Looks like another one of the few remaining Chicago-area Chevrolet dealership names with a legacy from the muscle-car era is history:

Interesting, my '67 427/400 Corvette roadster was a Z Frank car.

I generally associate specific cars that I've had the pleasure of looking over with the dealers they were originally delivered to. Your '67 was the first car that came to mind when I read this. They also delivered a '69 L-88 that was at St. Charles last June.

I do miss it, Chris. But another is on the way.

This was the chevy store owned by the Lynch auto group since the 90's. It was some other name (Matro) for a short time in 07. Indirectly this was Nicky Chevrolet. Lynch purchased the ticket from the store that was last located at the old nickey site.

It was Nickey, then Keystone then Lynch.
