Picture from the Ed Teske file

E.W. Rundell, Manager of Chevrolet's St. Louis Assembly Plant, explains some of the unique features of the Corvette Engine to Richard Wolf, of Detroit, President of the NCCC, as E.T. Teske, left, General Superintendent of the Corvette Plant, looks on. Over 200 delegates representing Corvette Clubs from all parts of the country attended the first NCCC's first annual convention which was held in St Louis June 23, 24, and 25, 1961.

Body drop 1961 *NM*

Re: Body drop 1961

Bill,

Good to see some more of those pictures.

I wonder how many people noticed the type of padding that they where using for the body cradle?

Colored Hard Top headliner on the bottom lift ledges and floor carpet on the lift arms.

The "old" hard top liners where also used on the line type desktops.

I like seeing both pictures as I look for little items that you do not normally see in books. Like the washers under the wing nuts of the secondary ignition in the first picture.

Would you know of someone who would be willing to do some research for me downtown at the Public Library? If so drop me an e-mail.

Re: Body drop 1961

Look at those beautiful engine markings (representing the job number I suppose)...

greetings,
