Bill Jacobs Chevrolet

[Mr70]

BTW~Bill Jacobs himself died about 3-4 years ago,and his wife was running the dealership since then,but later soon handed it over to her son,who in turn sold it last April,to the surprise of thousands.
It is now known as Hawk Chevrolet & Cadillac.
The Vcca has been having their annual GM parts swapmeet there for decades during mid January,which has always been an annual passing of winter for many of us.But the show has completely dissolved because of that sale,as the new owners want nothing to do with hosting a swapmeet.
This would've been the Vcca 43rd annual swapmeet.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

----I knew Billy pretty well. Hard guy to get to know. I was partially employed by Billy thru Classic Motors and completely restored a 150 Jag fixed head coupe that had absurdly low miles but had been stored badly. Also had many smaller projects over the years. Billy and my boss, Richard B, were very close friends as well. Underneath it all he was a very nice, very private family guy. His Dad would have been at the head of the dealership in the Yenko days and I never have known it to be a Yenko dealer for what it's worth. They may have done some dealer trading with Jack Douglass Chevrolet, but I don't remember them being close personally..........Bill S

---- I hadn't heard about the Dick H connection, but it makes sense. Oh,,,I spent many a winter Weekend day at BJs swap meet back in the day!!!!!!! I miss those days and the camaraderie! Anybody notice the misspelling of Camaro?????
