You could say Bill Jordan knows his '51 Bel Air. He knows it was
built on June 25, 1951; he knows it came from Wallace Chevrolet
in Bellingham, Washington; he even knows its purchase order
number (No. 6-1141, in case you must know).  He also knows a lot
of the stuff that paperwork won't tell, like who put the Pontiac
window trim on it. It's because it's more than a car; it's
family. He's known it most of his and the car's life; his uncle,
Wayne Austin, signed that purchase order 60 years ago. "It was
used as a daily driver by my aunt and two uncles until it was
put into storage in the '70s," Bill says. In fact, the car
remained behind locked doors in a shed until Bill got a bug and
dragged it out on Aug. 9, 2006. "It wasn't driveable but it was
in good condition," he adds.  But Bill says he wanted more than
good. As he explained, an heirloom should be great. In his
estimation, that required a professional touch. He turned the
car over to Clyde "CB" Bullo at Moslander's Rod and Custom in
Monroe, Washington.  M
