Broadway Chev

[Belair62]

Since we are on the emblem/sticker subject....does anyone know where I can find a V.V. Cook emblem/sticker or even know what it looks like ?

My LS-6 Convertible also came from Van Chevrolet. They were in Shawnee Mission, KS which is a suburb of Kansas City. Van Chev. was in Zone 5, Dealer #885 The original owner of my car still lives close to the dealership just across the line in MO. I'd sure like to have a Van Chevrolet emblem as well for my trunk lid.

I have two different types of Broadway Chev badges. I was told that the 1969 cars received the diecast badge while the 70's got plastic badges that were taped on. I think Broadway became a higher volume dealer in 70 and the plastic badges were cheaper. I know that Broadway sold two deuces a forest green one that has been found,and a Cortez Silver car that is still missing. I heard reports that this car somehow made it out Washington state. does anyone have any info on this car?

Gambitti;
Thorstad, (Hult), Chev. received at least two '70 Yenko Novas. One was Citrus Green, and the other was Sunflower Yellow, both were 4speeds and both have been found. These two cars were ordered by Thorstad on July 6, 1970 and were delivered on July 9, 1970.

As for Broadway, I know that the Forest Green Yenko Nova was YS-001. The cars appear to have received their stock numbers when they were shipped, not when they were built because this car was not the first car built, it was actually the 34th car built. Based on this stock number, it looks like Broadway was one of the first dealerships to receive these cars. I have also heard rumors about the silver car being in Washington, but have not been able to turn anything up. One of the Grossman Chev. silver cars ended up out there, it is now in Iowa.

Belair62, I just looked at the wrecked 1969 Red Yenko Chevelle, that was sold new, at V.V.Cook Chevy, it doesn't have any dealer ID Badge. Not saying they didn't use one, was just see if I could help you out.

Thanks for the info. Some of the Super Cars at Vettefest had the original dealer emblems on them. Would love to find one from VV Cook if they even used one.Anyone out west heard of Jack Head Chevrolet in Alhambra California ? Would like to find something from them too. I have seen a guy at local swap meet that has a lot of badges. He will probably be at Vettefest again. He has mostly midwest and some southern dealer badges. I'll see what I can dig up.

Someone has reproduced the Nickey dealer stickers. I've seen a vendor selling them at Chicago area swap meets.
