Jay-Shon Chevrolet in Sioux Falls, SD
 

I was finally able to meet up with the original owner of my Biscayne this past month on my way back from Alaska. We spent an entire day talking about the car and it's history. I tell you what --- there is no exhilaration like talking to an original owner. VERY cool !!

Anyhoo - In talking with him, the topic of a dealer emblem came up. He recalls specifically telling the dealer (Jay-Shon) to leave the emblem off. They obliged. Does anyone happen to have a pic of a Jay-Shon emblem -- '68 vintage ? Since it didn't have one to begin with, I'm not concerned with finding an actual emblem (although that would be cool). I'd just like to see what one looked like.

Its buried right now, but I do have one... give me a day or 2 to dig it up. Here's a "partial" pic of it... second one down on the right. Very similar to a Jay Kline badge in font and size.

COOL !! Thanks Joe. When you have an opportunity to post a complete pic, that would be mucho appreciated. I will then forward on to him to see "what he missed out on" ...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

They sold a '68 L79 Nova as well, once owned by TommyK in NJ, had super paperwork from the dealer https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Jay-Shon Chevrolet in Sioux Falls, SD
 

From what I understand from my original owner was that there was a sales guy there that really wanted to push performance cars to the young guys. He let him buy the Biscayne with basically no money down and not much of a job. He traded in a '66 BB Vette as the only form of collateral. There was a 2nd '68 L-72 Biscayne that also came out of Jay-Shon. It was ordered to compete with mine apparently. It was gray, and virtually identical to mine except that it didn't have door frame bright work.

I've talked to the son of the original owner of the dealership. I'm patiently waiting on word back about any old paperwork that may be in a storage facility that they maintain. X your fingers ......

I own the 68 L-79 nova that Tommy K used to own that was sold at Jay Shon. Just started restoring it and dont know too much about it. It has alot of documentation including the sales reciept. The salesmans name was Shuff. Casey pm me your address and I will send you copys of the things I have.

I took a pic of a mid 60's Chevrolet shortbed in West Seattle last year. This dealer emblem is what caught my eye. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...64_480x640.jpg

Re: Jay-Shon Chevrolet in Sioux Falls, SD
 

I'd love to know the backstory that took her from Sioux Falls to Seattle. Excellent picture.
