Rolls/Bentley ads by Mr. Ryan

02/14/2011 11:58 PM

In the 1980's & 90's and possibly late 70'S and early 2000's a man in Mephis Tn. Owned a Rolls/Bentley repair shop & when a customer wanter to sell their Rolls/Bentley the person would have him write the ad for Hemmings & take the calls & sell the car for them. He would put the ad under the Rolls/Bentley for sale collum of Hemmings Motor News. He would write the most extensive ads that would take up a lots of collum space so there easy to find in the collum.His choise of words and light humor made them very interesting and even entertaining to read. To my knowledge he has either passed or at least closed up his shop from retirement. I would love to have some of his ads. If you have any Hemmings motor news with these ads I would love to have a photo copy of the page with the ad. I only have one from the dec.1990 issue on a 67' bentley coupe he was selling for someone. Any ads you can find would be greatly appreciated.If I could find someone in the Dallas /FT.Worth area that had a collection of Hemmings that would let me reasearch them for these ads I would feel like a kid on a treasure hunt at 58 yrs old. All Best, Ron Powers

Why not contact Hemmings directly?
