AERO Chevrolet, Alexandria, VA
 

I pulled this off a '66 Chevelle in a junk yard in Va. this past weekend. It's just a dull cast plate, no chrome, but it's made of something that doesn't rust. Does anyone own a car from this dealer? If so, you can have it. The junky didn't charge me anything for it.

It used sticky tape to attach, but it seems to show evidence of earlier posts. Perhaps this one was later and the '66 was on the used car lot.?

Holy Cow! Yes, Verne, my '67 Z came from Aero Chevrolet. I would love to own that if it is still available.

Jon,
PM me with your mailing address and I'll put it in an envelope and send it to you. I have to go to the P.O. today anyway.

YIKES almighty!!!!!! I still see the fuel filler hole in the quarter. Are you bringing it back to race trim??????????????? You have one HELL of a car there!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Just so you know, the '66 Chevelle had it's AERO emblem on the left side of the flat trunk panel, about 2" away from the taillights, centered vertically.

I couldn't think of a better place for this emblem to go!!!! It'll be in the mail Mon. (got your PM)

Thanks Rick. I feel really good about being able to provide him with an original dealer emblem. That car sure deserves it! So, it's really the FIRST Z-28 huh? Man, what a special car!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Wow, good find and it's going on the right car. Find another, Verne, my 18k mile LS6 came from Aero!

Dave,
I don't know if I'll be going back there or not. I probably should because there are several cars I didn't get to see. I think we got about 20 documented to add to the dbase. I'll keep my eyes open for you. Anyone know how long AERO was in business?

They were established in 1920 and went out of business circa 1980.

Re: AERO Chevrolet, Alexandria, VA
 

WOW! That's some legacy! I wonder how many Chevrolet dealers there were across the US in 1920. I know in 1963 there were about 6800.

By the way, I just got back from the P.O.
It's taped to a piece of wood in a padded envelope so it "should" survive the trip. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Looking forward to its arrival and hopefully it will be in one piece. Thanks again, Verne! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: AERO Chevrolet, Alexandria, VA
 

Verne,

It showed up in today's mail and is in perfect shape. It is a very cool item and I'm very happy to have it. Thanks again for your generosity!
