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.
Enjoy while you can.

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.
