Anyone familiar with Hoffman Chevrolet, Franklin Square NY?

[Steven S.]

Got my shipping data report today and found out that the dealership my 66 was delivered to was this Hoffman Chevrolet in Franklin Square New York. Is anyone familiar with that dealer? Just looking for anything that may help me in my quest for past owner history, I have a dead end from new till the early 1970's.

Thanks,
Steve

If my memory serves me right, Hoffman Chevrolet was on the east side of Franklin Avenue, south of Hempstead Turnpike. The dealership is long gone now though.

Hi Steven !!!

Sorry, somehow I missed your original post. There is a little info on your old dealer. Here's what is in the New York records. Again, not much, but it establishes a little history. Best of luck in your search.

This was probably the address. Might check with the locals to see what is there now !!

Thanks Tom, the address you have was correct. Thanks to some local Long Islanders I found out the building is still there and it's now a Limo & Tuxedo rental outfit, the old bays are now used to store Limo's I'm told. And thanks to Google Street View I can even view the building (isn't technology grand)!
