I HAVE THE VIRGINA CAR TAGS THAT COME ON THE CAR WHEN IT WAS NEW

Hey JR, Is David Mowry the same dude that worked for H.C. here in town then moved to Johnson City about 20 years ago.  If it is I knew him well. He was restoring a '49 standard VW bug. I built the  25 hp engine  for that car ,but he had to sell it when his Ex. jerked a knot in his butt before he finished it.  I would love to have his E-mail address. I haven't talk to him in years.

Yes he used to work for H.C.  I think he quit around '89.  This car in the ad is Dave's car.  He and I were talking about you this morning.

That aint a bad price for A semiphore car at all. Is the rag top original or a graft? If it's original then that price is a steal.
