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???
It is April 1st isn't it?

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....

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!

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...

Can you believe that this one license plate frame that I don't have, so now I have my eyes peeled for a set!!!
Yeah Rich, this the ultimate shop truck,

....and like I said a few lines ago, my Concrete truck is starting to get worried.

It would be cool to get some photos in front of the dealer ship.

Yeah that would be cool, maybe next year the dealership is 300 miles away, but today it went to "Kev's Classic's" for a little maintenance/love.

Rene please send me a set of pics once you get it on the ground

Joe, thank you sooooo much for the gift,

I'm going to run the frame and the cardboard insert on my dash till I pick up some "old tore up looking frames" to put on my license plates, then yours is going in my display case or my wall of Chevy frames. (heck, it might stay on the dash!!!)

Thanks again Buddy!!!

You're welcome man! It belonged over there man. It was just sitting on my work bench for a while.

C/10 King · 09-07-2014, 11:10 PM

Well I'm kinda pacified right now, I found a set of Felix frames the other day, they are repops but older repops that closely resemble the correct ones, I'll probably take them off again in a couple of days and try to dirty them up a bit because they're too clean.

C/10 King · 09-08-2014, 01:52 PM

Next up for Felix! This good used bed wood donated my good friend and drinking partner

Moe's 64'. (thanks Larry

)
