Hello from Noland Adams
Hello forum friends!
For many months Tobey and I have been working on getting my collection of Corvette photographs and information on www.NolandAdams.com. For example, I have many photographs. As an author for Automobile Quarterly, I was permitted access to many photo files within General Motors. I asked for- and received- copies of thousand of photographs, mostly black and white. Years later I returned to the negative files, looking for photos I may have missed. Although GM has digitized (and thus saved) many photos, some negatives or prints are simply missing from their files. That means I may have the only 8 X 10 copies of many GM photos.
At this time I am identifying the photos and writing captions for them. There is valuable information here, like photos of the 1957 Corvette SS, the Corvette SS Mule, the Q Corvette roadster, and Bill Mitchell’s Stingray Racer, which are all closely related! Since there is no text with the photos, it takes a while to realize that there may be a gold mine of information hidden there.
While I work to get the information and photographs organized into a form that can be referenced on the website, I ask for your patience while it’s being developed. Frankly, we could move much faster if we had more funds, then we could hire some real pros and get the job done quickly instead of ordering an improvement when possible and paying them bit by bit. If you choose to support us with a subscription, we can convert everything into searchable data much faster.
I envision these categories, and maybe more:
Design
Motorama Road Show
Prototypes
Model Year Variations
Assembly Plant Photos and Information
Thanks, Noland Adams NCRS #4, SACC #1

Thank you for the welcoming! It is Noland's hope you enroll at his website www.nolandadams.com. Once inside, he is convinced you will be amazed with his collection of photographs. If you enroll now, you will be a founding member and help Noland reach the destination of converting his knowledge and collection of materials into a searchable database! He cannot do it without you! Plus you will be pleased with what you find inside! Thank you again for the welcoming and we are happy to be a part of the CorvetteForum.com community!

Noland would have NEVER used the term "gold mine". Tobey on the other hand, would. She scammed Gordon now Noland. Both men have had their life's work literally stolen from them and will never see a single penny from her empty promises.
There is a special place in hell for this black widow...

Hey HiJacker
Noland Adams is posting a video soon that you will Appreciate!
This person that posted just above, has obviously just created a fictitious UserID (look no personal ID info? Just joined?) just to blast me?
Corvette Enthusiasts:
There is a couple of guys that are out to destroy the efforts I have been putting forth in converting Gordon's and Noland's knowledge into searchable data. Which is a good idea don't you think? It will take time, and right now, as we speak, Gordon's website is undergoing a conversion to make the data FREE to it's members.
Mr. Killebrew agrees that making his knowledge free will increase memberships, and hopefully merit a decent advertising dollar, someday. The amount of people thus subscribed has forced a new look at the business model. Nobody is scamming. Somebody is (I am) just trying to get Mr. Killebrew and Mr. Adams paid finally for their efforts, even if it is taking longer than I had hoped. Noland Adams first book took him four additional years from his first deadline to complete.
The idea of building a search engine from the knowledge of these experts is a big idea, and for one person with no support, I am very proud of how far along I have brought the idea. For me, this project has nothing to even compare it to, except if you were trying to build Google all by yourself.
If there is anyone out there that would like to talk further about this, my phone number is 815-669-7780

The letter and the words are from Noland. "Gold mine" is his choice of words. Why wouldn't they be? Noland is currently and has been for years, restoring the original gold mining railroad in Shingle Springs, CA. He studies and has a secondary interest in the railroads/gold rush era of America. He resides in the town that Gold was first struck. The road leading to his house is called "Mother Lode Road"...He live's in the Gold Mine capital of America!
Questioning Noland's words (when they are actually his words) is just tactic to subvert Noland's progress.
Noland has requested (due to the badgering) for anyone to call him! Please call and ask him any question about these matter you wish! He is open to speaking with anyone in effort to wipe out any doubt one might have. Noland's #530-626-3232 (leave a message and he will call you back)

Not a scam? REALLY? How much money is Noland getting from this deal?? If my sources are correct, not much. The first $100,000.00 goes in YOUR pocket then after that Noland gets HALF!?? How in God's sake did he feel this was a good deal?? You would need to find 5000 guys to hand you their hard earned cash while Noland sits back and gets NOTHING for his work. If this site goes the way of the last one, you will be offering one cent memberships very soon.
Also, why is it that several posts around this forum state "Or you can call me direct:530-876-6642. Tobey Erhart" Yet, other places you state that phone # belongs to Noland and not you?
And it wasn't Gordon's 'idea' to make the other site free it was you.
Maybe everyone on here should chip in for Noland to hire a good lawyer and get his life's work back before it's too late.

Just to be clear here..... the person who created the user name of "Noland Adams" is not, never has been, and will never be the Noland Adams of Corvette fame.
CF forum member "Noland Adams" is the business name of Tobey Poulos Erhart.
There are many who believe TPE has scammed the real Noland Adams for the sole intention of enriching herself.
