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.

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?
