Jim Chumbley Chevrolet, Ypsilanti MI
 

Does anyone have info or trinkets from this dealership? The building is still there...now a classic car dealer. I own a 69 Chevelle that was purchased new from this dealership.

Thanks for the help,
Tony

A little digging and I discovered that this dealership was Vincent Chevrolet until April 1969. My car was delivered sometime in July so I wonder if it was initially ordered through Vincent instead.

It's right around the corner from me (3 miles from the old house, about 8 now), but I don't have any info for you. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Kurt, I spoke with their high performance salesman (worked for Chumbley from 1968-1970) and he insisted they didn't order any 427 COPO Camaros or Chevelles directly from GM. He thought my 427 Chevelle must have been a dealer trade to Chumbley. Is this consistent with your findings?

Thanks for the info Pete! Things are good, still collecting parts for the Chevelle. To my surprise, I have been totally unsuccessful in finding dealer 'stuff' from Chumbley even though I only live ~50 miles away.

Tony...

It may be worth trying to hook up w/ this '68 L71 'Vette Roadster owner...car purchased new at this same dealer and he was looking for more info too..
