Corvette owner by happenstance
Happened to come across a 1956 Corvette originally sold by my grandfathers car dealership, Paul Luehrs Chevrolet, in May of 1956. Fortunate enough to be the new owner of this beauty.

Thanks.... I am not sure what I am more excited about - the originality, low miles and documented history (build sheet, sales invoice, gas/mileage records) or the fact that my Grandfathers autograph is on all of the original dealer paperwork!

How cool to have a car originally sold by your grandfather!
I agree with you - having your grandfather's autograph on all the sales paperwork adds to your pride of ownership.
