Shore Chevrolet zone 44 dealer 420 Detroit

[Daniel W.]

Looking for Tom Kellar 16254 in regard to a Corvette originally sold at Shore Chevrolet in Detroit.

Received shipping data report for our 1966 originally sold at this dealer (zone 44 dealer 420). Found Mr. Kellar posting this zone/dealer on the Chevelle site in reference to a 1966 Corvette sold new at Shore Chevrolet.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dan,
I just received the shipping data on my '63 that shows it was sold from Shore Cheverolet. Have you been able to locate any information on that dealer?

When I did a Google search on "Shore Cheverolet" I found an address on Jos Campau in Detroit. However when I looked in the NCRS dealer code database I see that for the Dealer Code 420 in Zone 44 someone entered a different dealer name in Grass lake, MI.

thanks,
Alan B,

Alan,
I believe the address was 12240 Jos Campau Detroit 48212, and their telephone number was TWinbrook1-0600.

It looks like the abandoned dealership building may still be at the location

I read years ago about dealer numbers being reassigned following a dealership going out of business. This may explain another dealer with 420.
