Great pics Jeff!
Thompson Chevy was on the corner of Addison & St. Charles in Villa Park.
That was my hometown dealer,that I spent many hours at and bought three cars & many parts & memorabilia from.That soon became Larry Roesch Chevrolet,but then moved to thier Bensenville location shortly thereafter.

I think Payton Chevrolet is where Gary Langs Auto group is today.
And of course Long Chevrolet in Elmhurst...Pie in the face for timmy! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
