So any guess as to how many of these model D's out there yet to be discovered in somebody's barn way out yonder? If I could talk some farmer out of one for a couple thousand...

There are 20 known Model D's, plus about 6-8 spare V-8 engines arounds, but I bet there are a few more left to be discovered that are just sitting in long time storage in the back garage of a Chevy dealer somewhere? This type of owner doesn't tend to belong to the VCCA or any national club - so these cars are harder to track down.

Of course there is the rumor I hear every year at a the Portland Swapmeet of a Model D out in the Oregon bush - who knows?

No suprise Ray, but Portland is much larger than Marysville where you can see the whole town. Can you direct me to the locale with in the great metropolis

The Portland Swap Meet is held at the very north end of the city, by the Columbia River at the Expo Center. Sorry, but I don't know the exit number.

Take exit 306B. Park as soon as you find a spot. The busses will run continuously during the meet. Bus is free.
