Default Re: Byrne Bros 1969 Z/28

Byrne Brothers was on Virginia Road right off the Bronx River Parkway. In my early days [late 70's] in the printing business I used to call on them...it was a huge dealership and they sold 1000's of new cars every year. Their parts department had two of the best Chevy guys in the business...the dealership was well known for high performance.

It closed around 1983?? and a lot of the employees went to work at T.A. Byrne Chevrolet in Mt. Kisco [Tim Byrne was a nephew of one the original Byrne family members]. Sadly that store changed hands when they ran into some financial issues...eventually that location was absorbed by Arroway Chevrolet in Katonah, NY.

The early 80's were a tough time for the old line flagship domestic stores...gas prices and poor products from Detroit didn't help. I'm sure some of the Byrne Bros guys are still around...it would be fun to re-connect and talk about the old days.
