Dale Earnhardt Chev. was not in business in the sixties. He built that dealership after he had won several championships. Just a an interest story, the mgr. of the Dales's chevrolet dealership owned a small used car business in Concord. Dale ask to borrow a car to drive to Daytona and promised to repay him if he ever made it in racing. When he built the dealership, he gave him the Mgr's position. Kevin

Yes, that is my understanding of how Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet came into existence as it is known today.
In his youth, Dale was impressed that high performance cars and parts could be purchased from a local Chevy dealership. He had heard of Yenko, Motion, etc and wanted to carry on their tradition. Unfortunately, his tragic death ended his vision.
