Re: Fencil Tuffo and Berganse Chevrolet
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.

Re: Fencil Tuffo and Berganse Chevrolet
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.

Re: Fencil Tuffo and Berganse Chevrolet
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 !

Re: Fencil Tuffo and Berganse Chevrolet
From paperwork I've seen in the last few years and having spent 30 years on the Nothwest side of Chicago, I know there was one Chevy dealer in Oak Park on Madison between Austin and Oak Park Ave, maybe the 500-600 block but I personally don't remember it or the name. There was also a dealer on North Ave. within the city limits around 5200-5600 West. There is a member of the NCRS who bought his '57 fuely (and still owns it) from this dealer but I believe he said it closed/moved sometime in the 60's. Could one of these be Brigance?
