Come on guys....I thought someone would be able to figure out the dealer. It had a silver and a blue sister car DRIVEN from the Hurst warehouse to the dealership. This car is NOT on the list of known cars. It is a Citrus Green car.

actually, upon further review it looks like they have two of those fluorescent chevy light hanging from the ceiling. the ones that say "camaro", "chevy II" or "chevelle"
they usually have the metal sides with the plastic front. that plastic usually tended to get brittle over the years. anyway,
the sign on the left has the chevy bulb working, and the sign on the right has the "velle" light working

If it's a pic from the original selling dealer, (which is appears to be due to the window sticker still being affixed), I'd narrow it down to where the 10 were sold as follows:

Thorstad - possible

Colonial - unlikely, they sold 2, I don't think they had a red brick bldg

Fencl - unlikely, they sold a white stripe car

Lehman - possible, they sold 2, both were black striped

Wolf - possible,

Minneman - possible,

Riley - unlikely, they sold a white stripe car

since Wolf is a possibility, maybe i can do some driving around downtown belvidere and do some investigating....the building they're in now is new and not far from where they were in 1924 when they started selling cars........

I sure don't think it's Colonial. Their old building was completely white in 1968. Check out the pics from my visit to Colonial
Plus it's a heck of a haul from Warminster with 4.10 gears.

Sorry Marlin it is not any of the dealers you listed. If all of those dealers sold a CG car and there were SUPPOSED to be only 10 built, then we have just blown that theroy.
Brian

P.S.-Study the list and then look at my post about the 79 Yenko and you will have your answer!!
