Hauser Chev in Bethlehem PA, anyone know of it?
So if I had actually looked further, I would have posted my other post here:
So I come to find out that my non-super car 67 rs/ss convertible came from Hauser Chevrolet in Bethlehem PA. I have read that Hauser sold at least a couple of ZL-1 69s. Does anyone know if Hauser transitioned to another dealership that might have records? I know that it's a reach, but much stranger things have happened. Jeff |

Re: Hauser Chev in Bethlehem PA, anyone know of it?
Hauser Chevrolet became Dick Milham Chevrolet, I believe in the late '70s. Do not believe it remains in business, at least under that ownership.
Hauser had ZL1s #4 & #43. I have been involved with #4 since the late '80s. Dan Palchanes did a tremendous amount of research on Hauser many years ago including finding NOS Hauser dealer tags. I have copies of Hauser ads for #4 from microfiche records at the Bethlehem library. Not only when new, but when they sold it as a used car in '71. He didn't stop there, found the buyer at the time and put me in touch with him. Also have photos of the car as raced for the '70 NHRA season. Had there a scrap of paper left from the dealership he would have found it. He sent all of this to me n/c. Nobody else does that, then or now.

Ran across this Posting so thought I would add a little info. from my experience. Hauser Chevrolet was operated for many years by Ben W Moore. He was married to Nancy Hauser Moore. I met them while attending a SCCA race at Watkins Glen in 1958 They had entered a 1958 Corvette and was very gracious to explain the ins and outs of the car including the "sintered metallic" Brake lining. He retired in 1985 from dealership and past away in 1990. He was an original member of the Roger Penske racing team.(from his wife's obit) .
I worked as a parts manger for Chevrolet Dealership in Owego NY from 1963 to 1965, and then left to become service Manager at Mint Chevrolet From 1965 to 1972 when I did a turn around in career choice and direction becoming a self employed Nationwide Insurance agent until I retired in 2011 after 40 years and 13 Days. I did have a couple of interesting cars ( that would be "super cars" a 1964 Impala SS With a 327 300 HP option, 4 speed positraction Harbor Blue. That had the Sintered metallic brake option never had to replace brake linings but had tendency to chew up the brake drums. Also they DID NOT like running through water. Learned to dry them out before you really need them! I replaced that with a new 1967 Impala SS 427 385HP Marina blue positraction. Originally equipped with Firestone red line wide oval tires that lasted 8,000 miles. Perhaps I've shared too much info! |
