Thread: For the Die-hard Chevy guys

Tweet

This is for the true die-hard Chevy guys among us, a very good pictorial of a recently closed small town Chevy dealer in Alabama with decades of NOS parts, promotional items, and a few surprises. Wouldn't you like to be the new owner of all this stuff?

The article, the pictorial.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Mike. Places like that are truly rare in this day. When I moved to Bakersfield, CA in 2002, the U-Haul dealer that I used was an old defunct auto parts store that the owner had just stopped selling parts, and set up the U-Haul business in the showroom portion of the building. I got a short tour of the back one day, and it was as the parts department in this article, only a much broader spectrum of stuff. I asked him if he would consider selling stuff to rodders or restorers, and he said no, when he was gone his kids could do what they wanted with it.

Small town Ford dealer near me, has been open for a very long time. doesn't have 1/2 the stuff in that Chevy dealership, but still has some stuff kicking around from the 50's/ 60's... it's now run by the sons of the original person that started the dealership in the 50's.. they still hold the Franchise but they do not keep any new cars on the lot, they just order vehicles if someone wants somthing new, and they must order enough new for Ford to keep there franchise... I pick up a truck from them hopefully in a few days, not new, but there putting a new transmission in it.
