Anyone know anything about Doan Calhoun, Philadelphia PA, dealer code 15-165?

That's apparently where one of my cars came from.

Our 1966 Corvette came new from Don Calhoun Memory not to good but I think Don Calhoun retried around 1970-71 The story was that GM wanted to build a bigger dealer ship Mr. Calhoun decided to closed up his dealership and retied because of his age felt that was not in his best interest A good friend of mine was the parts manager there hes now at Faulkner Cadillac in Trevose Pa

That number is a cell phone, Can you explain what connection Don(e) White has to Don Calhoun and who he is? Not always best to call a cell without knowing it is OK. thanks

Don also lives in Philadelphia, and knows much about the city's Chevrolet dealers. I've spoken to folks who have bought cars from Calhoun, one of the I think is a friend of Sammy's with a '72 Nova SS????

Doan Calhoun was a very big dealerhip back in the 60's/70's and was in my neighborhood too. I just gave my friend my dealer emblem because his father bought an Impala from there and has since passed away. I will see if I have another one in my collection for you.

Don, Since Denis was the OP, he gets first dibs on the swag <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif Don't think I would drill holes in my car for an emblem anyway <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif If you have pics of any stuff or old ads, dealer photos, that would be great! Thanks for the help!

Next season I have to create a story board for my car and hit some south jersey and philly shows to see if there are some old owners around <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

Donny is a good friend of mine with vast amounts of knowledge in this hobby, especially in this kind of stuff.
