DeVoe Chevrolet DC 95, Z# 45, Marion, IN.

[Daniel K.]

The above DC and Z# displayed as DeVoe Chevrolet-Cadillac in Marion, IN. When searched via Google, DeVoe shows it is now located in Alexandria ("trusted dealer/service since 1966") and there is a Barry Bunker Chevrolet-Cadillac located in Marion and it appears that Barry Bunker is the old DeVoe location. My 63-340 Coupe has the delivery date of 4/17/1963 to the DeVoe dealership in Marion. Any chance some of the Indiana Chapter members remember this car when first delivered and know of its early history? 13100. Saddle/Saddle. Thank you and Happy Holidays.

The first Corvette I ever had came from DeVoe. I didn't get it from them, but I remember having the DeVoe sticker on it. I know some guys in that area. I'll ask around for ya.

Here is the address as listed in the 1962 Indiana records/


1307 N WABASH AVE, P.O. BOX 926, MARION, IN 46952

Here is the address for the dealer in a 1966 document.

1816 SOUTH PARK AVE., PO BOX 84, ALEXANDRIA, IN 46001

I was just going through my files in the office and found some old DeVoe notes. I used to buy some Corvettes from them back in the 90's when they'd trade them in. The guy I always dealt with was named Jack. Can't remember his last name. maybe somebody you find in the area might remember him. Bought several 90-91 ZR1's from him.

Daniel,

You might want to check the local Corvette clubs:

I was able to track mine to the original owner from leads from older members of the local club - they even had photos of my car in their club photo albums.
