I had the pleasure of dealing with Chic regularly.  We both have 37 LaSalle convertible coupes.  His was a basket case, I sent him many pictures of my assembled car to help him figure out how to put his together.  He made a lot of progress with it, it was coming together nicely.

I know he did not finish the car, the work slowed down last year when he had a major tumor removed from his back.  But he had a great attitude and kept very active searching for parts on the internet.

His widow told me the family plans to complete the restoration eventually.

Chic was a very nice car nut, always had a good joke and offers to help out.  He will be missed.  I am sorry he didn't finish the car, but I think  it kept him smiling up to the end...
