Ellis Brooks Chevrolet San Francisco

[Motorhead848]

I have a 69z I just finished that came from Ellis brooks. The original sign from the building popped up for sale in Fresno last year. Was real tough to pass that up. I bought a pair of NOS frames from a gentlemen who sold stuff at the local Bay Area swap meets. But he passed about two years ago. I’ve never seen the dealer badge. But I’ve seen other frames over the years. They are out there. Good luck!

Wow!!! I'd love to have one of the Neons. I think I knew the same License Plate guy you're referring to. Jim I believe? Strange Brooks was installing dealer emblems, not too common in California.

Yup, Jim was his name. I couldn’t remember. The sign that was forsale was the “ok” sign. In recent pictures you see the same age spots so it was def the one from the building. My car was a late June of 69 and did not receive a dealer badge.

OH man... The OK is so cool. The predecessor to the "certified" label manufactures have today.

As previously mentioned, my late 66 car got the emblem. I looked at a picture of my tail panel before body work and the holes were in a diagonal line, just like the studs on the emblem in the picture I attached.
