Dave,

The fragmented information states that >

James A. Thomas and Milton E. Updyke

Ordered their BO29 thru >

Peo Motor Sales
R.D. 2 ~ Route 220
Tyrone, Pennsylvania

I have the BO29 {Vin #} for the Barracuda {Automatic}

Peo Motor Sales was a 'top notch' dealership, who was awarded
the 1968 Quality Dealer Award.

The BO29 order was approved by Chrysler-Plymouth's Assistant Regional Manager > W. Robert Crawford.
