History: There is no other place where the continuous ownership history of these cars can be documented and preserved but this registry. Most owners are interested in the history of their cars but, since there has not been a place to record and preserve it until now, too much of that information on these 60+ year old vehicles has been lost. Most of this information has to come from the personal knowledge of individual owners, thus the registry desires to record as much as can be known about the ownership history of each car. Therefore, in the text box on the right, please indicate as much as you know, similar to the example below:

Example: Purchased 12 April 1984; Previous owner: Richard A. Gray, Newpost, NC (1 Feb 80 - 12 Apr 84); Previous Owner: Carl E. Melvin, Kinston, NC (12 Sep 77 - 1 Feb 80); etc...
Please provide any history of the car as you know it (Names, Addresses, Periods of ownership - day/month/year, if possible) of as many previous owners as possible.
