Re: Fleet Chevrolet
I've seen a few cars that were sold new from there.
I believe they're defunct today. Here is what I have on them from some 1970 paperwork. Fleet Chevrolet 684 MacQuesten Pkwy. Mt Vernon,NY. Zone 2 Dealer 217

Re: Fleet Chevrolet
I remember Pepitone from when he was with the Cubs...
Fergie Jenkins, Don Kessinger, Glenn Beckert, Ron Santo, Ernie Banks, Rick Monday, Jose Cardenal et al. Those were the days...

I looked forward to my 10th Birthday because I got to go to the New Car Showing at the local Chevy Dealer. I still have (somewhere  )the Promo model they gave out that night......... a '57 Sport Sedan in Colonial Cream/Laurel Green.
