Does anybody remember a Taylor Chevrolet in Flemington, NJ. Are they still around?

I don't recall the name, but almost all the Flemington dealers are owned by 1 big company.

I live right next to Flemington. Jeff is right: a mega dealer bought up all the dealers in town a few years back. Not to fear though, I'll check with my old-timer mechanic. he knows all the old gossip. Do you have a car from there? If so what? He knows all the old street racers from days of old! -NJSteve

Uh Oh John....
You've aquired a new car.
What did you sell to make room for it..Please don't say it was the LS6.
I never got to see it!

My auto mechanic pal said that there were several chevy dealers in the Flemington area 30+ years ago. The one you may be thinking of was probably in Ringoes, NJ. a neighboring town of Flemington. He is an old time hot rodder and works on everybody's cars in the area, from Hemis to Chevies to Fords. He actually lives next door to the former owners of that Ringoes area Chevy dealer. He will be happy to talk to you about whatever you need. His name is Al and he owns Als Auto Care Center in Flemington. For anyone else in the Central NJ area, I highly recommend him for repair work on musclecars as well as newer stuff. (He works on our minivan whenever my wife breaks it) The garage number is (908) 782-7442. He just bought a 41 Plymouth with a 392 Hemi and is probably working on it right now!

By the way, do you happen to know what the address of the dealership was?

Thanks for the info, I will call Al and see what he knows. I dont have the address Just that it was sold new out of Taylor Chevrolet in Flmington NJ.

Hi Steve, Al is really a nice guy and really seems to enjoy cars himself. He said Taylor Chevy moved about 3 times and in 69 was right down the block from his shop. The building is still there but is now a strip mall. He found out the name of the new car sales manager in 69 and is going to contact him to see if its ok to give me his number. I also was wondering if maybe my car could have been used at Flemington Speedway as there Pace car in 69. I see in 71 they used a plum crazy purple conv. Challenger. Steve thanks again.
