Pittsburgh, PA Chevrolet Dealer Info Wanted

[Supercar_Kid]

Kenny Ross Chevrolet is alive and well, but no longer on Western Ave. They are one of Western PA's largest Chevrolet dealers, KR also has several Ford dealerships as well. I just saw an ad for them in the Post Gazette last week, with a crazy statistic of something like "one car sold every 17 minutes of every work day." That may give you an idea of the kind of numbers they do. They have over 1500 cars on their lot at any given time. As far as old paperwork, dealership emblems, or memorabilia and the sort may go, that stuff is all long gone. I contacted them about 2 years ago when I was looking for a die-cast Kenny Ross badge, as I've made a hobby out of collecting local Chevy dealer stuff for awhile now, unfortunately I came up empty in the Kenny Ross department. I can't say I've even seen many Kenny Ross emblems on old cars in the area either. It may be tough to locate any vintage stuff from this dealer, as I'd assume if it would turn up anywhere it would be right here in my neck of the woods. I have located a few items from "Bud Donahue Chevrolet" that was located on Craft Avenue in Oakland, right near the University of Pittsburgh campus. And some other stuff from "Schreiber Chevrolet" that was near Kennywood Park, if anyone's familiar with the Pittsburgh area. Anyone have cars from either of these two dealers?

I know it's been a long time, but I thought Kenny Ross was on Baum Blvd in East Liberty, or "E Sliberty" as we used to call it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I remember taking off the cast badge when I got the car. They had drilled two small holes in the tail panel to install it.

I live within a stones throw of a Kenny Ross ford dealership in Pittsburgh south hills. My dad ordered our first camaro from Kenny Ross in 1967, when we went to pick up the car up my dad was furious that it had dealership badges on it, he said he wasn't advertising for them unless he was paid so they removed them. Now if he would have just went to the dealership down the road the other way I may have ended up with the only Yenko sold with out badges

I just bought a 1966 Corvette that was sold new at Kenny Ross Chevrolet. Pretty cool sticker they put on the backside of the glove box door.
