I thought this may be a better place for me to make this post. I am new to this board and am trying to collect the dealer codes for all the zone 27 dealers around in the late 60s. Here are the ones that I haven't been able to find the codes for yet
Bast Chevrolet-Seaford
Bedford Chevrolet Sales Corp-Brooklyn
Curry Chevrolet-Hempstead
Grove Motor Sales Co-Brooklyn
Frame Chevrolet-Mineola
Hull Chevrolet-Olds-Southampton
Kort Chevrolet-Floral Park
Lester Motors Inc-Easthampton
Nesenger Chevrolet-Patchogue
Rupp Chevrolet-Lynbrook
MacGrotty Chevrolet-Flushing
Luyster Motors Inc-Glen Cove
O'Keefe Chevrolet/Olds-Riverhead
Luby Chevrolet-Forest Hills
PJ Grady Chevrolet-West Sayville
Frog Hollow Chevrolet-Bethpage
Great Neck Motors Inc-Great Neck
I have looked on the dealer list one the Chevelle website numberous times, but had no luck with these particular dealers. If anyone has the codes for any of these dealers, please let me know!

Add Baldwin Chevrolet to your list...

Curry had two locations... one on Central Ave in Greenburg and the other out on the Island.

Curry in Westchester was a typicaly Hi-Po dealer. I've seen numerous LS6 Chevelles sold out of there. But then again if you really wanted Hi-Po, just drive 5 minutes into White Plains to Byrne Brothers Chevy.

Mark, do you happen to have a dealer tag (or any other dealer info) from Norwood Motor Co in Warwick, Rhode Island? I've got a 69 Chevelle that originally came from that dealership and I'd like to find an original dealer tag.
Thanks!

Thanks for the help everybody! Wow I've never heard of Walric Chevrolet, very interesting. The actual list is about double of what I posted. The other half I have the codes for. I cant believe how many dealers LI had! If anybody else has any protecto plates, old invoices/window stickers or dealer emblems from Long Island dealers, please post some pictures as I'd love to see. I have a collection of approx 1200 protecto plates, and a few long island ones have come through, so that is a big help for addresses, but not codes. Keep it comin http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

You can probably call Brian Bast at Bast in Seaford LI, they have a complete Chevy performance shop on premises and host a bunch of vintage Chevy car shows in the summer, so they are performance minded, they probably have a bunch of the old crap/paperwork still laying around

I know this is a little off topic, but I bought a 1966 Chevy II parts-car from a man who seems to be the original owner. The title is dated December 3, 1974. It says that Pietro Zacco bought the car 2/28/66 from Major Chevrolet Inc, 34-14 Steinway St. Long Island City, N.Y.

Are they still in business, or long gone ?

03-22-2007, 06:58 PM

That breaks down as Zone 27 Dealer 275.
I know of two 1970 Chevelles sold from these dealerships that might shed some light on your search,but both are defunct today.

University Chevrolet
1221 Jerome Ave.
Bronx 52 N.Y. 10452
Zone-27 Dealer-271

H M Williams Chevrolet

Hi Nick,
I looked in my personal dealer list and have a match.
27 275 is:
Village Chevrolet Co Inc
222-22 Jamaica Ave
Queens Village NY 11428

I think this came from a 1967 protecto plate book.

Thanks to everyone! I just picked up my '74 Spirit of America Vega on Long Island two weeks ago. I passed by Bast Chevy on the way. Since it was built in Canada (1st year for this), I was able to get documentation from GM Canada for it. They only listed the code, not the dealer name, I figured it was in NYC, because an old key I got with the car was stamped with the name of a locksmith in Yonkers, NY. Another hint was the City/Country horn switch under the dash. I've only seen them on Ebay until now.
The body of the car is in great shape. The interior needs a little work (elbow grease, seat covers, carpet), but it's all there.
Best of all, I owned one of these back in the 70's, so it's like seeing an old friend again!
Thanks again for the help. -Nick

Interesting you mention Walric and Frame. I have a few sets of dealer plates from those dealers. They have stickers on the backside. The Frame plates are a chrome foil sticker, and the Walric is a white reflective sticker. I will try to post a picture.

