I still remember being at Auburn IN back in 2004, at the Labor Day ACD Reunion. At the Kruse Auction Grounds on the edge of town, in the car corral stood a brand-new 1927 Chevrolet Coach (2-door sedan). By brand new, I mean the odometer showed but 6 miles, and the original title was exhibited, in the name of a small central Indiana Chevrolet dealer from back then; signed over to the new owner, who bought the car in 2003. The story behind it was that the dealer ordered that car in for a customer, but in true small-town fashion, the prospective buyer and the dealer had a falling out, and the dealer simply put the car in storage, refusing to sell it!

All it took to get the car looking showroom fresh was a wash and wax, new tires, fresh oil, water and gasoline, and of course, a new 6-volt battery--to me it was like looking at the content of a time capsule--that car was SHARP looking indeed!
