Do you have a street address for Walt Johnson Chevrolet? I did a few searches, but found very little info. What's there now?

Old car dealership pictures are pretty neat. The Z/28 was sold by Placke Chevrolet in St Louis MO and I was able to track down a 1954 picture of the dealership. In the picture, Don Placke is on the right.

Excellent choice and that will look great!

All the paperwork gives the address as "Turnpike Road Corner Elm Street".

So, that's Rt.75, where the Dunkin' Donuts or the little strip mall is now.

^^That's awesome! I'll have to show that picture to my father and ask him exactly where it was on the corner. I'll also need to ask him where he bought the Corvairs. It may have been the same place.

Free tape recorder with any used car over $500 bucks, that is what really gets me.

Wow just simply sexy. Is the front bumper a euro bumper? Looks good painted if not.
