I see you are doing some more magic to your son's Squarebody.

The square body build with my son is awesome!!! Love that he is interested in this stuff.

Whenever we travel east we pass through Walnut Ridge. I have never heard of Flippo Pratt Chevrolet. Those names are common to that area but I couldn't find any info on a dealership of that name.

I found John Sain Chevrolet in Walnut Ridge in the fifties and Cavanaugh is the dealer there now.

I just found it interesting that there is nothing on the WWW about the dealership.

Interesting... All I can go off of is the paperwork that came with the truck when I bought it. I will have to do some searching on my own to see what comes up.

**davischevy** · 11-01-2018, 09:55 PM

I don't doubt the authenticity of the paperwork.

I just found it interesting in this day of information overload, that I couldn't find one mention of the dealership.

The Flppo Pratt sounds vaguely familiar like I may have seen the name on a truck bumper maybe. There was a Pratt auto salvage in Walnut Ridge.

**davischevy** · 11-01-2018, 10:05 PM

There is a Pratt Auto Salvage and Flippo Used Cars still there.

**CMACDONALD1** · 11-02-2018, 11:32 AM

All of my searches came up empty. Must have been a dealer that was only there for a short while. Maybe with any luck somebody from Walnut Ridge that has lived there for a long time will chime in and fill us all in.
