Jim Connell Chev in Cleveland

Anybody know anything about this dealership? Thanks

Re: Jim Connell Chev in Cleveland

Hey Dana - check out the '59 Chevrolet in Bob Cole's posting for his parent's 50th anniversary. The thread is titled, "Thanks to Woj...." On one of the shots from the rear of the car you can see "Jim Connell East Cleveland" on the rear trim.

Re: Jim Connell Chev in Cleveland

There was a Jim Connell Chevrolet in Anderson SC as well.

Re: Jim Connell Chev in Cleveland

I never heard any more about this dealer. Sorry about that.

Re: Jim Connell Chev in Cleveland

This was my Uncle's dealership. He moved from Cleveland to Anderson, SC in the late 60's/early 70's. His slogan was "the dealership with the big heart!".
Thanks.

Re: Jim Connell Chev in Cleveland

Do any records from Anderson exist?

The car was named CANDY MAN and the driver was Cromer - Quain Stott has been contacted by Cromer to build him a replica if the car cannot be located.
He owns CROMERS FOOD SERVICE a supplier of vending and food service in South Carolina & Georgia.
