Hi Ralph ! I don't remember the place, but they did start in 1940 and it looks like they disolved in 1980.

I will PM you what I believe was the owner and his address.

Thanks Tom, I spoke with the owners son last night who worked there in 1969, he said they only sold 2 corvettes a year thats all Chevrolet would give them. All their records were thrown out in 1982 when they closed up.

Tom, I spoke to the owners son this morning he is 82 years old and was happy to talk to me, he said he would look around his house to see if he had anything like a key chain or business card of any other dealer item.
