Just curious if anyone had a list of Chevy dealers that were around in Arizona in 1969. Trying to determine from what dealer my Bel Air was purchased.
Thanks. |

Courtesy Chev., Brown & Brown are the 1st to come to mind. Local fellas at the Pavillions will know. I'll ask.

I think my car came from down near Tucson, but I'm not 100% sure.
I like the fact Courtesy still has the original sign out front. Very cool when it's lit up. |

Murray-Bryant Chevrolet was in Tucson back then.. Do you have any docs or anything with zone codes? What plant was your car built at?

Thanks guys.
My car was built at the LOS plant. It's a one-family car that's been in AZ its whole life, so I'm trying to ask the guy I bought it from if he can find out for me. I seem to remember him saying it was purchased down in southern AZ somewhere, but I'm not 100% sure. Sadly, no docs. |

O.K. instead of Becker it's Bender Chev. 1375 N. Arizona Ave. Dealer #065
In southern AZ. there was Star chev. in Bisbee In N.W. AZ. Lamb Chev. in Prescott the only other southern dealer would have been in Yuma and Safford.

Well, looks like we have a winner! He believes it was purchased in Bisbee, AZ, so that means the dealership is Star Chevrolet.
Thanks guys! Very cool. If anyone has any dealer emblems or anything from there, please let me know. |
