Re: Detroit Guys: Jim Funston or Merollis Info?
That's a neat picture. I love that Corvette Bronze '67 RS Z/28. What's goin' on with that vinyl top? It kinda looks like one of those Mod Tops from Chrysler. By the way, we even had a Merollis Chevrolet here in St. Louis that sold performance cars back then also. When I first seen the ZL-1 list, I kinda wondered if it was supposed to be he Merollis in St. Louis.

Re: Detroit Guys: Jim Funston or Merollis Info?
The 'Mod Topper' had a fancy top installed by Reasonable Trim which was across Gratiot Ave. from Funston Chev. It was a sales promo thing.
I don't know who the driver was on the Z.

Re: Detroit Guys: Jim Funston or Merollis Info?
For those of you who grew up in Detroit...
You probably remember this jingle for Merollis Chevrolet:  "Gene Merollis, what a GREAT, GREAT Guy!" Click here to listen to the radio commercials from 1967

Re: Detroit Guys: Jim Funston or Merollis Info?
That particular jungle is from Gene Merollis Chev. in Garden City, MI. It was the "Other" Merollis Chevy. I think it is closed now. There were two of them in the Detroit area. The one I am near is in Eastpointe (Formerly East Detroit) MI. It is still in business. It was always known as just plain Merollis Chevy. No relation at all between the two dealerships.
