65 Corvette Shipping report

[George C.]

Hi, I received my shipping report today!! The production date, May 6, 1965 matches the birthday calculator.
The sellling dealer was Daoust Chevrolet in Marysville, CA. I have done a little research, and made a couple of calls to CA. It seems that dealership is long gone. I have found an email address and sent a message to what appears to be a person associated with the dealership, I will post more information if that pans out.
The dealer directory has no information on this dealership, so I will add it when or if I get some dates on when it was opened and closed.
If anyone has any information on the dealership please let me know.

Hey George ! I sure can't get you much info other than they formed in 1962. Original documents list Edward Daoust as the owner / president. Perhaps he or his family members are still around.

Best of luck in your search !

Tom,
Thanks for the response, I have found an email address for Ed Daoust and sent a message.
I talked to an employee from a Chrysler dearlership at that adress now, he stated the Daoust Chevrolet has been gone a long time. However I have found a couple other things on the internet, indications that they may have been around in 1998.
The search goes on!!
Thanks,
George

Hi George,
Is the Chrysler dealer at
529 5th Street ?
My listing shows Daoust was located there in 1959.
