It might come as some surprise to see an Aussie offering condolences, however Jim was a great help to me when I first bought my 67 Belvedere, including shipping me a rare trunk battery tray.
His books hold pride of place in my library. Vale.
Sorry to learn of Jim's passing. Had a lot of fun times talking with him and Myrna. I will always be glad I got to provide a small part for one of his books and he used pics of my car in the Scat Pack book. Utmost respect for him and the service he sacrificed for our country. Rest in peace my friend.
I will always cherish the memory of Jim and I serving together at ARPERCEN in St. Louis and his beautiful collection of cars. Jim Beverly
Condolences to the Family and Friends from the Ford Model AA Truck Club
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband. So sorry to hear the sad news. Praying for you in your time of grief.
Jim's cordiality and depth of knowledge were two strengths that benefitted many people with whom he came into contact over the years. His country held a special place in his life. So did classic and special cars plus their history. But 0verall, Jim had a fine gift of helping others who held the same interests. A good man. A solid example of human virtues. It was a privilege to call him FRIEND. -- Dr. Gerald Perschbacher, St. Louis
