Thank you. I have no regrets about putting my time into the Project. It is much easier to manage at this point. We will continue to add more SSPs as they show up. One day we should have all of the GSP cars confirmed which will get us near the 4K mark. That's not too shabby. I like seeing cars posted for sale when the seller includes a screenshot of our Project. That's all the payment I need.

EDIT: I should add a huge THANK YOU to Mick for his time and effort to establish the VINs for the V8 notchbacks. We would not have been able to get this whole thing started without his contribution.

It was my pleasure to get this ball rolling. :)

Another leasing company SSP popped up on Facebook. The owner was willing to share photos and we are able to add it to our VIN Project -

This 1989 SSP was purchased by Peterson Howell & Heather (known now as PHH Corporation) which is a fleet leasing company (much like the AVIS and GELCO cars that have been confirmed). The first user of this vehicle is presently unknown. Pretty cool! :cool:

Attached is a photo of the car.

it is amazing how many of these cars keep popping up. Nice picture Bill thanks for posting that up.

In some respects the hobby was isolated for a long time with the forums. Given the advent of Facebook and the number of users on there, it has opened up a whole world (literally) of people with SSPs looking to connect with other SSP owners and learn more about their SSP.

I was eying your 1993 Louisiana State Police listing, VIN ending in 899. This is a confirmed LSP, DPS car #6884.

Barn-find 1989 Michigan SSP
 
ChetZ posted up on FB about a barn-find 1989 Michigan SSP yesterday. Most of the posted photos are now part of the page for this SSP in our Project -

I find that many FB users have little to no knowledge of how the hobby evolved through the first message boards and forums (I'm not being derogatory; we all started out new to this hobby at some point). I hope that this forum will continue to be a vital source for SSP information. That is why we continue to focus on the cars and their history. MANY automotive forums are struggling to remain relevant and their lack of activity points to their eventual demise. FB is good for buying & selling, socializing and networking, but I want to see our efforts here continue for many years to come.
