1404 - Original Dealer Clegg Motors

[linmk2]

While perusing the Mark II Data Base, I noticed that 1404 was sold in my lifelong hometown of Port Arthur, Texas. The selling dealer was Clegg Motors. The building still stands near the corner of Gulfway Drive and Woodworth Blvd. I was able to locate a photo of the owners of the dealership standing in front of a 1957 Lincoln Premiere. I wonder if 1404 was the first Mark II I ever saw. I must have been 5 or 6 at the time and I went to Merchant's Bank with my dad. I have always been a "car nut". Parked in the parking lot was the most beautiful car I had ever seen to date. My dad lifting me up so I could look inside. From that moment, I was a Mark II fan. For the record, the car belonged to the President of the bank, Jack Craig.
