A while back on Team Chevelle I asked for any info on Vern Trider. One member in Garden Grove thought that the current Anaheim Chevy, located on 215 S. Euclid St., was previously Woody Chevy and then Vern Trider prior to that. However, when I contacted someone at Anaheim Chevy, they said that the dealership used to be called Southland Chevy.

Let's see if I can help you out...
It was all of those above at the 215 S. Euclid location

I think Cone Bros was on Anaheim Blvd...near old downtown Anaheim...there was a sucession of dealerships that used that address...Cone Bros, Hardin Olds before they moved elsewhere. That location was a few used car lots while I was in high school...and the eventually became BB&H Auto parts (they had a full service engine shop) That's where I had my Novas big block hot tanked, bored, etc....

I lived in Anaheim from 1973-2002...and a few times before that. I lived about 1 1/2 miles from Vern Trider/Southland/Woody/Anaheim Chevrolet. There's a great mexican food restaurant about a block away called MexiCasa....

I worked at Hardin Olds on Anaheim Blvd...after they moved to their more recent location.

My best friends mom still lives in her house less than two blocks from the 215 S. Euclid location...
