Roy Braatz passed away, almost a month ago in Hawaii, at his Daughters house.... His Memorial was Mar 19th, 2019 in Hawaii....
He was an Outstanding Corvette Enthusiast, especially the 1955.... He was very generous in passing on Info about the C1 Corvettes to
anyone who was interested... May he Rest In Peace.
P.S. You can check his Facebook Page, for any info...

I am sorry to hear this. I enjoyed Roy and his comments on the forum. He was an early Corvette pioneer and loved his C1 car.

Rest is peace Roy.
He was one of the most knowledgeable 53-55 Corvette enthusiasts that
I have ever met.
