COPO camaros that came out of Byrne Bros.

[supersport69]

What's in the spot now where the dealership used to be? I remember Byrne Chevrolet in the late 80's in Mt. Kisco. Which is now Mt. Kisco Chevy. Any relation?

Byrne Bros. Chevy was on Virginia Rd in White plains, right off the Bronx River Pkwy.. That was J.V. and Howard Byrne..the Mt. Kisco store was on the corner of 117(Bedford rd) near the Sawmill River Pkwy. That dealership was owned by thier nephew Tim Byrne..it was called T.A. Byrne Chevrolet..There was also another Byrne location in Mt. Kisco prior to Tim's store. Byrne Bros. went out of business around 83-84 and Tim kind of absorbed the customers until he finally went under and the factory took over. I guess it has been caled Mt. Kisco Chevrolrt since then. Soundview Chevrolet was on the Boston Post Rd. (US 1)in Mamaroneck, NY...dealers name was Bucky Kalinski(I think). I remember the heyday of Byrne Bros. in White Plains, they had it going on. Jerry Roberts was in charge of HI-PERF parts.. he eventually moved to T. A. when BB went out....Chevy was king back then, but some guys selling Hondas kind of pushed them out.

Funny you brought this up Tom, yesterday while at a local metal shop in White Plains, I started talking cars with the owner. He is a nice older man who has owned the metal shop since the 1960s. Just so happens he took delivery of serial number 49/300 1953 Corvette Convertible from Bryne Brother's. He has all the paper work in his house (so he claims). Malcome Koner in NJ (couple years back) and he wanted something $150,000 at the time. Its a far cry from the $2,500 he originally bought it for.
