My visit to COLONIAL Chevrolet in Norfolk, VA

I was in Richmond this week on business, and decided to kill an evening by driving the 2 hours to Norfolk to visit Colonial Chevrolet, the largest Yenko SPAN network dealer in VA back in the day. My brother's Deuce sold new from there, and I think there are several members here who own Colonial cars so I thought this thread might be appreciated.

Today the place is owned by Rick Hendrick of Nascar fame, and it's an entirely new and beautiful place. I was hoping to find the original 60's building surviving, but I was told it had been demolished years ago to build the current place's parking lot up the road.

It's definitely still a performance oriented dealer with many new Corvettes in stock as well as local cruiser's 69 RS/SS 427 phantom Camaro that was roped off in the showroom next to a chromed out GM performance small block crate motor on a stand.

Pick your poison, I'll take mine in a black 6 speed coupe w/ red guts.

The used car place next to the new dealership has an older feel.

This would look cool in my garage.
