       Long Wait for a 1931 Chevrolet Landau Phaeton

We first saw this 31 Chev at the Third Annual Northwest VCCA Meet in Centralia in 1971.  We were not VCCA members at this time but through exchange club newsletters that we received at this time with Gerri being Editor of the local Olympic Vintage Auto Club newsletter, we knew about the Northwest Meets.   We went to Centralia to look at the Chevrolets in the early 70's several times. Why we did not join the VCCA at time is still a mystery to me as we certainly had an interest in the Chevrolets but were not driving any vintage Chevs at this time. (We were driving Chevrolet's cousins at this time, vintage Cadillacs and GMCs.)  After seeing this Landau Phaeton in 1971 at Centralia, I told Gerri that we were going to own that car someday.       (cont. on  p. 5)
