Cordia Chevrolet Clymer, NY
 

Does anyone have a car from this small performance oriented dealer in western New York? My friends 69 sYc Camaro he bought new and still has came from there. I would like to hear from anyone with a Cordia Chevrolet 'Home of the Fast Traks" car.

Wasn't Jere Stahl's 57 chevy from Cordia Chevrolet? I think the late Laverne Benner drove it.

Hello George,
I have a few questions about the car.
What is the paint color ?
What type of the transmission ?
When was the car built?
Thank you,
Drew Papsun

George, I am pretty sure the car was from Yenko, but sponsored by Cordia...BKH

Re: Cordia Chevrolet Clymer, NY
 

The owner did in fact pick up the car himself in Canonsburg with another buddy of mine but the sale went from Yenko to Cordia to the retail customer. The car was downtown that night drawing a crowd..........I'll never forget it, only one in our town in the flesh. That was the only summer the car was ever really on the street. Life after that season was 1/4 mile at a time.
And yes, the Stahl '57 150 Sedan was with Cordia. How about this, absolute truth: that car still exists just as it was when raced. Hell yes I've tried. Cordia, Stahl and Jenkins go waaaaaaaay back.

I didn't realize all those years that that car (57 chevy) was borrowed from Cordia and went back when Stahl/Benner were done with it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

I believe the inventory sheets say Cordia as well, I can't remember where the b/w photos were from - charles gilchrist archives maybe?
