No Verne. The dealer did not become Fencl Tufo till I believe 1968.

The name of the dealership sounds weird.

Mr. Ed's brother Bobby has a pin that he used to wear on his suit that said "Whats a Fencl Tufo?" I am doing my best at trying to pry it out of his hands!

The owners names were Dick Fencl & John Tufo

It was actually 68 Dave. They had no records for 1967 cars.

Very cool Kurt. Actually that was a different dealership all together. Dick Fencl the owner ended up selling that dealership shortly after that car was sold. He bought interest in Fencl Tufo Chevrolet in 1967.
