Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

The Williams Chevrolet in Baldwin (formerly Baldwin Chevrolet) must've been very short lived. I remember Lyon Chevrolet in the early seventies until it closed. These were the names of the same single Chevrolet Dealership on Merrick Road in Baldwin. As far as the dealership in Jackson Heights is concerned I can not say if the two were ever connected.

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

Hey Chris...what about "Hasay Chevrolet"...know anything about that one? I owned a Cortez Silver '69 Chevelle, originally an L78/M40/4.10 combo, that had a build sheet from Hasay...car was beautiful with it's blue vinyl top & guts, and was original with only 30k miles on...the interesting part was, though, that it had a '69 512 block'd 427 in it, with a tired Motion sticker in the quarter glass...

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

Here is the current listing from Chevrolet, it can't hurt to give them a call!!

HASAY CHEVROLET, INC.
RTES 11 & 239
SHICKSHINNY , PA 18655 -0024

Phone: (570 ) 542-4153
Fax: (570 ) 542-4749



I have never heard of that name on Long Island. The only place I recall even close to "Hasay" was a "Hassel Motors" but with a name like that I believe they sold 4NJUNK.

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

I was *thinking* the Hasay on our buildsheet had a Long Island address? But I'll have to pull the folder and refresh my memory...but we called them at one time, and they said they had some old paperwork in the attic, but it was too hot in the attic and they'd check when it cooled off...never happened. We called several fall/winters in a row, and we still couldn't get them to check their stash...

Car was killer, though...

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

Give me the Long Island address and I'll find out if there is a different Chevy dealer at that spot now. Chris

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

What was Baldwin Chevrolet became Valley Stream Chevrolet soon there after. I don't recall that there was a dealer in between?

H.M. Williams Chevrolet, Dealer Zone Code 27-283 was in Corona, New York. (I am told the H might be for Hudstadt? )

The Vitar Copo 9561 Camaro race car we have for sale, was delivered to that dealer on March 18th 1969. The original owner said that he drove it 21 miles to his shop at 9226 Ave. D, Brooklyn, New York.

How accurate was his recollection after more than three decades?

P.S. I know of a very cool 1974 Vega which has a lot of Motion and Don Hardy parts on it, which was originally White on White I believe?

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

Chris: dug out my copy of the buildsheet, and that corner is torn...all I can make is...

HASAY [then a chunk is gone] INC
ROUTES [chunk gone]
SHIC [chunk gone again!]

So, I'd say your right on with the Shickshinny, PA, address...oh well, still a cool car, that I wish I had back!

Baldwin Chevrolet was never Valley Stream Chevrolet. Valley Stream Chevrolet still exists it is three towns to the west (in Valley Stream), also on Merrick Road. Baldwin Chev became Williams, (without initials) then Lyons Chevrolet until it closed. It is now a drug store or something. Ironically the neighborhood did not stay forgotten for too long as Joey Buttafucco's First Class Auto Body is just down the block.

Corona, which is part of Queens, NYC is right across the west Nassau County border. Just inside Nassau County is Floral Park and this dealer;
HUSTEDT CHEVROLET WEST, INC.
383 JERICHO TPKE
FLORAL PARK , NY 11001 -2219
Might be a match to "H"

Out where I live there were two Chevy dealerships, one owner using his first name, and his son owns the other using his last name.
All very confusing or interesting. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

There was a Luby Olds here in South Jersey. Maybe they sold Chevys too?

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

The address I have for the Forest Hills Luby is 105-20 Queens Boulevard. I also have the Boston one in my list. I guess Luby was a popular name.

Very cool. Welcome to the site. There are many big car and 427 fans here.
Rick

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

Thanks Rick, I'm hoping to learn a lot here. I'm only 18 so I am fairly new to the supercar stuff, but I have been working on SS427 Impalas all my life. I used to go by the Motion shop every sunday on the way to church so I guess that was when I started getting really interested in Motion. I have already learned a lot of interesting things about Motion on here and I am planning to do a 68 Biscayne "Street Sacers Special" recreation once I can find a nice body. It'll look just like the on in the 4/68 Hi-Perf Cars article. Great Site! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

<font color="blue">Welcome to the board.
What is the 'Tarrytown' ? Anything to do with N.Y.? </font>

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

Tarrytown was where they built all fullsize Chevrolet up until they closed in several years ago. The plant was located a few miles north of the city along the Hudson I think it was one of the first if not the first plant to manufacture Chevrolets. We have a few 68 SS427 Impalas that were built at Tarrytown and sold on Long Island, one in Baldwin and the other in Riverhead.

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

Welcome to the site Steve. Just for the record, The Tarrytown, NY plant was Chevrolet's first assembly plant, opening for the 1912 model. Before that, the facility manufactured the Maxwell car. It closed just a couple years ago.

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

welcome steve, I thought I detected some Long Island in your accent. I see you posted a pic of your ride in the BaldwinMotion photo gallery, it is quite the cruiser, what can you tell us about that car?
Chris https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

That car is actually my dads. It has been in the family since 1978. He saw it in a Newsday ad and bought it from a kid in Seaford for $700! The car was a basketcase with bald tires and typical LI rust. The interesting thing was that it had a 68 Vette tri-power engine in it and the original 427 was upside down in a puddle of oil in the trunk, along with all the comfortron air parts. The trans and rear were original and he drove the car everyday until 1982. The kid he got it from said he bought it from a dentist, and he also said that the car was supposedly sold at Baldwin. The big mystery with this car is the hidden headlights, as everybody says they were only available on Caprice. Besides this car, we also saw one other Tarrytown 68 SS427, a custom coupe, in a PA junkyard, and that car had the hideaway setup. This car was also clearly untouched, and the junkyard owner said he got the car in 1973. I wonder if the paperwork for our car is still out there somewhere https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Anyways, the restoration was completed in 1995, and the car currently has just over 60000 miles on it. It is a great car and a blast to drive! I will get some additional pics posted. Also, if anybody on here has any 64 through 70 fullsize Chevies, my brother and I have a cowltag/vin number database. We get info from car tags, and also junkyard buildsheets and protecto plates from ebay, and we are up to about 6000 cars. We have learned alot about option codes and engine build dates in relation to body build dates, and the meanings of other misc codes on the cowl tags from doing this research. So if anybody has a car from these years, any info you could contribute would be greatly appreciated! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

What kind of stuff was it? I was corresponding with someone a few years ago who sent me some info from a few cars including a 67 SS427 invoice from a dealer called Horlacher &amp; Sherwood Chevrolet in Montrose PA. Somebody had a bunch of invoices from this dealer, but I lost contact with the person. Was this you?

Re: vintage Motion Photos
 

Yea, they exist, but the seller usually commands $500 each for them. So, unless you actually own the car, it's a bit steep!
