Thanks Pete.
I was presently surprised on your WW Wallwork Fargo Inc. dealer article. Most to date have been larger volume high profile dealers. Outside of me, I bet few other Shelby enthusiasts Have ever heard of WW Wallwork Fargo Inc before. Pete, coincidence you included 02267 in the article and released this week? Or because you knew that I took possession of 02267 34 year ago this week? Either way thank you! So according to the info in the article 02267 could be the last Shelby WW Wallwork ever sold new. 02267 left A.O. Smith on 6-6-68 and was sold by WW Wallwork 5 months later on 11-6-68 to Donald Mutschler of Wimbledon, ND. How ironic would have that been if 02267 would have been a white car. A while back Pete gifted me an/the? WW Wallwork emblem as seen in the article ( thanks again ). 02267 was fairly original when I purchased it and there was no evidence that an emblem like this was ever install on it, but it's a keeper. Great article!

Thank you Rodney, I think it was a coincidence 😉
Glad it worked out. I have a little tweaking to do in the coming days, but you are probably right on your KR being the last out the door.
Galpin update. Bert Boeckmann died earlier this year - the dealership will continue in the family since most of his kids, nephews & neices already work there https://www.sfvbj.com/featured/valley-legend-bert-boeckmann-leaves-vacuum/
The original Cobra Owners Club of America met there until the early 1990s when they basically quit having monthly meetings and just host 2 Willow Springs events a year.
Thanks for the Cleveland Foundry page. My mom's brother worked there from when it opened in 1952 until the late 80s when he retired as a V.P. He passed away in 2008 and I always regret not picking his brain about special projects that came through the door.

If all goes as planed 02267 will be at SAAC 48. I will need an early start as it will be a grueling 75 mile 1 1/2 hour drive for me ( maybe 1 3/4 hour pulling trailer ). I know poor me.
Hope to see you there!
Pete
Yep I will see you there unless things go south at that damn PA border crossing!
