WTB J. B. Shaver memorabilia and dealer emblem

[SS427]

I am looking for late 60's or early 70's dealer memorabilia, especially a dealer emblem from J.B. Shaver Motors, 3600 Broadway, Gary, Indiana. Please PM me with anything you may have. Thank you,
Rick

Rick,

From the web:





Also, from Corvette Club News....after searching the net-looks like Mike may live out here now?





Finally the street view...now a Rally's drive thru [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Thanks Bruce. I had not seen the newspaper clipping but did see the Corvette Club info and Rally's now being there.

Besides Shaver Chevrolet, best always make sure to search other combos too...Shaver Chev, Shaver Chevy, Shaver Motors etc.
Searching 'Shaver Chevy' yielded the below pics, the first one on eBay @ this link...

Good idea Pete. Normally I would have though that way but had a brain fade on this one. Thanks for the reminder.

Pretty certain I have an original Shaver decal.

That would be cool!

Rick,
I think with what Pete posted you have what your looking for. If you look at the classified articles the first one right bottom corner, which is also on the top center of the same page there is what appears to be the dealership logo. That could have been their dealership decal. The second article also has one but in a different version. Just an idea of getting one of those reproduced if Scuncio can't locate his. Dave

Different operation and style but there's a Berman/Shaver Racine WI decal on eBay @ this link...

Dave may be correct and the Gary location decals as the big S logo below but nice to find examples to confirm size and trimmed or square edges etc also years used?
The prices on the Shaver Performance Equipment list above may seem cheap now but it was a lot of ca$h back then!

I saw that but both ads are for 1975 vehicles whereas the first one 'might' be a 69 clipping and that has a different logo. I was trying to confirm what year they may have changed the style before I buy Scuncio's decal though I likely will anyway just because. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]
