Hi from Nat’l. Chevy, I hope the New Year has started out well for everyone. We had a lot of snow just before Christmas (17” one day and 4” a couple of days later), so for a few days things were pretty messy with a lot of roads unusable. Many are still narrow as plows left snow where cars were parked and there is no place to put the snow. Cold temperatures followed as usual, so there has been little thawing and road salt doesn’t work in cold weather. It has gotten better, but with it only being January, we’ll still be getting more snow. The snow banks will still be melting in May. The tooling has been completed for the glass track rubber, so they should be available soon. Call Nat’l. Chevy if you need them – hopefully the rubber seal will be here very soon. I could use more pictures or articles for the newsletter. I appreciate what you’ve sent, but always need more. Check out the monthly specials and we also have some glass bowl fuel pumps available for sale if you are interested. Part of the catalog has been sent to the printer for typesetting and we will be sending more to them soon. We still have current catalogs if you need them. ‘Til next time......

Sir,

Thank you for the catalog. Now I can finish the little things that will finish the interior of the car. The car is all original down to the motor. I take the car to all the local car shows in the Bay areas car meetings. I am 72 years old and people of my age love to see an original car. My grandkids enjoy riding around in the car.

Thank youLes FariasSan Pablo, CA

Dear N.C.A.

Here are some picgtures of our 1951 Chev. It has a 235 six with a split exhaust manifold and three on the tree. We bought it in the fall of 2005. The body and engine were done. We added an exhaust system, head-light visors, door handle protectors and lowered it two and one-half inches. All parts are from N.C.A.

Flames were added in 2009 by Heritage Auto Body of Coon Rapids, Minn. The interior is okay, but that is the next project. Thanks for all your magazines, interesting pic-tures and articles. See you at Back to the 50’s next year!
