Re: where was your truck originally sold?

Hard to read in the small pic, but mine was sold at Littrell Chevy in Athens, Alabama. I'm pretty sure it no longer exists.
Was sold in August, 1971 and the guy traded in a 1966 Ranchero for it.

Re: where was your truck originally sold?

My 72 was sold Mar.26 / 72 from Hall Chevrolet in Prosser , Wa . Another member from that area tells me the're still going strong . The paperwork shows the truck was sold to Benton City Mint Farms , apparently there long gone . Should have been car dealers instead of farmers , lol , jk.

It still lives in the same town it was bought new, Whitefish, Montana. So to protect the heritage I have changed the color, the wheelbase and to a different year front end... The old guy that owned it would roll over in his grave if he saw it now, specially the air bags and big wheels.

Re: where was your truck originally sold?

My '69 C-10 was made in NY and sold at Don Steves Chevrolet in La Habra California. I have all the paperwork form the sale. The radio ads say that Don Steves Chevrolet is "the biggest Chevy dealer in La Habra", in reality he's the only Chevy dealer in La Habra.
My '70 was built in Fremont California, do not know where it was sold.

Re: where was your truck originally sold?

PA Dealership Info:

I remember Colony Chevrolet but they must be closed now because I can't find anything on them anywhere. The only listing I found was for Colony Motor Cars in Lancaster but I doubt they're the same.

Weed is still open. http://weedchevy.com/


My truck was built in St. Louis and has a dealership bumper on it from Smith Bros. Chevrolet from some town west of Dallas, Texas. I can't think of the name at the moment.

Weed Chevrolet is only 3 miles from my house. My dad got the 93 1500 and my mom got her 06 'Nox from there. I will be going there to buy my first new car soon too!

The only way I know where the truck was purchased, was all of the previous owners left the Protect O Plate and owners manual in the glove box.
The first part of the dealers name that I couldn't make out does start with a "W".....if its William, it would have been abbreviated. I hope you are right! It's nice to learn a little more history.

Re: where was your truck originally sold?

The original owners manual and protect-o-plate were in the glovebox when I bought my truck;
it shows that the truck was purchased on June 18, 1970 at Kastner Pontiac Olds GMC located in Napa, CA;

They've been around for a long time which is something to say these days 'cause there's less and less of the old school dealerships out there.
