[Mr70]

At Super Chevy Indy,I saw a 1970 Chevelle with a metal "ChevyLand" emblem on the trunk.I thought it was from Illinois???

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!

Thanks!! I wonder if they sold any COPO's or (gulp) Yenkos or ZL-1's??

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.

I would guess mid 1950's-1960's,as it does resemble some of the other salesmans awards/Dealer handouts from back then.But it could be retro too?Your pictures a lil fuzzy.
Look on the bottom for date code markings.
Should be something like //// ||
