1963 Dealership Search
 

Good Morning Guys,

Anyone out there know what dealership this may have been? May have been in the Harrisburg, PA vicinity back in '63? Trying to help with a '63 Corvette search.

ZONE 49 DEALER 395

Any help would be great!

Unless he appears here first, check in w/ Member fsc66 as his Chevrolet Dealer Database is more extensive than that of NCRS or others also he’s a great guy always willing to help.
If no luck also it’s never foolproof but comparing other known codes, the Dealer name likely begins w/ letters M through R.
Best of luck also love to hear more on the subject car!

Dealer
 

I have 391 and 396 but not 395

Paul

Need to check with Warren also

‘

Anything for McClellan St. College or Rupert/Tyrone PA?
What are 391 and 396?:hmmm:
:beers:

.

Could 391 or 396 be for Stocker Chevrolet in State College

391 and 396 respectively
 

Morrison chevrolet inc
moyer chevrolet inc

Sure appreciate the research guys. I'm actively watching what you experts come up with here!

Mike

NCRS has Stocker as 49-576 which makes sense starting w/ S.
Is this correct also anything known for McClellan or Rupert?:hmmm:
:beers:

Dealer
 

Rupert is 696 but the dealer we are looking for most likely is between MOR-MOY

‘

Good info, thanks for sharing!
Not to be confused w/ 15-426 Moore Chevrolet Conshohocken PA but what about Curly Moore Chevy Yatesboro’ PA who was in operation during the correct time period?:hmmm:
:beers:

Curly Moore
 

13-547 have them in Rural Valley, also see older listing for Yatesboro. Checked and they are 2 minutes apart so zone would not change even if dealer code jumped a notch

‘

Thanks for checking also I see it’s not Nolte/Kittanning either.
Cars from there exist so # likely known but what Dealer # was Monaghan/Uniontown?
:beers:
~ Pete

.

Monaghan
 

13-540

Thanks again for sharing your info and time, so awesome you have these Dealer #’s other groups simply don’t.
We’re running out of possibilities so unless something better shows up, it may be worth looking deeper at #396 EW Moyer in Orwigsburg in case they also used #395 like some dealers who operated w/ two or more consecutive #’s?:dunno:
If anything more known of Subject ‘63, we can give searching old ads a whirl…Coupe/Roadster/Color/Engine/Trans?
:beers:

Dealer
 

Agreed, many dealers did have more than 1 dealer code. Not looking up any more dealers at this point, too busy

Dealers:
 

Just another word of advice. The name of the dealer may start with the letters: MOR-MOY, however, that can also be the last name of the owner. Therefore as an example: we can have Morrison Chevrolet or Robert Morrison Chevrolet or even Morrison Motors that would still fit within the dealer codes.
So don’t limit your thought process to MOR-MOY Chevrolet only

Great stuff and thanks for your time/info or the quick cut to details above wouldn’t be possible.:biggthumpup:
Best case conclusion, EW Moyer Orwigsburg the closest fit unless deeper digging provides info otherwise.

Back to the OP, please share more Subject details as it’s often surprising what searching old ads sometimes yields?
If anything known of where it lived/when it may’ve been advertised by past owners, please include.
:beers:
