The new MCR has a short piece on Dana back in 1967 with old photos of the site. Just for fun I looked for 9735 Long Beach Boulevard on Google Earth and there it (still) is, largely unchanged.

This photo below, with two 396 Camaros, was taken under the overhang visible in the lower photo:

Looks like two 396 Camaros and two 427 Impalas!

That was the High Performance Center part of Dana Chevrolet. The regular dealership was at 8730 Long Beach Blvd.

I re-read the MCR article and began to think that was the case. Separate performance center. Love the HOME OF THE DANA CAMARO call-out on the building. I can imagine driving by, not knowing what was going on there, and seeing all that!
