NOTICE - Dallas Area Classic Chevys Message Board Will Soon Be Deactivated

[David Graves]

Jim and Jean Sellstrom's '55 Bel Air 4dr Sedan was our club pick at the Lone Star event this year in Austin, there is a great story that goes with this most unique and special car, look for a complete Feature Car article on our pick in the June 'Classic Heartbeat' newsletter!



and here is a note the club received from the Sellstrom's regarding their award ....

Dear Dallas Classic Chevy Club Members,

Jim and I wish to thank you all most sincerely for the
honor of your bestowing your Club Award at the Lone
Star XXV, on our Unrestored - Original 1955 Coral and
Shadow Gray "BelAir" Chevy in Round Rock, Texas this
weekend - May 4-6, 2007. The trophy is most
attractive, and we are genuinely appreciative of your
club's "selection". At the Lone Star this year, it
seemed more people were interested in our Unrestored
car than ever before... likely because these "unique"
unrestored cars are getting more and more rare and are
seen less and less at Car Shows. Several people went
over our car with a "fine toothed" comb - looking at
EVERY detail, it seemed...one fellow acted like it was
some sort of "genuine art object"!!

We enjoyed having all you fine folks from the Dallas
area at the Lone Star XXV Car Show. You all are a
very friendly and a most gracious group of car lovers.
It was lots of fun talking to you nice people. We hope
that you all had an enjoyable couple of days in Round
Rock, Texas and returned safely to your homes.

Hopefully, we will meet you again at some car show in
the future .. however, as Jim is now 80 years - and, I
am soon 77 years of age... we might not be showing
our car so many more times...it is LOTS of work, as
you well know.

Once more, please accept our thanks for your club's
selection of our 1955 "BelAir" to receive your Club
trophy at Lone Star XXV. Both of us were very
pleased..and, we will treasure it always. This is
only our 2nd Club Award..the first one was at a Lone
Star in Victoria, Texas from the San Antonio Classic
Chevy Club.

Many thanks!!

Jim and Jim Sellstrom
Austin, Texas
