$122.95 for an AM radio & antenna in 1957 was a very pricey option!

Default O’Rielly Chevrolet Tucson Arizona



Here’s a few O’Rielly Newspaper Ads and more, lots exist from earlier years but seems less later.
Note the picture w/ employees including Bill Edel in the July Christmas ad from 07/57.
No luck w/ specific ads for the ’57 or Yellow ‘69 SS396, there was Green also Red 396 Coupes listed plus the White 396/M40 as below, what’s your other O’Rielly car Joe?
Have fun at the show!

~ Pete

The pic of the new truck center is so clear. What a modern design and huge space for display and service for that era.
Would be cool to know if any of those trucks are still in the area. The Cameo would be a hard sought after vehicle now.
My eyes were drawn to the stake bed. Be a cool ramp/roll back unit...

Wow, that last picture shows some awesome cars and a custom mid-year Vette around 1968 is pretty epic.

Lots of Old Newspaper Ads w/ your Dad and Grandfather’s Automobile operations have been scanned into the AZ Newspaper archives.
Here’s a few examples below also I’ll shoot some more through to you in a PM.
