He has it, but he was not the original owner, either.

There is an old gentleman here on the East side of Cleveland that is the original owner of a '54. Name escapes me for the moment but it will come to me. He often drives his car in Chagrin Falls.

E.J.,
We have a New Mexico chapter member in Santa Fe who bought his '56 new. He drives it often. Bill

Yup, also know the guy who 1954 purchased the 54 new in Lynn, MA see him around at local car shows still. So looks like we need an original 53 owner.

Re: longest original owner?

To make this fair, for anyone other than C-1 owners, how about adding the number of years owned to the owners age, i.e. as an example: I've owned my C-2 since new in 1963 (that's 46 years and 4 months, for those of you in Rio Linda) plus I am 70 years and 4 months old. Add just the years 46 plus 70 which equals 116 years. Otherwise, you fellows might just as well have your own game on your own TDB, right?
