Good luck with the search

 

Hi there,
Well, wouldn't that be a trip if the Bird is the same Bird owned by Gary Niemie that is in the Peterson Museum. Now, how do I get a hold of Mr. Niemie?
Thanks to the kiwi for the awesome pics. Shaka, brah.

 

Addendum: Thanks to the Swede for the awesome pics as well.

 

Just to clarify, I don't have a beef with Jim or any of the other staffers that I know are here on the HAMB.
Also there is nuthin' wrong with the magazine that I recall. Its a personal thing.

OK this is way off topic for this thread so I'm sorry.

I have been looking through my old issues of R&C I have seen the article in question so between finals etc I will make an effort to find it.

Young lady if I find the article the issue is yours it probably won't help find the car but it would be a cool thing to have. I know that an aquaintence has an old Popular Hot Rodding (I think) that has an article that mentions my old man and I would sure like to own it.

 

Thanks for clearing that up, I think?

Apparently I just don't translate well in Kansas City, right Ryan & Grim?

 

About like the medeival (sp?) times. HAMBer Knights, on their traditional steeds, rescuing a damsel in distress.

Do we have a King Arthur?

Wanna step up and be Sir Lancelot (or Mistress Lancelot)?

 

Can I be Lady Guinevere?

Tiffany, find Watson and I PROMISE you he will know how to find Gary Neimo.....not niemie ya fruity kiwi!

Brandy

 

Again, thanks a lot.
The Damsel, definitely not in distress, though I'm happy, and super stoked that I'm getting closer to finding da T-Bird. Hell, I'll be glad if it is the one in the museum. At least it is in a safe place being preserved. That's all that matters, really, preserving da old school. Take care, people, stay tuned.

 

Let's see the picture you're gonna send to Winfield.

LMAO. Dude is still smooth after all these years...

 

Clarification: I'm not sending a picture of myself to Winfield. This is all about finding the 1958 Thunderbird scalloped by Watson. That's my focus. I have no interest in modeling on top of the hood of a car, UNLESS IT IS THE SAME HOOD MY MOM POSED ON IN 1958, and then I"ll gladly send that picture to anyone. Be on the look out for a 1958 Squarebird, hopefully still sporting a candle apple red/pearl custom paint job. Thanks ahead.

 

Can I be Lady Guinevere?

Brandy this is like the chat, you can be anything you wanna be

 

No Doubt about the "Cloned Square Birds" There are 3 of them on this page.
2 painted & one going in the booth. He probably did a bunch for customers during that time.

Tiff:
Old registrations are the way to go. =If this car is still in the system- either being currently registered or on a non-op,it can be traced to a current owner.
If you have a name of the person that it was sold to, do a google or people search. Anybody can be found. it just takes a lil time.

 

Yep, this wouldn't be a mystery if I knew the man's name. I'll look into the DMV search without a name, only make and model, and my mom's name.
Meanwhile, trying to find Larry Watson is bugga The guy's kinda reclusive it seems

 

I'm just trying to bring this thread to the forefront...

 

This thread caught my attention while cruising through older posts.... any updates??

 

Had a pretty swingin mom. Wonder if Watson put the moves on her?

 

Here are a couple Larry did.

 

I am curious too. I just sent T-Bird Huntress a private email to see if there is any news that can be posted, but it came back undeliverable...

 

If you do a search for "tiffany edwards" news reporter
there is some results that come up. I didn't have time to look through much but she listed a number of 808.938-8592 on one website. I've not been involved yet so I'm not up for calling her. If someone gets a hold of her or if its a bad number let me know and I'll take it off here...
