Dunlop Chevrolet, Macon, GA

Don't believe they are in business anymore. Anybody on here have any recollection of this dealership? On a web search the only thing that seems to show up is a Corvair that was sold there. Appreciate it.

Is it Dunlop or Dunlap? They sold a deuce.

Thanks for the input, it appears it was Dunlap.

A search under that title shows a few items, including the obituaries for the previous owner and a mechanic. Appears there is an existing Dunlap Chevrolet in Toledo, OH.

Would like to get an idea of their old LOGO or something to replicate the dealer decal for their sold cars.

Wonder if the dealership has possibly changed names over the years.

I'll dig through my notes, I spoke to someone there several years ago.

Appreciate it Marlin

Don, try Youmans Chevrolet in Macon. That may be the old Dunlap dealership. If it isn't then there may be someone there that remembers it................RatPack..................

How's this for a first post here bringing a 10 yr old discussion back to the top? I'm in Macon, Ga and well familiar with Dunlap Chev and George Youmans Jr., the present owner. Among my collection of cars I have an LS6 Chevelle and a '69 L89 Corvette that were sold there. My family bought a number of cars from Dunlap over the years. What's really sad is that there was a literal mountain of old records in the Dunlap Chev. building in downtown Macon for years after the building was vacated when a new facility was built 5 miles away. I'm not sure how they were organized, but could have probably been had for the taking had someone had the interest. I believe they remained there into the 90's, certainly the late 80's. I wouldn't consider that Dunlap was exactly a high performance dealer, but they did sell quite a few SHP Chevrolets in Camaros, Chevelles, Corvettes and full size.

As a side note, I have a friend of a friend who's family had a dealership up North, I think Illinois or Michigan. He's been going through their old records and has found some documentation on quite a few SHP Chevy's, I think including a Z16 and a good bit of L78 and L78/L89 stuff. I think he's going to be offering it to people who can match up cars. I'll put another post on it when I hear more.

How about the Yenko Deuce that was sold there, any knowledge of that car?

Digging deep on an old thread and adding some cool old newspaper ads from Sept of 1970 for this dealer.
