I believe this is the widebody you mentioned:
I cannot stress your comment enough. Weldon is a great guy and eager to talk to anyone who's genuinely interested. He has likely forgotten more about Porsche than most will ever know. I try to spend as much time with him as I can when I visit because there will come a day when he is no longer with us and that knowledge will leave with him. |
Smitty, great pictures once again!
Yes, knew they were father and son, could never keep the names straight as unfortunately, I rarely get down to see them.. I saw them last at the Parade in Charlotte, NC.
Nice to hear that he still has several of the cars mentioned.. they were all pretty special as evidenced by the one pictured. I even got the paint number off that one for a project I was working on at the time!
Yes, Weldon is a wealth of knowledge and gladly shares his knowledge about these cars with others.. glad to hear he’s still doing well and enjoying g with his toys. Ahhh, but Cole is no slouch either.
Amazing collection of goodies.. thanks for sharing!
