1955 copper

I would like to know that some time ago through on E-Bay Noland offered his web sight for $29.00 which I paid in papal and never could get into the sight saying it was under development. I called Noland and he said that the you Tobey would check into it . So what happened ? Is the $29.00 gone.

I hope things turn out with this and Noland. I really liked the video.

You did not answer, 1955 copper's question.

RoadKing96

Seems to me, besides an answer to he previous question, that 1955 copper should also receive some money back.

As I understand.....it was previously said that the cost for access was to be $19.53. If 1955 copper paid $29.......well you can do the math.

Am I the only one bothered by the user ID? I mean, using "Noland Adams" and it being Noland writing is one thing. To have "Noland Adams" and it being someone else writing is another.

I've be much more comfortable if it was "Noland Adams Archive" or "Noland Adams Library" or such that shows CLEARLY this is not Noland himself but a corporation.

jim lockwood

Nope. You aren't the only one.

Funny thing, about a week ago there was a post titled "Nolan Adams Here", which I believe used the same user ID, then claiming to actually be Nolan. I forget if it was here, or in the "Factory Correct Resto" section, but shortly after appearing, it disappeared.

After looking at the youtube link, I hope that the quality of the images on the web site are better than on the youtube sample. They all appeared to be slightly fuzzy. Hopefully this is just be a result of the transfer to youtube, and not indicative of the transfer quality found on the web site.

I apologize 1955Copper for the delay in gaining access to NolandAdams.com. We have recently opened the doors to the public a few weeks ago.

Noland and I only collected a small handful of pre-subscribers and held back promoting once we discovered some additional work that needed to be completed so the website would function properly.

Your one year subscription will not begin until we have you all set up and I would like to do that today. When I requested your information via PM it was my intention to give you access and refund your all your money, via paypal in hopes to redeem the situation in regards to the delay in getting your membership set up.

I look forward to taking care of this for you and can do so as soon as I can confirm your information. I am here to make it easy, fair and simple. Plus give you access to Noland's collection today.

Thank you for this question/comment as it is a valid one. Noland asked me to do it this way, because it is his intention to post letters, take questions and share special stories about his life with forum members.

Soon Noland will be posting another letter here on the forum. Shortly there-after he has a story prepared with some pictures to post, but the postings will be his postings and you will know because it will say from the Desk of Noland. I have been assigned the task of managing his forum account. I will find out from the CF moderator if the name can be changed to NolandAdams.com if it more pleasing. Thank you for the post!

Yes, you did see a letter that was actually from Noland last week (the moderator took off because he was not a supporting vendor at that time). As you can see, we are interested in finding out what our customers are saying and paid the fee to become a CF supporting vendor.

Noland has prepared another letter that I will be posting for him soon. He is also excited about sharing stories about his life and experiences too... so keep an eye out!

You are correct about the slightly fuzzy quality of the photos being a result of the transfer on youtube. I can assure you that once you gain access inside NolandAdams.com to see the actual scans, you will be pleased.

Thanks for the post!

SILENT BOB

Not to throw cold water on this effort to get a ton of historical material out to interested folks, BUT there is a question that has not been asked. That is - who owns the original GM material?

I understand that Noland had access to a huge quantity of GM files and photos, but did GM assign over to him the rights (copyrights and Trade Mark) to the material for release to the public?

I know he has published a number of books with some of this material, but it appears that this latest effort goes well beyond previous work.

It is hard to believe that GM is allowing the sale of access to this material without getting a fee for its use. They charge $$ for copies of GM photos on their web site.

Chet Atkins?

FYI: The quality of the scans in the YouTube presentation are not equal to the quality of scans you will find on the actual website...we had to upload a large wav. file and lost some of the clarity but I am glad you like the video.... wait till you really see Noland's collection of photos on the website.

Thanks for your post!

Theres been too much controversy for me to just "sign up". I will wait until the facts come out about this operation.

And you know when a vette is a 427 because the badge says 427. Sorry. Too cynical?
