1965 General Telephone Co. listing of new car dealers. |
Let's see how many of these new car dealers you recognize from the 1965 GenTel phone book. Here they are in no particular order: Don Rogala's, Blystone's, Maxson Buick, Plumpton Buick, Roth Motors, Reslink & Wiggers, Dailey's Chevrolet, Walker Brothers Buick-Chevrolet (the Detroit discount dealer), Meyers Chevrolet, Cramer Motors, Dahl Motors, Murphy's Mercury, Davis Ford, Girard Auto Sales, Mackay-Swift, Meadowcroft Dodge City, Times Square Motors, Ferraro Ford, Foreign Car Village, Pete Oatess Motors, Plack & Crandall.
Dailey's Chevrolet was located at 1925 State Street (on the east side of State) where Dave Hallman's is now. Here's a cool commercial for the 1965 Chevrolet line-up, promoted by some of the top TV stars in character:

ReplyDeleteHow many times did Harris Ford on East 12th Street burn down in the 60s? I see it's listed here.
How great to see, Bill and Jean Davis were just here from Florida, he will be glad to see this listing.
