VEHICLE HISTORY/ PROJECT STATUS: | pVehicle was originallypurchased January 9, 1954 by Franklin A. Arndt and Anna H. Arndt of Milton, PA. The selling dealershi was Buffalo Valley Motor &am Equipment Company, located at 23 N. 9th Street in Lewisburg, PA. The salesman was Charles R. Wilson. pI purchased the vehicle from Connors Motorcar Company of West Chester, PA in September of 21. They purchased the car on an open title from Jeffrey Bennington of Reading, PA. ThePA State Inspection Sticker on the car is from 1981-1982 which leads me to believe that it hadn't been on the road since thenand thereare Oil Change Service Stickers in the door jambs which date to 1962. I'm not sure of the ownershi beyond that information. | ||||
