437 Actual miles
They ARE still out there somewhere! ! ! 1950 Chevrolet Club Coupe
437 original, actual miles, only 3 owners. Check out the dealer installed
"oil filter" , the rusty carb, and you can even see the spark plugs if they
need changed.
Purchased new by Mr. and Mrs. Jessie Trueblood of Modesto .
Shortly after purchasing this car, Mr. Trueblood took a day off to go
fishing. While waiting for the "big one" to bite he witnessed a woman
fall out of her boat. Mr. Trueblood jumped in to help only to fall victim
of a fatal heart attack. Mrs.. Trueblood returned the car home and
placed it in the garage for the next 12 years. The odometer reading
at that time (1962) was 413 miles.
Mrs. Trueblood lived next door to a used car lot owned by Mr. William
E. Wilson (now 81 years old). Mr. Wilson spoke with her frequently
and often told her he would like to buy the car for himself to keep.
In 1962 the time had come. Mrs. Trueblood told Mr. Wilson she needed
a car for her bookkeeper who didn't really care for the ol' Chevy and
would prefer a Rambler. No problem. Mr. Wilson went down to the
local Rambler dealer and bought a brand new one for $1,650.00
($100.00 over cost) and made the swap.
He then took the car home and parked it with 433 actual miles.
And there it sat for the next 45 years, occasionally being started and
moved in and out of the garage. In 2007 Mr. Wilson decided to sell
the car and started spreading the word around Modesto that the
ol' Chevy with 433 miles on it was for sale. Many had heard about
the car, but hardly anyone had ever laid eyes on it. In fact, according
to Mr. Wilson he believes he only showed the car to about 5 people
in 45 years. Word spread quickly about the car and soon a buyer
arrived ready and willing to pay the $60,000 asking price. When
Mr. Wilson told me the story of this car he complained heavily of
the "capital gains" tax he was required to pay and wished he had
never sold it. As of this writing, Mr. Wilson is still alive and well in
Modesto and can verify the miles and originality of this car. Simply
put,this is a true 100% factory original survivor (that includes the
air in the tires). This ol' Chevy now has 437 original miles and is
most likely the world's lowest mileage 1950 Chevy.
