Hello Paul...The only thing I have found so far is a match book cover with the Memphis State University 1969 football schedule on it and Union Chevrolet phone 324-3671 2200 Lamar. Pretty cool item. I am still looking!

From 'Vettes to 'Vairs...even Grampa's '56 Chevy that sold recently on eBay, there seems to be a bunch of enthusiasts w/ Union Chev cars that you could try on for info?.

I bought a huge collection from a collector down south,and in it was this ashtray.
Who in their right mind would put a cigarettes ashes in this.
Even though he is from Kentucky/Tenn. area,I was wondering if this is the same
dealership as it was a somewhat common name.Can anyone confirm?

Very cool ashtray Rick!

That '69 Z-28 Stefano posted a few months ago was a Union Memphis car too..

And was Union a Cadillac dealer too?.
If so maybe the King bought some Caddys there...the Memphis King, not the reigning King around here!.
