(Continued) The only other Chevy dealer in the City from that time frame was Ellis Brooks on Van Ness. They had a metal dealer ID "badge" that they would permanently affix to the rear of the trunk lid of the cars (on the left side as I recall), so chances are if your car came from that dealership, it would have that tag on it (or two holes where it used to be mounted).

I grew up in the east bay and I remember those Ellis Brooks emblems! "See Ellis Brooks today for your Chevrolet" was a radio jingle from the 1960s. I went into Ellis Brooks one evening on a SF layover a few years ago since our layover hotel was a block away on Van Ness. I sat in a new Corvette and the salesman didn't know a thing about the car.

Oh, and sky-high rent is probably another reason why there is only one dealership remaining for each of the Big Three in the City.

I gotta' get "The Streets of San Francisco" (a Quinn Martin production) on DVD. I think it's out now.

Cue the fog!
