Rapid Chevrolet, Rapid City, SD
 

Does anyone know where I could locate a dealer emblem or license plate frame for this dealer? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Give them a call and ask for the parts dept. I'm sure they'll help you out.

Thanks Jim,
I've actually called the dealer a couple times before and whoever I managed to get haven't been that helpful. I was offering a reward for the original deal package for my car. Never tried the parts department before however.

I bought a couple of C5 vetts from Rapid Chevrolet. I'll be over in Rapid City in a couple of weeks, if you can't get any help, let me know and I'll stop by there. I bet they did away with the emblem and went to a vinyl logo. I'm sure I could get a license plate frame also.

Juliosz,
Do you own the copo camaro they sold new?Earl

Earl,
No I don't. But I do own a 68 Z delivered by them in May 68. Don't know much about the dealer itself. Were they known back in the day for delivering a lot of hi-po chevy's? If they did it would make sense since they are close to Ellsworth AFB. The original owner of my car was stationed there at the time.

Thanks
Paul

Thanks Earl,
I've heard there's some good salvage yards in SD. I'll make it there one of these days. I'd like to meet the original owner of my car in person.

Do you happen to know the name of the guy who bought your Z new? I have a friend that bought a 1968 Z28 brand new from Rapid City. It was a green one.
