C/10 King · 08-01-2014, 12:02 AM

Felix Chevrolet has been in Los Angeles Ca. since 1921 and I finally located and bought their long thought lost 1966 shop truck.

Hey! why is my nose growing???

I hear about ads on the radio for them every time I have to travel to San Diego. They promote all so-cal area. Nice find man!

I grew up not too far from Felix Chevrolet. It's still there on Figueroa and Adams. Sweet truck Rene AGAIN!

I'm pretty sure I remember you talking about Felix Chevrolet to a few of us at your license plate wall in the shop during the Forth Annual C10 party.

So this must be pretty close to your ultimate shop truck.
I get the feeling that ones would be a KEEPER....

Cool beans man !

1963c-10 · 08-01-2014, 10:06 AM

Cool pics!!!! You don't see many original shop trucks from dealers. This is one of the only other dealer shop trucks I've seen

jchav62 · 08-01-2014, 10:07 AM

Cool truck! I have a Felix dealer plate and frame... also a litte Felix Chevrolet window decal on the '62.
That truck would be a nice one to clone...
