I'd like to put a list together of B.F. Meyers & Co. buggies(made 1964-1971) which are still owned by the original builder/first owner or their family. I apologize for omitting anyone I should have known but I'd really appreciate if anyone can add to it, just from memory these are owners I can recall;

Bob Yahn
Don Wilcox
Glenn Knight
Randy Monroe
Les Paterneau
Bill Brooks
Sam Cafiso
Nelson Sparks

Yes you're right, Bruce sold Old Red, but he was the original builder and he owns it now.

Nelson, you might consider hitting the little facebook link on this thread and posting it on the facebook page (referring them back to this thread). I know of at least 2 or 3 on this coast. They probably haven't seen your post.

I believe these two:
Neil Fair (member #57)
Bill Synk (member #4196)

I know one more who'll be posting himself. I made him aware of this thread.
