I would imagine if you lived in the area at the time it would have been known. However looking at that advertising photo it gives the impression they are really pushing pickup trucks, since they are parked right out front for everyone to see, and there are a lot of them. Odd for a big performance dealer.

If I were looking for a performance car during that time and that photo in the newspaper is all I had to go by when looking for a dealer, that one would not have been my first choice.

Just an interesting picture in many ways.

Lets not forget that picture wasn't taken during the performance heyday. I'm not up on my old trucks but those are more than likely late 50's early 60's trucks. Maybe they got on board the performance bandwagon a little later? I can't say, just my observation of the photo posted.

The trucks are '63 model year.

I see '62 Corvette in the background, on the right.

Ha ha You would have lost out . My friends burnished brown Chevelle I mentioned from Heubners. Original paint. I went to look up what he said. There was 24 Chevelle SS to pick from. Not bad for a small town country dealer.
