Camarojoe created a monster!

I developed a new appreciation for people that collect stuff like this. Unlike general Chevrolet stuff, dealer specific memorabilia is VERY hard to find especially when you limit it to just one city and the immediate surrounding area. The NOS dealer decals are definitely the hardest items to find. Unlike emblems that you can find in a junk yard it is very hard to find dealer decals that have NOT been stuck on a car. About 98% of Chicago area dealers used decals after the 1950's.

SORRY to hijack this thread! Tom, I think this would be a very cool thing to do since a good majority of the sYc members are from around the Chicago area. We also had some of the most noted dealers in our back yard!

..... Maybe in the coming years, SCR could have a whole end dedicated to peoples private collections of this sort of stuff. That would be pretty

Sounds good.. Helen and Annie could bring some Gibb stuff, I have a little bit of Yenko stuff and know a couple of folks who could bring along some Harrell stuff.

My mother would shop at the Jewel Food Store next to Suniday and would leave me by the fenced gate behind the service department so I could watch, hear and identify the Muscle cars, while she shopped. Lots of day two style cars.

The Old Location in now a US post Office. The Dealership was moved to Route 41 and became C-Frank Chevrolet, named for Chuck the Son of Zollie Frank, of Z-Frank Chevy in Chicago.

Chuck sold the dealership in 1992 to the Muller Auto Group. They moved the location and Muller Chevrolet is Still there today.

Suniday and Z-Frank were very high volume dealerships and sold many Corvettes and Muscle cars.

How many other Fencl Tufo deuces are around besides Engler's, and Hornbeck's?

I think a Chicago theme feature would be a great idea if Mopars are allowed maybe I could also bring along the Mr Norms six pack Challenger.

Yes John...your Norms 6 pak is invited along with your JD Yenko...
