Found this old post and I have the information that was asked for, even if it is 21 years too late.

Yes, the Konners Chevrolet in Columbus was related to the dealerships in New Jersey. Harold Konner was the owner, purchasing it on June 28, 1966. Konners Chevrolet purchased the former Lex Mayers Chevrolet in Whitehall, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. The dealership was located at 5055 East Main Street, Whitehall, OH. (Lex Mayers was the former Roger Dean Chevrolet.)

Lex Mayers was quite a character and very well known for sponsoring wrestling matches and movies on local TV. Lex became overextended after building a new facility and sold the dealership to Konners. Lex Mayers moved to Florida and worked with Roger Dean after he sold the dealership.

Bill Swad Chevrolet purchased the dealership from Konners in June, 1972. It later became Capital Chevrolet (division of Sonic), then Ricart Chevrolet (not to be confused with the current Ricart Chevrolet on the other side of town) and is now currently Dave Gill Chevrolet.

So what's the connection to the NJ dealerships?
