Jersey Late Greats Chevrolet 1958 - 1972 Chevrolet Verne Frantz Jr. Verne's 1962 Impala 409 Convertible Verne Frantz 1962 Impala 409 Convertible

Verne L. Frantz Jr., 70, of Hightstown, NJ passed away on February 14, 2021 at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center in Plainsboro, NJ. He was born in Philadelphia, PA, moved to Deans, NJ when he was two years old, lived in Monmouth Junction, NJ and settled in Hightstown, NJ. He served in the United States Navy from 1971-1977. Verne was a world-renowned historian of Chevrolet cars of the 1958-1964 year models and founded the Jersey Late Greats car club.

Verne started the Jersey Late Greats club. He stayed with the club and helped it grow. He devoted countless hours making our club and the hobby better.

Verne was the most knowledgeable of the Late Greats and known by many. Verne and our club members spent countless hours documenting thousands of 1958-1964 full size Chevrolet's and putting together an impressive database of information.

There 's no way to “sugar coat” this. If you knew Verne for any length of time, you may remember a time you and he didn’t see eye to eye about something.

So, when you think about the friends he's made through the years and the great times he had at the many club events and activities, I can honestly say none of that would have happened if it were not for Verne Frantz. Thank you Verne. It will be hard to imagine the club without him. He will be missed. Rest in Peace Verne, and see ya later.
