Jim Funston Dealer code and Dealer Zone

[fsc66]

A few things: I have Jim Funston listed in my data base twice as dealer 44-152. Unfortunately, I do not have any documents supporting this. Now, it looks to me that prior to Frantz Buick starting up Lefty Frantz began at 1435 S. Hastings in Hastings as Larke Buick Chevrolet (seeing ads through 1976). Then I begin seeing ads in 1979 for Frantz Buick & Chevrolet at that same address. I have Larke as dealer 44-248 and it would seem odd that when Lefty changed the name at that same address, he didn't inherit the 44-248. I agree that 44-152 is Jim Funston Chevrolet at 12668 Gratiot, in Detroit. It may help you to show that 44-152 could not possibly be Frantz Buick nor Larke because neither was in business in 1969 when your car was purchased. See attached as info.
