Where was Wangers Chevrolet ?It looks like the first pic of Chevelle was taken at Great Lakes Dragway in Union Grove Wisconsin

Wangers Chevrolet was in Milwaukee at Green Bay & Capitol Drive. Still there; now a Volvo dealership. They sold a bunch of "Milwaukee Classic" Monte Carlos with special paint. Always had a selection of used hi-perf stuff. I recall a big-tank '65-'66 Corvette on their lot.

Great Lakes is still operating, 40+ years. Has to be one of the oldest strips around.

The "Milwaukee Classic" Monte Carlos had to be the ugliest looking cars ever put together. How bad you ask? Makes a Yugo look like a Yenko Camaro. Car looks like something you would check up on your Ho's with. Makes you wonder what Jim Wangers was thinking. Must of used up all of his good ideas on the GTO's.

Restorable pimpmobiles are hard to find these days...especially the Caddy's with the chrome imitation Rolls Royce front end. I hear Jack Douglas may have made a few of these and called them Superflies.But we all know those werent authorized by Willie the Wimp.

If you guy's get a chance read the Wangers book Glory Days.It has a chapter about the Montes and the story of his Chevrolet dealer.It's not a bad book if you can stand to finish it!
