I meant to post this in here hours ago, and forgot. But it's not too late to do some celebrating! Today is William C. Durant's Birthday. Yessirree, he was born December 8, 1861. So it's not just ANY Birthday, but his 150th. The Founder of General Motors (1908), then separately Chevrolet Motor Company (1911), and a great American in many ways. A true Giant in the early automobile industry. Whoever does our Calendar, this should be on it. I did have a beer (on purpose - I don't usually) with dinner, and toasted his memory. ![[Linked Image from i1122.photobucket.com]](http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l529/chevyguru/Durant.jpg) Billy Durant 1861 - 1947

Looks good for being 150 Years Old......ED
I was only wrong one time in my life so far. But that time I was right, and only thought I was wrong....ED

Happy Birthday, Billy!! Thanks for starting something great. If not for you, I'd probably be driving a Dodge!! (echhhhhhh.)
By the way, how do you pronounce your middle name? (Is it "craypoe?")
