Your memory is excellent, Paul

Yes, I remember those dealerships well. Ed Fanning Chevy had a lot of hi-performance Chevys back in those days. They had a Citrus green 70 Z28 on the showroom floor that I wanted with a passion....payment was gonna be $140/mo. and I was convinced I couldn't swing it. Bought a new Hugger Orange 307 Nova instead, payment was $77/mo. .....and I wound up making double payments on it every month
Both the Dodge dealer down the street and the Chrysler-Plymouth dealer across the street from Ed Fanning had winged cars sitting around for many many months. Couldn't get rid of em to save their souls. I remember the Dodge dealer also had a new 69 Hemi Super Bee still on the lot in the fall of 70 when the new 71's were out

It was the ugliest shade of tan you'd ever want to see

which I'm sure didn't help its chances of selling.
Congrats again on maintaining that bronze Chevelle in such superb condition
