If any help, I have a bunch of old Car Village ads from I believe '67 and up also I've read they were in operation to late 80's?
Here's one below from '75 also Member fsc66 posted a few ads previously too although I don't think found any w/ Mark's Motion car either but there's lots more so anyone please speak up if seeking something specific sold there.

I am friends with Steve Keller, his father was the owner, I will give him a call & report back when I hear from him.

There was also another car lot in Carlisle, PA back in the mid to late 70's that also sold many muscle cars (Freddy's) It was located at the entrance to Gate 3 of the Carlisle Fairgrounds. The Lemans Blue Z that I sold Graeme (NorCam) was bought by the 2nd owner in 1971.

I recently talked with Steve Keller, his father & his Uncle Thom Keller were part of a 3rd generation family business that began in 1921 as Keller Brother's Ford in Lebanon, PA. Steve's father was a commercial pilot out of Middletown, PA and is now deceased, his Uncle Thom was president and general manager of Keller Brother's Ford and opened Car Village in 1967. Thom is now 70 yrs old and sold his share of the business in 2009 and is now a full-time pastor in Lebanon, Pa.
Steve and his son tried to keep the muscle car business alive & were using Keller Brothers Ford showroom as they were doing internet sales on eBay and he finally stopped selling cars around 2015. Steve now has his own home improvement business but is still involved with cars, he recently got a phone call from a woman in TX wanting to sell her 1957 TBird that was sold new at Keller Brother's Ford, it turns out that Steve's father sold the car new. The woman told Steve that she found his father's info with all of the dealer paperwork that she still had. Steve's father wrote a letter, stating if the car ever came up for sale, he would be interested in buying it back, Steve recently bought the car and it is now back in Lebanon, Steve lives right across the street from Keller Brothers Ford.
