"I was looking for some help locating the owner of a 1953 corvette #043. I found some information as to the owner of this car but could use some further assistance. According to a corvette registry, the car was last owned by a Thomas Gavin of LeSueur, MN. The reason for the interest in this car is that my father was the first/original owner in 1954. After his passing, I came across the original bill of sale from the NJ dealer where he purchased it. It lists the Vin number, engine number, etc.
If you are familiar with this car and /or the owner, please forward my information to them as I would love to share the Bill of Sale as well as some old photos of this car.
