Cool. Sounds like they were in business a short time and mainly in the 70's to early 80's. I wonder if they had a plate frame or dealer emblem/sticker

Hey guys. I know this is an old thread ,but I bought a 72 Vette a couple of years ago and under the flip up lid for the gas tank is an orange and black sticker that says Albert-Peters Chevrolet,10 E.Main St.,Dundee,Il.60120...I bought this car from the second owner's estate. The title I got was dated Feb.1973,so I can only guess that either he or the original owner purchased the car from that dealer. It is all orig. except for a factory replacement engine block with a CE stamping on it. The car was built in June of 72,so the original motor didnt last very long. I live in the area,so I drive through E.Dundee often,and I can tell you that 10 E.Main St is a small building just east of the Fox River,and looks like it could very well have been a small car dealership back in the day. Also,Main St. is actually Rte.72(or Higgins Rd. closer to Chicago). The location of Al Piemonte Chevy now is on Rte.25,which is further east of downtown Dundee. It is a newer building,but around it are several older car dealer buildings along with the now defunct Santa's Village(no more PolarDome). Hope this helps,if anyone was interested. Mike

I know this is an old post but I also grew up nearby in Crystal Lake and we had friends in Carpentersville. Went to Santa's Village often. I think I know what building this dealership was in on Rt. 25. I will try to snag a picture of it next time I'm in the area. As a kid I used to pay a lot of attention to car lots... weird.

I bought this postcard off ebay. Shows the dealership in about 1977.

Looking at old newspapers I see ads running from 1972-1977. Funny thing is they are all "want ads" for various positions, no car ads.

Yes. I have seen those too. I was surprised to find the postcard.
