Ok then it has to be the former Ed Newman Chevrolet, which was located at 1211 Hanover Ave. I have a document from a 1966 from there, so they must have changed owners sometime between 66 and 69. Sorry I don't have any info about Boody for you..

I'm also in the area, and it's off 22, south on Airport Rd a few miles. You make a left on Hanover Ave. and the dealership is/was on the LH side. As of a few years ago there was still a Chevy dealer there, but not sure if it's the same building or not. They were gone before I came to the area 20 years ago.

There is still a Chevy dealer located at 1211 Hanover Ave in Allentown. It is now called Sands Chevy. It was something else just a few years ago, but I can't remember the name. Not sure how long ago the Booty name changed.
