Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
Was the Rambler dealer next door, or part of the same dealership? Same owner maybe? Great pic, these are the kind I really love.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
I believe the Rambler dealership was separate. The Chevrolet dealership was Modern Chevrolet, and it looks like the Rambler dealership was Ideal Rambler. It's really hard to find any information on the history of these dealerships.

Hey! That's Rex White! And the boy beside the car is Louie Clements, engine builder! Rex was one of the original Chevy "Black Widow" members! Too cool!

This is from an episode of Columbo, just watched it not too long ago. Robert Culp is behind the wheel.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
2 Stiffs Selling Gas. I wonder if that was the family last name - catchy. I also wonder just how long the world has been exposed to the "Worlds BIGGEST Tire Sale........
64-66 on thestreet Looks like a GTO having the windshield cleaned - and Jeep waggoner in the background?

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
That's a B body Pontiac - like a Catalina (maybe a wagon, judging from the stuff on the roof).

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
Here is a picture my local Chevy dealer found of his place from 1967. He was a sales person at the dealership then and still runs it today.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
Cool picture of Al Rohr Chevrolet in Newton, Illinois. I couldn't believe this picture. I student taught at Newton in 1971. Bought my first new vehicle at Rohr's, a '71 El Camino. Louie Ochs sold it to me. He bought the dealership from Al and still still owns it.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
oh the days when you could set up your chair next to the track and the only thing separating you from the action was a flag covered rope.
