Default Southern CA dealership help!!

Hello everyone I'd like to introduce myself I am new to yenko.net but have been a camaro guy for a few years now. Got hooked on super cars when got a chance to attend the muscle car nationals in Chicago this past year. I am from North Carolina so am unfamiliar with the west coast. I recently purchased a 69 camaro LM1 that was build in Van Nuys and stayed in that vicinity it's whole life until coming to NC. I spoke with the original owner a few days ago and he told me that he bought the car in Brea CA but could not remember the name of the dealership.The only dealership I could find was Guardian Chevrolet. Does anyone know of any other dealerships in the Brea CA area. Thanks in advance!

Isn't it La Brea? Or is that just a street in LA?

Welcome Mike! I didn't grow up in SoCal so my history on dealers is very limited. Dana who goes by 427freak might have an idea since he lives farther South than I do.

la brea is the la brea tar pits in los angeles where they have saber tooth tiger bones and other things they dug up.

it's a fun place to visit just down the street from the peterson auto museum.

Thanks guys! Any dealership info on Guardian chevy would be appreciated. Does anyone know if it's still in operation and if not when did it shut down? Anyone have any memorabilia?

Guardian ran from 59 to the mid seventies, they sold a few HI-Po cars back in the day. There's a nice o.g. frame on ebay right now ,not for the timid

street view from the mid sixties with a mid year on the point ( paging Mr Blythe)
