By 1957 he was in Charleston selling Chevrolets...with His Red Coats & Red Carpet Deals..




By 1963 He was in Huntington WV...Here is a 64 Promo record from Dean...




By 1965 He was in West Palm, Fla....Loaded with more Corvettes...



And in the 1980's he was still proud to sell Corvettes...

The local "street guy's / racers" in WV had a interesting acronym for FORD after many were beat by a Dean Chevrolet....I swear I've heard this from several different locals...FU&K Ol' ROGER DEAN!

I've heard stories about them lining up on the downtown streets and getting into stop light races with another local Mopar dealer while they were trying to do Demo's. Anything to lure a potential customer to Dean's lot.

Hope you enjoyed a bit of History on one of the unsung greats from the day. I'm always looking for more info... hint hint [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

I've been looking for a new trailer and don't need to be hasseled by Troopers after hearing so many towing stories . So, I figured it was time to weigh the Camaro. Headed down to the certified scales and got an actual curb weight. With 3/8 tank of fuel, American Mags, and no driver it came in @ 3440 lbs. Surprisingly a bit higher than I estimated. With me in it...yikes. Options like A/C &amp; 8-trk can pack on the pounds!

Scored a few neat Dean items for the Camaro. A fellow sYc member and great friend Woj was in West Palm and picked these up for me. Still owned by the Dean family, and as close as I can get to the old Charleston dealership. Same logo since at least 1953, plate frames and stickers...Thank you Phil!

Thanks Rich!

Went to the NEOCC Camaro show last weekend at Summit Racing...Best time there in years. I think the weather helped.

Picked up a Scott S. Award.....Pretty cool!
