Frankie..nobody forgets an Ed

but you're right.. I bought the new GTO about 2 years ago....damned if I can remember the salesman...

for those who are wondering I worked at Brigance and Ed at that time advertised himself as Mr.Ed the fastest gun in the west,that was in response to Mr Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge,he would have young guys lined up waiting to see him so he could spec out their new sleeper,or SS.I worked for Ed who's last name is Schoenthaller ( forgive the spelling) when he was partners with John Tufo at West side Ford which was on roosevelt road and the expressway next to the cemetary,it's now a propane gas dealer.Ed was always into cars and is quite a collector even today,for those looking for the info on the muscle cars from Brigance he is the man to speak to.I don't recall the name but I know he now owns a Pontiac dealership in the west suburbs,perhaps some one else knows something,I would like to talk to anyone from the old Brigance days it was quite a place to work and really defied logic,we had great people to work with and it produced many of the dealers you see in business today.

Ray Fencl, my namesake and Uncle, was my Dads (Dick Fencl) brother and a partner in Fencl-Tufo Chevrolet.

My 71 Corvette had this sticker on the storage lid.



Then I photoshopped it and made a new one.

That is a nice story to hear Bob. Welcome to the site.

Yes Mr.Ed was a great sales friend for me back in 1969, my first car was a 1969 Nova 396/375 4speed,the second car was a black COPO turbo 400.