Definitely a very old thread but will add that my pace car came from Giles Chevrolet. Interesting to hear it was a performance dealership! I am hoping to obtain information from the Giles family. The dealer code is 107 and Zone 2 according to info obtained from NCRS. The dealership was sold to Rampone family(Ramp Chevrolet) in mid 80's and later bankrupt in 2009

fsc66

04-02-2021, 02:24 PM

Is odd, I have Giles in Port Jeff listed as: 27-120 with about 4 entries, then one for 02-106.
What year is the pace car that you received the data report for?

Paul

PeteLeathersac

04-02-2021, 03:53 PM

'

That is goofy as 27-120 is a known Giles' Code in '69 also 02-106 a later # they used to '88 then Ramp was 02-107 from '89?:hmmm:
Other examples may help clarify but unless code change happened before subject vehicle delivery, the NCRS report code noted seems incorrect for the date?
Welcome aboard and looking forward to seeing/hearing more of your Pacer!

Thank you Pete & Paul! I apologize for the late reply as I'm a newbie here! Thanks for the warm welcome! :beers:
The previous owner of the car had obtained the report from NCRS and official production date was 3/10/1969. It said the original delivery dealer was dealer code 107 in zone 2 which comes up as Ramp Chevrolet. The report then quoted "The name and address for the dealer is not available in the GM document". Ramp Chevrolet went out of business 20 years ago, but the same family owns a Ford Dealership and spoke to one of the owners who said that they bought the Chevrolet dealership from the Giles family in the mid-80's and that the Giles family operated the dealership from 1933 to the mid-80's. I found the Giles' grand daughter who still lives in the area and emailed her.. She was going to ask her mother if there are any docs from the dealership that still exist and give me some guidance. I am operating on the assumption that the dealer code provided on the report was meant to be Giles Chevrolet since it is not possible it was sold new at Ramp...

I have in my database besides Ramp Chevrolet for 02-107:
Cargill Chevrolet in Putnam Ct. They were there in 1969 see attached:
Ad dated: Sept 18, 1968

69Z11Pacer396

04-12-2021, 02:20 PM

Wow, thanks Paul! This makes more sense that the car possibly came from Cargill Chevrolet in Putnam over it being delivered to Giles in Port Jeff, since I know from early 1970 that it was purchased by 2nd owner at a used car dealership in Worcester, MA.

O'Keefe Chevrolet/Olds-Riverhead is Dealer 71, Zone 27

Also. Looking information on this dealer and on a 1963 corvette delevered there November of 1962, car was raced some point in its life.

Thanks Jack

I can confirm that O’Keefe is dealer 204, zone 27 in 1970-71. I had 2 cars that came from there. One was a Canadian built 1970 Chevelle SS 454. The VVS report listed the dealer zone and code but at the time there was no dealer listed in the database. A few years later I bought a Baltimore built 1971 Chevelle SS 402. I found 2 build sheets inside the seats with the dealer name, address, zone, & code listed. I also had the financing contract with the dealer name & address listed.

If anyone is wondering, prior to it being Bast Chevrolet, it was called Seaford Chevrolet. I used to own another Canadian built 1970 Chevelle SS 454 that was sold there new. The VVS report lists the name & address of the dealer as Seaford Chevrolet, 3660 Sunrise Highway, Seaford, NY 11783. VVS must not have their dealer list updated to reflect the year of the car as it was already Bast in 1970.

Interesting...not sure what to make of it, maybe 2 dealers. This is what I have from the NCRS dealer code database. Thoughts? Jack

It’s definitely the same dealership. My guess is that in 1962, they may have had a different dealer number.

Another change I moved into the area 1983 and bought a Cavalier from Kinney Chevrolet. Not sure when they closed, but it was torn down and it is a nice Bowling complex with a restaurant.

Here's a Kinney thread from 2009. The great feature with this website vs social media platforms is the ability to search. Here's the previous discussion which provides a wealth of information and pics:

Would you be Willing to sell a Walric Plate ?

I should clarify, it is an actual blue/yellow NY “dealer” plate from DMV used to test drive a car on the street, not a showroom type plate advertising the dealer. It has a sticker on the back.
