Do you mean Lake Ave.?
Lake Ave.is too far north to be considered Evanston.
Sounds like Village Chevrolet at 435 Green Bay Rd. in Wilmette.

Lake Avenue is not Lake Street-(Aka Ill.Hwy 20).
Two completley different roads around here..just for future reference.
Does he still have the car..any vintage pics?

It's getting hard to remember all this stuff but I believe Mancuso had purchased the dealership in Wilmette and it was called North Shore Chevrolet?

Jeff, in 1970 there was

Joe Jacobs Chevrolet Co.
435 Green Bay Rd.
Wilmette, ILL
Phone: AL 1-5400

Humphrey Chevrolet, Inc.
635 Chicago Ave.
Evanston, ILL
Phone: GR 5-3133

You said 25-30 years ago so to be technical, they were still in business by 1976.
