One of my Fondest memories as a young boy/Teen,back then,was Fencl-Tufo's commercials.
They were known as"The Monster Dealer",and used very intrique Monster hand puppets in their Advertising..
Those damn Puppets were Scary and Hillarious at the same time.I can still see them in my Sleep! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Didn't they also have an Elvis type song and called themselves Chevy City ??? Or was that a different dealer all together...

I could swear that I have heard that name Ed Conforti as still being active in the car biz. (Their are a lot of these old war horse car guys still around in the Chi-Town car market!) I went to high school with a guy that has the same name. (could be his son?) Fencil-Tufo must have been open for a while because when I was looking for a Monte Carlo SS I looked at an all original 1988 that had the window sticker and Fencil Tofo was the selling dealer. I think that they went out of business because of some sort of illegal activities or bad business practices?

I noticed that my posted pics disappeared of the Brigance decal, and Clark Maple decal since that crappy pic host site I used went out of business. I will re post them along with a couple of new ones for any site member or surfer that happens to have a car from one of these dealers and would like to see the dealer decal.

Here is a dealer that I never heard of called Circle Chevrolet. They were on the South side of Chi-town on Racine and something or other. The car that this sticker was on was a 70 Nova 6 cyl that was kind of like a found in a barn story. The current owner bought the car from the original owners estate a couple of years ago. It is ALL original except for a repaint because of some body dents. The sticker was relocated to the back window after the repaint. Really neat car.

This sticker was on a 74-75 Mailbu. The dealer is Jim Link Chevrolet which was located in La Grange IL. They went out of business in 1992. My all original Monte Carlo SS was sold new there in 1986. The dealer decal on my Monte looks similar to this one. (Still looking for plate frames though!!)

I know this is an old post but i'm new to the site. I know Seputes and went to his house back in the early 70's to buy a big block cam. he uncovered the motor and pulled it out. At that time he was at brigance as vette mechanic. I remember his driver was a 70 Caprce shadow grey 454.
