Re: Jack Douglas ad: circa February 16,1969
My late Corvette mechanic, Frank Krummer worked as a tech
at Brigance Chevrolet from 1966 till I think the mid 70's
before getting his own shop, Suburban Pit Stop. (Ogden ave and Harlem in Berwyn Il) He told me that dealer was very performance orientated in the 60's. He told me that he factory ordered a 1969 Z28, and a 1970 Chevele SS 454 LS5
that he used as a tow car! He also worked on many performance cars of customers as well.
Their was a lot of muscle car activity in that part of the Chicago area back then between all the COPO's sold at Jack Douglas Chevy, Nickey Chevrolet, Mr Norms Grand Spaulding Dodge, Fencil Tufo, Etc.
A couple of interesting facts, Marlin Spotts told me that their were more Yenko Deuces sold in the Chicago area than anywhere else(Im still looking Marlin!), and Pontiac GTO sales were also higher in Chicago than any other city.
