Fencl-Tufo in Glendale Heights,Your Monster Dealer!
I remember those corny commercials in the late 70's.Using Monster puppets on TV.
I was constantly over their in High School where I bought my 1972 SS Chevelle.Those guys were nuts over there.They would do anything Hi-po that a customer wanted.Cash was king.
I have never heard of Berganse Chevrolet.Where were they?

That was Brigance Chevrolet.....were the heck were they ? Fencl also did an Elvis thing in their ads...Mancuso Chevrolet was also a pretty big dealer in the area and sold some hi-po stuff.A friend in High School had what I remember as a 1970 LT-1 Nova SS in Astro blue or whatever name they used for that color on Novas. I haven't seen him in years so I cant verify if it was a 70 or 71.

I am not certain as to the spelling. We are discussing the same dealership. I believe it was within the Chicago City limits. The neighborhood definately had an Italian flair, to say the least.

Does any one remember the 'Mr. Ed' advs., for all your hi-po needs? Mr. Ed handled all the "special orders". These orders also included any COPO orders.

According to Mr. Ed he ordered more than a few COPO Camaros, Chevelles and Novas.

Mr. Ed is a very successful Chevrolet Dealer today.

I was just at Johnnies last week. Make sure that you don't hold the door open while waiting in line or he'll yell at you !
