I WAS READING A BALDWINMOTION WEBSITE AND IT MENTIONED A WILLIAMS CHEV IN THE ARTICLE. MY 70 CHEVELLE WAS PURCHASED FROM A HM WILLIAMS CHEV IN JACKSON HEIGHTS NY IN 70. ANYONE HAVE ANY INFO ON HM WILLIAMS CHEV OR WHAT KIND OF WORK IT DID WITH MOTION PERF.

THIS IS THE WEBSITE WITH THE MENTIONING OF WILLIAMS CHEV.. I HAD EMAILED J. ROSEN A WHILE BACK AND HE SAID HE THOUGHT THERE WAS ONLY 1 WILLIAMS CHEV IN THE AREA. BUT THAT WAS AS FAR AS I GOT THANKS

The Williams Chevrolet in Baldwin (formerly Baldwin Chevrolet) must've been very short lived. I remember Lyon Chevrolet in the early seventies until it closed. These were the names of the same single Chevrolet Dealership on Merrick Road in Baldwin. As far as the dealership in Jackson Heights is concerned I can not say if the two were ever connected.

Hey Chris...what about "Hasay Chevrolet"...know anything about that one? I owned a Cortez Silver '69 Chevelle, originally an L78/M40/4.10 combo, that had a build sheet from Hasay...car was beautiful with it's blue vinyl top & guts, and was original with only 30k miles on...the interesting part was, though, that it had a '69 512 block'd 427 in it, with a tired Motion sticker in the quarter glass...

Here is the current listing from Chevrolet, it can't hurt to give them a call!!

HASAY CHEVROLET, INC.
RTES 11 & 239
SHICKSHINNY , PA 18655 -0024

Phone: (570 ) 542-4153
Fax: (570 ) 542-4749



I have never heard of that name on Long Island. The only place I recall even close to "Hasay" was a "Hassel Motors" but with a name like that I believe they sold 4NJUNK.

What was Baldwin Chevrolet became Valley Stream Chevrolet soon there after. I don't recall that there was a dealer in between?

H.M. Williams Chevrolet, Dealer Zone Code 27-283 was in Corona, New York. (I am told the H might be for Hudstadt? )

The Vitar Copo 9561 Camaro race car we have for sale, was delivered to that dealer on March 18th 1969. The original owner said that he drove it 21 miles to his shop at 9226 Ave. D, Brooklyn, New York.

How accurate was his recollection after more than three decades?

P.S. I know of a very cool 1974 Vega which has a lot of Motion and Don Hardy parts on it, which was originally White on White I believe?

Chris: dug out my copy of the buildsheet, and that corner is torn...all I can make is...

HASAY [then a chunk is gone] INC
ROUTES [chunk gone]
SHIC [chunk gone again!]

So, I'd say your right on with the Shickshinny, PA, address...oh well, still a cool car, that I wish I had back!

Baldwin Chevrolet was never Valley Stream Chevrolet. Valley Stream Chevrolet still exists it is three towns to the west (in Valley Stream), also on Merrick Road. Baldwin Chev became Williams, (without initials) then Lyons Chevrolet until it closed. It is now a drug store or something. Ironically the neighborhood did not stay forgotten for too long as Joey Buttafucco's First Class Auto Body is just down the block.
