Jim Connell Chev in Cleveland

[427freak]

I never heard any more about this dealer. Sorry about that.

There was a Jim Connell Chevrolet in Anderson SC as well.

This was my Uncle's dealership. He moved from Cleveland to Anderson, SC in the late 60's/early 70's. His slogan was "the dealership with the big heart!".
Thanks.
