Trivia questions:

Hmmm...

1) Where did Peyton Cramer move from?

He was Shelby American's General Manager before working at Dana

2)How did he derive the name 'Dana' for the dealership?

It was named after a street...I would presume it had to do with Dana Point, Ca (John Henry Dana...that whole deal)

3) What was the name of the dealership before they bought it? Southland Chevrolet A guess...I know it's wrong!

Not Bad!!

I believe the street name of Dana was from Cramer's hometown in Ohio. The dealership was indeed Enoch Chev. and that awesome Z11 is fully restored and in a fine collection in PA.
