Prout Chevrolet Items

[bkhpah]

Does anyone out there have any Prout Chevrolet items? The dealer was in the Clevland Ohio area and sold a group of very interesting COPO Camaros with the 9737 option ,center fuel gauge, and in-dash tach. Most of the cars seem to have been radio delete, nonspoiler and M-22's. Any info on this dealer would be great!

Still looking for Prout Chevy items... License plate frames, key fobs, trunk emblems, etc. Also, any information on COPO cars sold through Prout in 1969. As Brian mentioned, Prout had about a dozen similarly equipped 427 Camaros for sale and I'm looking for any background info on these cars.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Brian/Stan;
What is the 'Trout' portion of Prout Trout? Was a trout their identifier?

Marlin,

The dealer emblem that Prout Chevrolet used was basically an outlined fish (think of the design that various Christian organizations use) with "PROUT" located in the body of the fish. When I was living in the Cleveland area, my friends and I always referred to it as the "Prout trout" - mainly because that's what all the other gearheads called it.

Stan:
I can give you several sizes of the Christian Fish, can a Prout Trout be made from one?

Marlin,

That's pretty much the holdup at this point... I can remember the general makeup of the emblem, but as far as particular measurements, I have no idea. The last one that I remember seeing was right before I left the Cleveland area almost 17 years ago, so the old memory is a little fuzzy on the details. I imagine a trip through one of the Cleveland area boneyards on a future trip out there should score a couple. Thanks for your offer to help though!

Stan
