Default Re: Paul Dehnert's Killer 1966 396/375 Chevelle!

Hey Bill, thanks for the nice comments. I notice you're from North Aurora....I lived in Aurora from 1966 though 1972, my first job out of school working for IBM.

I have very fond memories of the area in that I bought my first new car, a '66 Impala SS (396 with THM), and in 1970 I walking into Ed Fanning Chevrolet and bought a new Z28 off the showroom floor.

In their indoor showroom Ed Fanning had a about a dozen LS6's, including at least one convertible and 8 or 10 Z28's. Quite a sight, still etched in my memory. Also, down the street the Dodge dealer had a red Hemi Daytona that took about 18 months to sell. That car sat outside right though the winter!
