Is it just me, or is anyone else thinking this prom car needs to be found?

The owner died a dozen years ago, Mr. Russell Raines in Sunny Hills, Fullerton, CA. It was a silver 914, must have been about a 72 or 73 I think, anyone?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) So your neighbor was a Fullerton 914 owner! I was thinking it was up there. I have friends from Sunny Hills HS - but I was born in Pittsburgh PA in the rural edge (then) surrounded by farms, then in `63 we drove out on old 66 for Dad's new job, & I was in San Diego from grades 6-12 (University HS `70) - & then to college in LA, HB & now Orange. Back then the drive up from SD to visit our Grandparents in Santa Ana was 4 hours each way on 101/PCH thru every town & stop light, with AG all the way up - including the formerly expansive flower fields! Orange was all AG & groves just near to us, back when my wife bought the house here in 68 (prior marriage) - but by the time we met & had kids in the 80's, it was all city. At least we're next to the Old Towne district in a 1921 Craftsman, & the folks are mostly "small town friendly" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Well - except for the crazy & spoiled Chapman U kids inundating our neighborhoods lately! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I get back to NE Oklahoma a few times a year to visit Curt/cabinetmaker on here, & my Cherokee buddies, & the "real unmolested country" myself - & just for the sanity!

If they had any kids that you knew, then you might be able to google for them, to ask where it went next. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) You also might be able to do a VIN search with DMV to see if it's registered to anybody, or see if Donna Leek in Grass Valley can trace it for you (she's ex-DMV & does registration/DMV services). http://dmvgal.blogspot.com/ Wouldn't that be a hoot-n-a-half to find it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) PS - the Autochecks, CarFax, etc. won't do any good, because of the old school shorter & non-standardized VINs. PSS - I'll try to ask around at some of our PCA-OCR events with some of our longstanding members, to see if they knew him &/or where his 914 went. I don't know him since I've only been a PCA member since `09, because I was too busy playing rugby 70-96 to mess around in car clubs! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
