My COPO was sold out of this dealership in late 69 (09D build). I've traced consecutive ownership all the way back to 1970 but am missing the original owner - supposedly a "college kid" according to the 2nd owner's wife.
Ray Bryant was just down the street from the University of Dayton (1620 Brown Street). Ray Bryant became Frank Z Chevrolet, then later Frank White Chevrolet which is still in operation today. Through old newspaper ads I have the following names of people that worked at Ray Bryant in late 69/early 1970:
Darrel Vignon - service manager
M. Barley - sales manager
Ray Johnson - sales / HR?
Paul Miltner - body shop manager
I live 50 miles north of Dayton, but don't know a soul from that town. Just putting this info out in case someone on this site knows one of these guys or can give me a lead in my quest for the OO of my car. Thanks in advance for any info you have!
