    They're no longer in business and I don't think that any other dealership bought them out and changed names. I think they just went out-of-business.

    At one time, I believe they were a noted "high performance" car dealership. Now, they're "history".

        Hanley Dawson was also in Chicago. (Cadillac) It's still owned by the Dawson family but now operates as Patrick Cadillac (a grandson?) in Schaumburg, IL. Pretty sure it's the same family that owned one or two dealers in Michigan. The family now owns several locations.
        You MAY get lucky and get some info on the Hanley Dawson dealer in Detroit.

          Joe,
          Your right on the money. Hanley Dawson was the dealership to buy the fast cars. See this link: http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/21/2...-l88-corvette/. I have a 69 L89 car (#8804) with an M22 trans (yea, I know not possible from the factory) that I am trying to find some order information/documentation from the dealer/factory. The car was ordered for stock and purchased in January 1969. I have talked to the original owner and he says it had the M22. I have a copy of the window sticker with the M22 option but that could be fake. Any suggestions on finding doc info???

            I remember Hanley Dawson Chevrolet from back in my "Woodward" days (that was a LONG time ago); they went out of business decades ago.

              Our 1966 427-425 Silver 66 coupe (recent Restorer cover) came from Hanley Dawson on 7 Mile Road in Detroit. I went to the address two years ago and it was not a dealership type buiilding. Last year in Boston NCRS National there was a DeLorenzo 1969 race car that was sold and sponsored out of Hanley Dawson.
              Hope this helps
