Default Dealership Photos

A new book is currently being written called, "Lost Muscle Car Dealerships". The focus of the book, much like Lost Road Courses and Lost Drag Strips I/II, will be to feature some of the dealerships from the muscle car era that committed heavily to selling these cars. By no means is this a complete list. If the book sells well we'll certainly take a look at adding a second volume. If you would like to contribute feel free to PM me or post below. I anticipate there will be a lot of "how come your not covering XXXXX?" Again, if the book sells well we would love to do a follow up. We can't use any old photo you find off the net. The rights would have to be yours.

We're looking for the following;

Dealership shots of the exterior, interior and sales lots
Race cars that ran with dealer sponsorship
Performance cars that sold new through these dealerships
Marketing tools (pamphlets, brochures, advertisements, merchandise, etc..)

The following are dealerships that will receive coverage;

Anderson Motors Co.
Yenko Chevrolet
Dale Chevrolet
Nickey Chevrolet
Paul Harvey Ford
White Bear Dodge
Grand Spaulding Dodge
Fenner-Tubbs Chrysler Plymouth
Berger Chevrolet
Royal Pontiac
Packer Pontiac
Berejik Oldsmobile
Chesrown Oldsmobile
Reynolds Buick GMC
Mel Burns Ford
Bob Ford Inc.
Tom Coward Lincoln Mercury
Sach's and Sons Lincoln Mercury
Yeakel Chrysler Plymouth
Melrose Motors Inc.
Scunio Chevrolet
Richard Rambler
Randall Rambler AMC
Cordia Chevrolet

Thanks!

Wes

Don't forget about Alan Green Chevrolet in Burien, WA (Seattle area). They were heavy into racing in early '60's, i.e. Z-11, Z-06, etc.

It's covered. Do you have cars, marketing material or photos?

Colonial Chevrolet in Norfolk VA. Largest Yenko network dealer. I own these photos.





..and i agree with those who say adding pics to posts on this site is way more involved of a process than it needs to be.

The book is really coming together. I just received over 50 photos of White Bear Dodge from the 60's and early 70's. Some amazing, never before seen imagery.

We're also looking to feature some supercars. If you have one that was sold through Hi Po dealer and it hasn't been seen in a book before please PM me.
