Original hemi dart information

Mark J,
Yes the shipping information will be the key to the missing puzzle. Both incoming cars, and out-going. It's been like pulling teeth to get the info, but I will persist. What I wouldn't do to get a peak at the Bill of Lading
paperwork. I have to go through an old union supervisor from Anchor Motor Freight, who handled shipping at GM in Tarrytown, New York.
You know union bosses

You must say please...all the time.
I will continue to work on it.

HEMIDARTDAVE, You are correct, I guess I missed a shift their. Yes several prominent dealerships must have gotten a secondary Hemi S/S
car. What I meant to say, was that in the Connecticut area, I wouldn't think that a single dealership got multiple cars. The northeast area
(eastern-Connecticut, Massachussets, New Hampshire, Rhode Island
and southern-Maine) only had (2) solid drag strips to choose from.
Connecticut Dragway, East Haddam, CT and New England Dragway,
Epping, New Hampshire. Also, a third, Orange Dragstrip, Fitchburg,
Mass.(closed in 1970). It appears that (5) original Darts ended up in the northeast; Bill Flynn, New Haven, CT
Joe Patelli, Springfield, Mass.
Gene O'Neill, Worcester, Mass.
Bob Ramstrom, Worcester, Mass.
Chick Brignolo, Norton, Mass.
