Jim Funston License plate frames
 
Does anyone know ware I could find a pair of Jim Funston License plate frames. From what I understand Funston Chevrolet has been out of business since the early to mid 70's. Any help would be appreciated John Q. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Jim Funston had a Chevrolet Dealership In Detroit Mich.
They also had a Hi-Perf Car sales area across Gratiot Av. 1/2 block away,seperate from the main dealership.
This area was called the "PitStop".It was one of the First Performance car sales centers in the country.
I have a great Color picture of a 1970 SS Chevelle taken on this lot with a picture of salesman Bill Barnwell showing a 1970 Chevelle Champagne Gold SS 396 to a perspective buyer.
I wish I could post Pict.

Just a note,You should have titled this topic,Jim Funston.You might have gotten more hits.
Rick (that can be done--HC)
