything with his normal service, and he is the one who suggested putting ads in local newspapers and contacting some Michigan chapters.
Thanks Lief

Hi Tony,
Here's a picture member Ralph Spears sent to me and asked that I post for him.
I enlarged it some so it's become a bit blurry.
Some row of cars!!!
Good Luck as you continue your search for info.
Regards,
Alan

Have you tried Michigan DMV to see how far back their records go? Auto Ancestry may have already done this.

Yes the DMV doesn't go back far enough as I have owned for 42 years.

Good idea Thanks!

I live about 50 miles from Mancelona, and when we drive through there is a storage business (I believe) with the Wildfong name . certainly worth a try!! I did get a hit on a Fred Zatine 81 years old in Las Vegas. but I need to pay to get the info and I was at work looking so that is a no-no at work. Does anyone have a subscription for that service?

Thanks Again
