Fleet Chevrolet
 

Anyone ever hear of Fleet Chevrolet in Mount Vernon NY? Saw an old ride last week with a sticker from there

Re: Fleet Chevrolet
 

I've seen a few cars that were sold new from there.
I believe they're defunct today.
Here is what I have on them from some 1970 paperwork.
Fleet Chevrolet
684 MacQuesten Pkwy.
Mt Vernon,NY. Zone 2 Dealer 217

Back in the late 70's Fleet Chevrolet was one of my accounts...sold them printing and business forms. Tough neighborhood https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif..they had an in with the NY Yankees..lots of ball players got cars there. I think Joe Pepitone was a regular there...

I remember Pepitone from when he was with the Cubs...

Fergie Jenkins, Don Kessinger, Glenn Beckert, Ron Santo, Ernie Banks, Rick Monday, Jose Cardenal et al.

Those were the days... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
