Wanted: info on old issues of blue Flame Special and Good Times pubs

[Mike E.]

Specifically;
1) what issues of Blue Flame Special were never issued? Are volume 1 and 2:1 the same format as the rest? How many member roster issues did Thiebaud produce? Anything besides 1970 through 1974?
2) are early Good Times a mimeographed format? Any info on the early ones would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Mike, I can't speak to Volume 1 as mine are copies; 2-1 is the same format as later; Vol 7 #4 is apparently the last; my rosters are from 1969 thru a 1976-77 version; not bitten (yet) by the Good Times bug. Winter is coming (we hope).

Loren, We aren't nearly as eager for winter! Do you have 3:3, 7:1, 7:2, 7:3? I have heard that he skipped some issues? Any truth to that?

I have those 4 issues, yes. 60 days ago or so, there were a # of issues for sale on e-bay for $60 or $80 as a group.

There was no V1 N4 Blue Flame Special printed. There were 3 issues only. These were blue mimeographed sheets of paper, stapled together. The V1N1 and V1N2 issues I have are small, about 8" x 8". The V1N3 is "full" 8.5" x 11" in size. They did not resemble the BFS magazine format, which began with V2N1. The Vol 1 issues were called Vintage Corvette Club of America Newsletter............... not BFS.

Earliest roster I have is 1969. I also have 70/71, 71/72, 73, 74, 75, and 76/77.

The early Good Times were simply called Classic Corvette Club of America Newsletter. The V1 and early V2 issues I have are blue mimeographed. Some of the later ones appear black.

The first issue actually called "Good Times" was V3 N2. That was when John Amgwert took over the publishing duties.

V6 N2 was the final issue.

I have rosters from Aug 72, Feb 73, Jan 74 and Jan 75.

Don't have any pictures handy on my computer. I'm leaving for Rhode Island early this AM. If I remember, I'll take some when I get back.

Chuck,
Thanks for the response. How can you take time off from managing that motel in Lakeland? I'll get in touch when you get back.

I have my "peeps" manage it for me. There are MANY Gongloff's in Florida.

JUST for you, Mike.

I'm missing V1 N3. Otherwise I would have a complete set. I also have a bunch of old rosters, some 8.5x11 papers stapled together, some small booklets.

I also have a bunch of Classified Ad mailings and letters from John Hutchins.

PS: Yes, the V1N4 is printed in a mirror image.
