Interesting you mention Walric and Frame. I have a few sets of dealer plates from those dealers. They have stickers on the backside. The Frame plates are a chrome foil sticker, and the Walric is a white reflective sticker. I will try to post a picture.

Can you post a Walric Dealer Plate & do you want to sell me one.

Definitely a very old thread but will add that my pace car came from Giles Chevrolet. Interesting to hear it was a performance dealership! I am hoping to obtain information from the Giles family. The dealer code is 107 and Zone 2 according to info obtained from NCRS. The dealership was sold to Rampone family(Ramp Chevrolet) in mid 80's and later bankrupt in 2009

Giles
 
Is odd, I have Giles in Port Jeff listed as: 27-120 with about 4 entries, then one for 02-106.
What year is the pace car that you received the data report for?

That is goofy as 27-120 is a known Giles' Code in '69 also 02-106 a later # they used to '88 then Ramp was 02-107 from '89?:hmmm:
Other examples may help clarify but unless code change happened before subject vehicle delivery, the NCRS report code noted seems incorrect for the date?
Welcome aboard and looking forward to seeing/hearing more of your Pacer!
:beers:

Thank you Pete & Paul! I apologize for the late reply as I'm a newbie here! Thanks for the warm welcome! :beers:
The previous owner of the car had obtained the report from NCRS and official production date was 3/10/1969. It said the original delivery dealer was dealer code 107 in zone 2 which comes up as Ramp Chevrolet. The report then quoted "The name and address for the dealer is not available in the GM document". Ramp Chevrolet went out of business 20 years ago, but the same family owns a Ford Dealership and spoke to one of the owners who said that they bought the Chevrolet dealership from the Giles family in the mid-80's and that the Giles family operated the dealership from 1933 to the mid-80's. I found the Giles' grand daughter who still lives in the area and emailed her.. She was going to ask her mother if there are any docs from the dealership that still exist and give me some guidance. I am operating on the assumption that the dealer code provided on the report was meant to be Giles Chevrolet since it is not possible it was sold new at Ramp...

I have in my database besides Ramp Chevrolet for 02-107:
Cargill Chevrolet in Putnam Ct. They were there in 1969 see attached:
Ad dated: Sept 18, 1968

Wow, thanks Paul! This makes more sense that the car possibly came from Cargill Chevrolet in Putnam over it being delivered to Giles in Port Jeff, since I know from early 1970 that it was purchased by 2nd owner at a used car dealership in Worcester, MA.

Here is a Bast Chevrolet keychain, first one I've seen (not mine, on eBay):

Brian Bast is a good friend of mine, see him quite often. I will ask him if he has any of these laying around, if anybody wants one
