Hmmm...

1) Where did Peyton Cramer move from?

He was Shelby American's General Manager before working at Dana

2)How did he derive the name 'Dana' for the dealership?

It was named after a street...I would presume it had to do with Dana Point, Ca (John Henry Dana...that whole deal)

3) What was the name of the dealership before they bought it? Southland Chevrolet A guess...I know it's wrong!

It was formerly known as Enoch Chevrolet. They were one of the few dealerships to receive a 1963 Z-11 Impala. The car was dark green and the original driver was Richard Schroeder who went on to build and drive the Emergency West wheelstanders back in the eighties.

I would have never guessed that...

Hey Mark...I occasionally see the AWB Biscayne around Phoenix still. I have the owners name now, too! How about showing some pics of the cars you have???

------Last time I talked to Schroeder he was living up here in MI. I have lost track of him though. Had an extremely memorable dinner with him and some others in Vegas at SEMA one time. I still laugh thinking about it now. Much scotch consumed. He was an animal behind the wheel..........Bill S

I was just eating lunch at the kitchen table and reading Pat Ganahl's recent book on Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and I came upon these photos. Looks like a brand new '57 Chevy sold at Enoch Chevrolet in South Gate. I think that CA tab says 1957 and I'm pretty sure '57 stickers were red. Anyway, the particular chapter in the book covers the 1955-60 period of Roth's early pinstriping. At that time Roth's shop was located at 9001 Atlantic in South Gate. The guy laying tape on the trunk lid is Roth's older partner "The Baron."

Not Bad!!

I believe the street name of Dana was from Cramer's hometown in Ohio. The dealership was indeed Enoch Chev. and that awesome Z11 is fully restored and in a fine collection in PA.
