Grant,
I don't know if there is any family relationship between the two dealerships....probably just coincidence. Pete, 1252 N. Lake St. would be the correct address for Ed Fanning in Aurora IL from around 1963 until they went belly-up in the early to mid 1980's. Prior to that they were located at 230 S. Broadway in Aurora. And you're right, they sold a LOT of performance cars in the 60's and early 70's. They also sponsored a 70 LS6 Chevelle which was raced at the local drag strip (Oswego Drag Raceway) and was driven by their parts manager, Art (his last name escapes me at the moment).

Grant,
The car came to the Chicago area when I bought it in 1996. It was one of the best driving Camaros I've ever owned. Unfortunately business needs required it had to go. Dana Mecum bought the car from me a year or so later. I did see the car for sale in Hemmings in '98 or so at a dealership in Florida. I remember talking to the dealership because they had it advertised as a 10,000 mile car. Someone had lost all the paperwork that was with the car showing mileage over the years. The original slightly worn carpet had also been replaced. It still was mostly original paint. I haven't heard about the car since. I'll see if I can find it. Mark |

Hello Mark,
Thanks for the info! I believe it was you that called me right after you bought the car to ask about its history. I remember hearing about and seeing the car advertised online as a low-mileage car. I think it had around 80K when my friend bought it in the early 80's and around 100K when I sold it in '89. It sure was a nice driving car and it sounded great too. Keep me posted... Thanks! |
