For those of you who grew up in Detroit...

You probably remember this jingle for Merollis Chevrolet: https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

"Gene Merollis, what a GREAT, GREAT Guy!"

That particular jungle is from Gene Merollis Chev. in Garden City, MI. It was the "Other" Merollis Chevy. I think it is closed now. There were two of them in the Detroit area. The one I am near is in Eastpointe (Formerly East Detroit) MI. It is still in business. It was always known as just plain Merollis Chevy. No relation at all between the two dealerships.

The local trim shop (the one on Little Joe's quarter panel) was across the street one block north of the 'Pit Stop'.
Looking at online map; Funston's building is still there. The Pit Stop building is still there. The Reasonable Trim Shop building has been leveled. http://maps.live.com/
