Nischan-Spalding Chevrolet, Grand Rapids, Mich
I just registered my '69 Camaro double COPO. My POP lists Nischan-Spalding in Grand Rapids as the selling dealer. I noticed that this dealership is not listed on the registry. Possibly this car was acquired in a dealer trade from Berger? Can anyone give me any insight?

Ed Cunneen lists a Fathom Green car from that dealer, but you would have to ask him if it was a dealer trade.
Emmert Chevrolet was also a known COPO dealer in that area, and there was no know connection with Berger. Check with Kurt at the CRG site.  And post some photos. Andy

Re: Nischan-Spalding Chevrolet, Grand Rapids, Mich
I believe Nischan-Spalding ordered two Copo Camaros and one COPO Chevelle per customer requests. One of the board members who owns the Green COPO knows the details, hopefully he'll chime in.
Emmert had a direct conection to someone at the Central Office, maybe he can chime in too? My understanding is that both of these individuals have first hand knowledge of the events.

Re: Nischan-Spalding Chevrolet, Grand Rapids, Mich
Hey Andy - you indicated that Ed lists one green copo from Nischan Spalding Chevrolet. Another posting says that one of the board members has that car. I also have a green copo from Nischan Spalding (with POP and all owners). Any idea how we could both have green copos from Nischan when Ed indicates that there was only one? Regards, Bruce

I only know what I read, Bruce.
Have you asked Ed? Andy

[ QUOTE ]
Nischan-Spalding in Grand Rapids [/ QUOTE ] I was living and working in the Grand Rapids area in 1972 and never came upon that dealer. I got 2 new cars in GR, a 1972 El Camino SS350 and a 1973 Chevelle SS350. I cruzed all the GM dealers and only recall Berger and C. Bell. C. Bell was a new dealership in 1972 (where I got my cars) and maybe was the old Nischan-Spalding.
