Central Chevrolet 2930 Peachtree Road N.W. Atlanta

[GaryC]

There is some info on line if you Google it. As a matter of fact there was a pic of the one I worked at just a few blocks away from my parents house, it was closed down. I carved my nickname "'MOJO' was here" in the paint on the front of the building. I don't think it lasted much past the 70's.


Can't find the pic now but the address where that Burger Chef was 2383 Piedmont Rd, is 1/2 mile from home. Probably long gone now. There use to be a Bra company across from it called 'Lovable Brassier Co', we use to hill climb behind the factory on our dirt bikes.

I would sure like to know what Central Chevrolet used for dealer identification on their new cars; was it a (foil) decal, a cast metal logo-emblem or maybe a plate/tag frame? Is there be a Yenko.net member with one of their cars who can provide some insight (and photos)? </div></div>

No photos but the guy seeking the original owner of his LT1 in the previously posted link indicated his car had a Central dealer emblem.
Anyone know the Central delivered L78 Camaro on the same page?
Here's the link again...

Thanks Pete, I PM'd the Corvette Forum members from the linked thread who stated they had cars originally sold by Central Chevrolet in hopes they have dealer swag, ID (emblems, decals etc) or dealership photos they can share. I also posted a Craigslist wanted ad last week in the Atlanta market for memorabilia from Central Chevrolet however no hits as yet.

Best of luck Lloyd!
If the 'Vette forum guy w/ the LT1 replies, make sure to compare his '70 w/ the below linked SYC thread where GRB mentioned he bought a new '70 LT1 @ Central Atlanta...maybe the same car also was GRB a tire guy?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: GaryC</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Wow. I never realized how close I lived to Central Chevrolet. From my parents house to Central was 5.91 miles according to mapquest, right up Piedmont Rd and right on Peachtree. It's a shame I don't live there now Lloyd, it would be fun looking for some of that old stuff. I still have a few friends that haven't left maybe I can have them look around too. </div></div>

Hey Gary, just checking in, wondering if you connected with your friends in Atlanta for intel on Central Chevrolet?

Not a peep so far.

Saw your postings on the 'Vette site &amp; elsewhere too, any luck yet?
Have you tried searching for old dealership pictures &amp; newspaper ads, there's often something if you just dig a little deeper for it!
Good luck w/ everything!
