Community Chevrolet Sales Inc., Berwyn, Illinois

Hi, this was my neighborhood dealership. Emil Bergl, founded Community Chevrolet located at 7025 W. Ogden Ave. in Berwyn which he owned from March 1950 through June 1970. The dealership then became Jack Phelan Chevrolet which stayed in the building that Bergl continued to own until October 1997 when Phelan built his own store at 4000 S. Harlem Ave. in Lyons, IL. I started my career in the car business at Jack Phelan Chevrolet in the old building and was there when we made the move to Lyons. I remember Emil Bergl coming into the dealership in early 1997 to switch out his demonstrator model that Phelan continued to give him as a perk. Emil Bergl died in 2002.
