TEXAS TRAILS, HARWELL MOTORS

Charger · Post by **Charger** » Wed Apr 18, 12 12:29 pm

just got back from Texas, been for a couple of weeks for family visit / vacation just north of Dallas

took a trip to the Harwell Motor Company in Sherman, this is the place where Mike Brewer got the black ’70 Charger from for the recent Wheeler Dealer USA program

while I was away retrieving the family from their latest Mall visit, my brother dusted off his ’69 vette for our 33 mile trip up to Sherman …

we headed north on the 289 through Prosper, Celina, Gunter, Dorchester and then right onto the 56 into Sherman …

Harwell Motors is on the outskirts of Sherman, an unassuming unit next to a few other auto related businesses …

once inside, the place looked vaguely familiar from the TV show …

that was all for the main ‘show room’, they also have a workshop which had a few cars in …

one of the sales guys mentioned they had another building full of cars out the back, he said it was a bit dusty and there’s no lights on but we could take a look all the same

on our way to the next building we came across these sat out in the sunshine, all in a bit of a sorry state, but the good news is that they are all sold for projects!! …

after a good few hours, it was time to head back, as we were leaving, the black Chevelle on steels / dog dishes was being loaded onto a trailer (can just be seen at the far end of the car park) …

a grand day out

if you’re ever around those parts, I can recommend a visit, Harwell Motor Company is at 4501 West Houston St., Sherman, TX 75092 … http://www.harwellmotors.com/

Your brother isn't too good at judging the length of the nose on that Corvette is he.

I can't talk. I hit my garage door with mine the other night.
