Dealer plates
 

here is what i have

I'm guessing there is not a way to do what you are trying to do, without the DMV records, since the plates were not created for a specific dealer (unlike the literature which is the subject of this thread).

The leading digit might indicate a region, perhaps by county (like the standard Ohio plates*). If you can find an original plate still in the paper wrapper there might be a legend printed on it to help you decode, to narrow your search. I have seen this on some of the Michigan Dealer plates in my collection. Mine where handed down directly so I know the dealer (and salesperson) for the plates in my possession.

*My college roommate worked for New Departure Hyatt in Sandusky and had access to GM company owned vehicles. He was driving a company car one time with an Ohio manufacturer plate, which was stamped "Special" in the location where the county information normally appears.

A woman stopped him while he was putting gas in it, and she said: "...ya know, I've lived in Ohio my whole life, and I don't know where 'Special' county is...."

ok well thanks anyway thats what i figured was there would be no way to find out. if i'm not mistaken "special" is a government plate. meet a guy at a swap meet and thats all he collected was government plates.

Looking for info on zone 13 Pittsburg. Dealer code 252?

Didn't have it. 250 is Durbiano

If he doesn't appear here first, PM Member fsc66 Paul as his Database is much more extensive than NCRS or others.

Looking for Chevrolet Dealer Zone #14 Dealer Code #021 in 1969

I looked up NCRS but the 2 dealers listed appear to be newer

Folks I know this thread is super old but I need to know if anyone has the dealer name for Dealer code 316 zone 44. The NCRS dont have the dealers name but they say the dealer ship Begins with an M.

‘

Member fsc66 can likely confirm but isn’t Zone #44 Dealer #316, HR Marsh and Son, Dearborn?

I am still hunting dealer 833 in zone 23 (Oklahoma).

Still thinking it might be the old Scott Chevrolet. NCRS shows Scott as "unknown".

Thanks my Chevy II sold 2/27/66

The NCRS historical docs done the shipping report but would not conform the dealer. All they said dealer began with M and was out of OH or MI.
Would love to see some ones build sheet or original window sicker with that Dealer code 316 and Zone 44 Marsh and son not Sanford and son. NCRS will revise my report with that.

Can confirm that zone 44 dealer 316 is not H. R. Marsh and Son. H.R. Marsh and Son is zone 44 dealer 292.
Zone 44 dealer 316 is Joe May Chevrolet

Thanks Paul, proof yet again your database is more comprehensive than NCRS or others.

Still searching for dealer name if anyone has updated their files recently. For my 69 Chevelle.

Zone 8 (Ga or SC) Dealer #546

Thanks,
Bill

That NCRS still won't revise my shipper without seeing the actual proof not the dealer advertisement. I get it. Without seeing a real build sheet or original window sticker.
No big deal but really appreciate all the help from you folks.

Ncrs
 

Yep, that is their policy, been down that road many times. I asked Warren to see if he has any docs showing zone and code for Joe May, I think he’ll be checking ending of this week

Paul

Thanks a bunch Paul !

Zone and dealer codes
 

Rather than me going through all these threads. If you have a dealer zone and code or vice versa looking for a dealer zone and code. Please re-post and I’ll check my database to see if I now have your missing information.

Zone 35 -New Jesey

Dealer
 

From my database:

35 185 MALCOLM KONNER CHEVROLET CORP PO BOX 326 PARAMUS New Jersey

When dealers changed hands (or names) did they normally keep the same dealer code?

Example: Seltzer Chevrolet (Yukon, OK) was bought out by Alan Merrell around 1971 or so.
Seltzer was dealer number 835 in Zone 23. Did Alan Merrell Chevrolet keep the same number?

I am still hoping to find dealer 833 in zone 23.

Looking for Dealer Code:
 

got it

New
 

Please see if anyone has zone 19 dealer 324?

Paul

Warren had it, thanks
