Here is a LA Times story on closure of the long time Firestone Blvd Downey dealership (1939-1991).

Here is a license plate frame from the dealership you can buy on eBay:

I don't have anything on them other than they started on 10-15-46. I don't show a closed date.

Rick, Tom
sometimes I wonder what the point is in answering these queries for people who pop in to request information, and then never return to see if any of us tried to help them.
On this particular dealership there is quite a bit of info available, and even memorabilia to be bought on eBay, but, so far as I can see, none of it is really that important to Mr. Rawlins. Oh well,,,,,, happy vetteing!

Don,

Understand the frustration that you are feeling......wish I could find information on dealership that sold my 1963 Z06 - no information really available and nobody remembers much about the dealership being in existence

Thank you all for your input and information. FYI Don, I've been out of the country since May 18th and just returned to the states today.
I don't check anything electronic when I'm on vacation.

A reply from the original poster isn't always needed for me. I post the info I have for the original poster as well as future searchers who may need info. I enjoy getting a "hit" on reqested info !! Always glad to help if I can.
