Tennyson Chevrolet

[MotownMadman]

Anyone have any recollection of Tennyson Chevrolet in Farmington Michigan? I was talking with my older brother who reminded me that our dad bought two new Suburbans there, one in 65 with a six banger, then one in 66, a fully optioned model with a 327. After having it less then six months he took it back to the dealer and had a 396 installed as he bitched non stop because pulling our camping trailer he thought it was gutless. After having the big block put in he couldnt keep a center driveshaft carrier bearing in it and sold it less then a year later. Big brother remembers the big block having chrome valve covers and a aluminum intake. Hmmm.....Dealer built Super Suburban? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Dad died last year or I would pick his brain about it. Anyone know of that dealer?

Motown,
No Tennyson Chevrolet in Farmington. They're still in their original location on Plymouth Rd near Farmington Rd in Livonia. I bought my first new car from them, black and gold "79" Z. The only Chevy dealer in Farmington I can think of is Roger Peck which was on Grand River (still there under a different name). http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

Thanks,
I knew it was Farmington something or other, I was about 12 when we bought the Suburbans there, lucky to remember as much as I did.
