Default Rydell Chevrolet in Illinois

I just bought a 68 nova and the guy I bought it from said it was from Illinois and there is a rydell emblem on the trunk. Anybody know about this dealer?

Jeff, not sure about Ill., but there's a Rydell in Cedar Falls/Waterloo Ia. They also have an outlet in Cedar Rapids. They have very good deals on crate motors. And they deliver to your door. S.

I agree with Schonye, maybe the car was sold used through Rydell in Iowa and they put thier emblems on?

Phil or Ken
Has Rydell in Waterloo been there for a long time? I called them and the service manager said it was Schiuki or something like that in 68, but it has been there a long time. Were they a hipo dealer?

Maybe Schonye can shed more light on this than I can....I do remember hearing the ads when I was a kid (mid 70's), but I think that was for the Cedar Rapids stores. Not sure about Waterloo/Cedar Falls. Schonye?

I'm not sure how long they've been around that area. In the 60s Freidly was the hipo dealer in that area. They were a Yenko dealer.Rydell may have moved there after Friedly went out of business, or may have had more than one franchise in different states. Rydell does specialize in hipo crate engines like Scoggin Dickie, Pace, and Sallee. S.
