Letter: Who cares about the Model T's!
Fred,
Who cares about the Model T’s.! (this week's historical Bluffton photo). Check out the 1958 Chevy Impala convertible (with top down) in front of Niswander’s newsstand. The color is Black Onyx. It has wide white wall tires, fender skirts and a Continental tire on the extended bumper.
I’ll bet this was Don Badertscher’s it was absolutely the coolest late1950’s car ever to cruise Main Street. Americian Graffiti eat your heart out. This was the real thing, it’s great to see that Chevy again.
Your brother, Rudi
