When I read this I could not believe it ! My grandfather was Walt Malcolm and he and his brother had Malcolm Bros Chevrolet in Belle Plaine. They owned the dealership until 1959. I had always wanted a car that they would have sold and I found a 1940 Chevrolet in Moline Il. It was amazing when I read your article ! A great story.
I always wished a had asked more questions of my grandfather. he died in 1976.

I still have the 1940 and enjoy driving it every summer ! We will need to meet up someday and compare our cars.
