Re: Dealer Emblems
 

I have in the Past.I know they were located in Western Ohio,and sold a considerable amount of Corvettes.I remember reading about them in some magazines and being referred to as "Little Detroit".It's funny you bring this up,as I just won this on Ebay. WHAT A PLACE!

Re: Dealer Emblems
 

Thanks!! I wonder if they sold any COPO's or (gulp) Yenkos or ZL-1's??

Re: Dealer Emblems
 

Just liberated an NOS refillable lighter with an enamel facing from a guy who collects cigerette lighters. It has light blue enamel with a dark blue bow tie and in the center reads "Courtesy Chevrolet". Also has "courtesy" engraved in the top as well. The wick has never been lit on it.

Courtesy Chevy must have had some $$$ back in the day as this is a nice piece. Sales award perhaps? Any ideas? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Dealer Emblems
 

Here is a Picture. Cannot use a flash as the enamel just reflects back.

Re: Dealer Emblems
 

I would guess mid 1950's-1960's,as it does resemble some of the other salesmans awards/Dealer handouts from back then.But it could be retro too?Your pictures a lil fuzzy.
Look on the bottom for date code markings.
Should be something like //// ||

Collector that I pried it away from, - had it for over 20 years. Says it is mid 60's. If you are going to GM carlisle I can bring it to show you. Cool item!

Re: Dealer Emblems
 

A month ago or so I attended the first ever cruise night at the dealership that my car came from. I called in advance and told them I was coming with a car sold from them. I didn't think they cared but when I got there they were waiting for me. This is Olaf Gjovik owner of the dealership with my car.

Re: Dealer Emblems
 

I had copies of original titles on the car as well as copies from microfilm from old newspapers of his dealer ads. He took my folder to show his family and came back with this. Said it was in his safe and I should have it.

Darren, very cool. I bet you never imagined something like that would happen. I am sure it made both of your days. Very cool!

Very nice car Darren! Green with envy as they say. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Dealer Emblems
 

Talking to Mr. Gjovik was a hoot. He was telling me that when the Camaros first came out he thought they would fail cause they were too small.

Now my next battle is trying to get him to honor his offer to search his archives to find pictures of the dealership from 1969. He says he has them and my car did sit on the showroom floor. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif Hope he doesn't find them I am trying to keep a lid on the fact that my car is really a 6 banger. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: Dealer Emblems
 

I love this kind of stuff. Looking forward to the SCR in hopes that some of you bring along some of your small items of memorabilia and related Supercar promotional items and what not. It's always cool finding something from your collector car's selling dealership. Here are a few neat items I was fortunate enough to turn up from Rosenthal Chevrolet, in Arlington, VA the original selling dealer of my '70 Chevelle. Turns out they sold at least one ZL-1 as well. Please folks, if you have any items like these, bring them along to the SCR with your cars and share them with us all. I think everyone gets a kick out of seeing some of this stuff alongside the cars. I know I sure do. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

NICE! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
Do you still have that 1970 Chevelle,and if so is it coming here in 2 weeks?

Re: Dealer Emblems
 

Yes Rick I still have the car, but it's just a home-built driver, no numbers to crunch here. Not really SCR material. I'm more into it because it's my first car, I restored it entirely at home, and I've had it for nearly 11 years now. It constantly gets little updates that make it more enjoyable for me. Last summer it was a set of vintage American wheels and an original '70 C.I. air cleaner. This summer it was a new 3.31 posi, F-41 rear bar and a set of air lift bags. Just got it all put together and on the road this weekend actually, and in the 11 years of owning it, the one thing I've never done with it is tested it at the track. The way the new air lift setup makes it plant and go, I'm thinking it may be time to visit the new & improved Pittsburgh Raceway Park. All of this smack talkin' between Marlin and Frankie has got me itchin' to go to the drags too. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif
