not sure when they closed

Byrne Brothers Chevrolet in White Plains was still open in 1974
here is a 1974 Z/28 they sold

I know of a 1969 Z/28 sold by TA Byrne Chevrolet and here is a 1977 brochure from them

I used to by parts from Jerry Roberts when he was working at a Chevy Dealer near the Tappan Zee bridge

Had to get the memory chip re-activated...Byrne Bros on Virginia Road closed around 1983 or late 1982...the Mt Kisco store absorbed some of the customers. I remember that Jerry Roberts was working at TA at that point. Donny Marsico was the parts manager, Connie Petruzzi was service Director. TA was a client of mine at the time, sold them printing and marketing material. At some point the dealership developed money problems...not sure when they went out and GM took over the store.

that was a long time ago

Anyone know if they put a 454 in anything other than the Chevelle or Corvette? I know not from the factory but dealers besides B/M.

The old ads say 454 Novas and Camaros. Not sure if any were built or still exist.

I purchased my 66 Chevy II SS from the man who managed the parts department at Franks Chevrolet, that was the name of dealership near the Tappen Zee Bridge in Tarrytown NY . I believe his name was Jerry Roberts, it was his wife’s car , I purchased the car in 1989 and still own it today.

Jerry had an early Chevy II he was building with an old school BB Chevy when I used to buy parts from him. He had a lot of parts

I was searching Byrne Bro and found this link to the Z
