Rogers Chevrolet Rantoul, IL
 

Zone 11 Dealer 463. Appears to be still in business. Anyone have more info or contacts there?

They sold some Deuces.....

Have you had any contact with them?
They possibly might have been the ordering dealer of a '66 L72 Corvette that I've been researching.
I'm not surprised they dealt with some muscle. Chanute AFB was close by.

I do know that Ernie Roger's Chevrolet had a Red Deuce w/white stripes ... as I remember it was sold to a female. Have no idea where the car went from there. At one time there were three Deuces running around Rantoul -- the red Deuce mentioned above, one was a dark green w/white stripes (belonged to a Mark McDonald) and the Cortez Silver that I owned. Have tried to chase down the green Deuce with no luck -- seems Mark McDonld passed and the last I heard his dad had the car in a barn/shed there but could not varify that.

We have Yenko's inventory notation for the red deuce, but it has never surfaced. I have heard the story of a female buying it new though, so thanks for the additional confirmation.

We did not know that Rodgers also sold a dark green and a silver one. That would make perfect sense though as most dealers received at least 3 deuces as their initial order.

If someone has title search capability in IL, try running down the Red one; VIN = 114270W350960.

Someone should also try to run down the FG story.
