Here's a cool PA dealer badge...they're still alive and well too. LVCamaro may recognize this one. Lafferty [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Dealer in Jamestown NY, part of the Yenko network... anyone know what supercars if any, were sold new here? Almost looks like these were made by the same place that made the "Motion" emblems, doesn't it? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Are you sure?
Berglund Chevrolet is located today in Roanoke Va.,and has been there for the last 35 years.They have other Dealership branches in other locatons,but none of them are or were located in Jamestown,NY.back then.
I have seen your emblem put on Cars sold out of Berglund in Va.in the past.

Kind of like Berger Chevrolet , I have a match book cover that shows Berger Chevrolet but out of MN not Mich. Doubt they were connected though.

Maybe I have the location incorrect, I do know Bergland was listed in the Yenko Network, I will have to check where they list the location when i get home... Anyone own a Yenko sold new here?

I do show Berglund in Jamestown NY. in the Yenko network too.I was not questioning that,but rather if this specific Emblem indeed came from that specific location?
You would think if there were two identical Chevrolet dealership names in the country at that time,they would cast their location in the emblem. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

There have been a couple of similar dealer decals that have been posted here in this thread. For one their is the Jack Douglass and Jack Phelan Chevrolet decals which Shor and I posted in the first page of this thread that are very similar to each other. I also noticed the Wallace Chevy and the Ron Rice decals are similar also.

Here are a couple of cool ones that I have that are very similar as well. This one is a NOS vintage decal from the old Chicago Chevy dealer Ferrell Hicks Chevrolet that was located at 5727 S. Ashland in Chicago IL. This decal was from the 60's-70's.

Here is the other that is VERY similar. Bill Jacobs Chevrolet is still located in Joliet, IL which is about 35 miles out side Chicago. They do huge business in new Corvette sales today. They were roumored to have been a supercar dealer that sold both Yenko and Dick Harrell cars. This dealer decal is NEW but they have been EXACTLY the same since at least the late 60's. I saw an original owner family 69 Nova SS L78 4 speed last summer at the Joliet cruise night. The original decal was still on the back of the car and was identical besides the usual age wear.

The Ferrell Hicks and Bill Jacobs decals are even almost the same exact size. They are the same length wise but the Ferrell Hicks is a tad bigger width wise. They are also both printed on reflective sheeting.

BTW Marlin please help me with that info! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img]

Here is an ad that I got from the Dick Harrell website originally posted by Valerie Harrell. It is from Drag World 6/19/70 and lists Bill Jacobs Chevrolet in Joliet as a dealer.

I am in the process of researching Bill Jacobs and will let everybody know the outcome.
