Re: [Chevelle-list] The End of an Era

    Older dealerships are disappearing everywhere.   Seems like they have to be part of an ownership conglomerate now-a-days.

    I was surprised to see on TV the other day, a commercial for the new dealership that was formerly "Forest City Chevrolet" here in Portland, Maine. I was saddened to see this because it's where my Grandfather purchased the 1969 Chevelle SS 396 that I now own. They were in business since the late 1930's or early 1940's. My grandfather bought all of his vehicles there including the 1964 Chevelle SS that he traded in for my ' 69. Automobile Dealerships come and go frequently around here but I never thought I'd see "Forest City Chevrolet" gone. It was just sad to see the end of an era. By the way, the new mane for the dealership is rather odd IMO, it's now called "Quirk Chevrolet". Seems like a strange name for a car dealer to me.
