So I have been looking into the history of my 1974 kombi. So far I found it was bought from Riviera Motors in Portland, Oregon. It was sold to Ventures Unlimited Corp. It then went to somebody named Michael David Koster. This is where it gets interesting. I believe it was sold to Art Browe. I then found a guy in Lakewood who I worked with who knew Art and purchased it to tool around in. Then that guy sold it back to art or something of that kind. Anyway Art sold it to my neighbor and then I bought it in 03. I know Art was doing bad last time I heard is there anyway I could bring it to him and show the love it got. Well if any one knows let me know. Thanks, New Guy Matt....

Hi Howie. Well I do have to say that was months ago and I hope he is fine I was hoping someone knew how he's been. Or if there's any way to try to contact him.

Bill would know. Bill's shop is across the road from Art's shop. You should SEE Art's car collection. Unbeliveable.

Howie, that guy accross the street from Bill's is not Art Brow, he is a doctor from Elyria who collects Italian sports cars, mostly Ferrari's, and also old wooden boats. Can't remember his name.
