Tag was raised and is now the Location of the Clay Center in Charleston. All that remains is a radio jingle w/ Lloyd Bridges...

Thanks Sam!


Here is some modern era Dean stuff. The West Palm dealer was a sponsor for the Gator Nats and also sponsored a TA/FC for Bartone.


Here is a Crew shirt and a Die cast FC, They know High Performance!

Met Tony Bartone at ProStart Race Cars. The Funny Car was there for some updates while Kurt had my Super Comp Z-34 Lumina on the jig being built. Funny guy!

----When did Dean have his dealership in Athens (my old college town, Ohio U., from 66 thru 69)???......Bill S

Not sure when the whole Ford thing went away...but it did. He was in Charleston, and West Palm with Chevrolet in 65.

Surprising because he made a lot of money thru financing since he owned the finance company. His Linc-Merc dealers did really well.

Bill, I can't believe the amount of Dealers you remember. Your mind is a steel trap!

Here is a pair of shots from Athens. The first is the building prior to opening day, this was taken in 1946. The second was after taken in 1947.

Here's where I think it gets interesting...

Dean opened a new Dealer in Columbus in 1955 with a price tag of a Million dollars...Huge. Then, I found a ad for his Ohio Chevrolet dealership in 1956....I think it was the Columbus location??? What happened to Ford?
