Imagine my surprise when I spotted Bob Johnson's Chevelle at the Good Guys Summer Nationals in Pleasanton in June of 2006. Some of you may not have known Bob. He passed away a while back. Bob was one of the first Chevelle Club members. He was Club Historian and came to most of the club functions with his wife, Diane, or his Granddaughter. This was a guy who knew and loved Chevelles. His first test drive as a kid was the 1964 Chevelle Malibu SS at the Chevy dealer in Fremont, the city where many of the Chevelles were built. Bob's first car was a 66 Chevelle Malibu. His second car was a 67 Chevelle. Like I said, this was a man who loved Chevelles. Fast forward to 1986. Bob was working on a residential electrical job in Santa Clara when he saw a 1964 convertible sitting in the back yard with two flat tires. He purchased the car, fixed the two flat tires and drove the car home. After a great deal of restoration, Bob and the '64 were seen everywhere.

After his passing members were often heard asking "what ever happened to Bob Johnson's car? I sure hope it went to a good home. He really loved that car".
