Potter Motors Alhambra CA.
 

Got the information back from NCRS and my Z28 was shipped to Potter Motors in Alhambra CA. Just checking if anyone has any information on this dealership.

I believe it was Jack Head Chevrolet that was in Alhambra in the '60s. Have not heard of Potter Motors. What was the zone/dealer number they gave you?

It was called Potter Motor Co, please confirm info below also add Dealer Code if you can.
If searching the area for history, try checking in w/ @ Fred Weideman @ Gene Smith Reproduction parts, a car guy who grew up in Alhambra...

Here's a link below to a recent Potter eBay item also some other online stuff.
Good luck searching!

You guys are great. That is the correct dealer. My car was delivered 01/03/1968 Dealer code 411 in zone 20 as per NCRS. Now I would like to see some stuff from that time span. It would be cool to see an ad listing a Butternut Yellow Z28 for sale. You could not get any better evidence than that.

Thanks for the update and code!
There's more ads and other stuff online but all look earlier than what you're seeking?
Looks they may've joined up w/ Smith Chevy in the 50's as Smith disappeared and Potter's Gen. Mgr. was named Smith?
Of interest too, Fred Gledhill's brother owned Economy Chevrolet in Alhambra.
Best of luck w/ your quest!
