Hello I built a 1965 Impala show cars in 1967 Pearl White lived in southern calif sold it in 1969 to Bob Schoonhoven Looking for information about the car my personal email [email protected] Thank You Bob Huffman
Last I heard from the Car was that it is in the collection of Blackie. These photos where taken in 2009.
Bob, I been a fan of your car since I saw it in Rod&Custom . I like that Harry Bradley inspired the design becauce it looks like one of his drawings back then. Customizing at its best for the late sixties! I hope you can get it back and do something with it.
Bob shared these photos with me... before... Rod & Custom feature Then he saw these Harry Bradley designs... and fell in love with them.
Oh ., so it was THAT 65 Chevy to start with! It would help if I would pay attention to the names of people who own the cars sometimes, lol. That just made my day Rik. I know I have looked at the Chevy Show article at least a thousand times now and didn't put 2 and 2 together! I'm saving these pics.
Thank You I was great to find my old 65 Looking forward to the trip to Calif It was great to young in the 60s Bob Huffman
I love the before pics, thanks for getting them for Rik ! I am the same year as the car so I remember it more from the 70's ,I had some older magazines with it as well, glad to know its still out there !!
Does anyone have any info how much the Chevy was chopped? Looks like the windshiels and rear window are original size? Thank You!
It is chopped in the photo above. The rear 3/4 quarters view. It had been in the Okland Roadster show in the last few years.
Yes, sorry about that. It’s not yet chopped in the pictures of this thread, the chopping came later. https://images.app.goo.gl/KTjSiD8BqmaszEtM9
so, it has been 10 years since @Bob Huffman has logged in here, I wonder if he ever got to go and see his car. Did he get to buy it back? so many questions....
It's crazy what you can find on the internet. "Huff's Wholesale Family Owned Since 1945 Clipper & Blades Sales Clipper Repair and Sharpening www.clipperservice.com 660-434-5535 108 N McCoy, Knox City (MO), 63446, United States" then ... "The first Sale of 2022 will be Saturday, Feb. 19th at 10am. This personal property auction will be on-site at the business of Bob and Karen Huffman at 108 North McCoy, Knox City, MO. A full listing and more information can be viewed on our website www.hammondwatsonauctionservice.com or auctionzip.com Below are some of the 1984 GMC Dually that will be on the sale. Hope to see you Saturday, Feb. 19th" Due to the fact that the auction has already taken place, I was unable to find an item list for this auction. If you go to the clipper service website, it appears that Bob can be reached by calling ___ ______ so it sounds like he (if this is the correct person) is still with us Who knows, maybe the '65 was sold at auction earlier this year, maybe it's tucked away in the back of his shop, or maybe he never bought it back ... stay tuned for more useless information based on nothing ... Edit: Looks like he had (as of 2015) a '66 Chevelle and a primered/project '55 Nomad.
