[1969L78Nova]

My 1969 L78 Nova was sold by Rapids Chevrolet in Cedar Rapids. The dealer is now called Pat McGrath Chevyland.
Anyone have a dealer emblem of Rapids Chev???

Just picked this up. Anyone hear of SMITH Chevrolet??

[Mr70]

I have in the Past.I know they were located in Western Ohio,and sold a considerable amount of Corvettes.I remember reading about them in some magazines and being referred to as "Little Detroit".It's funny you bring this up,as I just won this on Ebay. WHAT A PLACE!

Just liberated an NOS refillable lighter with an enamel facing from a guy who collects cigerette lighters. It has light blue enamel with a dark blue bow tie and in the center reads "Courtesy Chevrolet". Also has "courtesy" engraved in the top as well. The wick has never been lit on it.

Courtesy Chevy must have had some $$$ back in the day as this is a nice piece. Sales award perhaps? Any ideas?

Here is a Picture. Cannot use a flash as the enamel just reflects back.
