Fencl Tufo and Brigance Chevrolet

[hvychev]

At least a couple of Fencl family members must have been in the auto business.

This one is Ray Fencl Ford, Inc. Located on 418 W Burlington. Lagrange, ILL which was not that far from Oak Park where Dick Fencl and Fencl-Bogan were. This post card is from 1960.

Hi Tom, havent heard from you in a while. I am almost done restoring the LS6 maybe if your uncle is still around he can come and do the new car prep again.

John, Stefano, or anyone else, did Service Chevrolet on Harlem Ave. in Elmwood Park handle any hi-po cars? I just saw one of their dealer decals on a car the other day, but didn't have my dig camera with me. I remember driving by there several times a week in the '70s, but not much of a recollection as to details.

Dang...I lived near there for the first 8 years of my tender life !!!Wre you on the way to Johnnies Beef stand !!

[ChrisS]

Belair,
I don't remember knowing about Johnnie's (or even Gossage Grill for breakfast) until after high school. I was probably headed north on Harlem to the old Harlem-Irving Drive-In Theatre or to the roller rink for some "trolling".

Gossage Grill Did you mean The Hub on Harlem....!!!

[ChrisS]

The Hub, that's the one.
Did you get your headers and glass pacs installed at Iggy's?

No Service Chevy did not have many HI Po cars. I lived in Elmwood Park and went by there a lot I do not remember seeing many Hi Po cars. When they went out of business I bought most there parts stock at their auction.I used to work at Johnnies and also Cassidy Tire next to Gossage grill. I give Johnnies 4 stars and Gossage 1-1/2. CRUISING HARLEM THOSE WERE THE DAYS.
