Baldwin Chev moved to its new location on Central ave on Jan 19 1952(grand opening) from Milburn ave ,also in Baldwin. The Baldwin Auto Co had been selling chevys since the mid 1920's.
HM Williams took over in Baldwin on Sept 4 1973(grand opening) after moving from Jackson Heights, Queens. HM Williams began selling chevys back in 1953. Before that they sold Studebakers and Pierce Arrow in Manhattan on Broadway. After leaving Baldwin in mid 1976, they moved out to Smithtown, Long Island. It remained Williams Chev until 2006 when it was sold and became Smithtown Chev., which is now history.
Lion Chev had its grand opening on Oct 2, 1976 after opening sometime in early August. They were gone I think sometime in mid 1996, and I don't know what the heck happened to them after that. Yet.
