Default original owner of 78 TA in PA.

I was just curious if I could find any info as to who the original owner of my car was. It's a 78 black trans am originally sold in Reading PA. But I found a service sticker in the door jam from a Wilson Bros. Gulf service station at 111 W. Bridge St. Morrisville PA. Any information would be appreciated

I looked on google maps and the business seems to be gone, but I may try it anyway just to see what happens. You never know!

I called the shop and talked to the owner who once had the Gulf service center. He could not remember the car. But he did say it would had to have been in the eighties when it was serviced. He seemed like a good guy and I think a little interested to. Thanks for your input and the phone number to the shop.

Any evidence of "Nancy" painted in gold, fine cursive lettering on the passenger side door above the handle?

It appears the door has at one point had a paint touch up. Do you have anything else that may be unique to the car.

You can do a title search with Pendot, cost a few dollars.I did this on my Corvette a few years ago. A knowledgeable tag place would be able to summit the required paper work. Good Luck Tom

Are you guys still looking for the original owner of this car? I might know who it is. I have talked to him about our cars but didnot ask about the 78. I will ask him the next time I speak to him. If its not him, He will know who it was.
