Bill Conner Chevrolet info
 

Looking for info on Bill Conner Chevrolet in Muncie Indiana. I have a lisitng for a Conner Chevrolet in Roanoke Indiana as a Yenko network dealer, but I don't know if this is the same place... Anyone know where Roanoke IN is in relation to Muncie?

Re: Bill Conner Chevrolet info
 

I've got some Bill Conner SS Chevrolet License plates,and decals.I have seen them around at swapmeets here and in the Indiana area in the past.
I had no idea that name was in the Yenko Network.
Roanoke is NorthWest of Muncie.
I will make some inquiries in Indiana.

Re: Bill Conner Chevrolet info
 

Conner in IN sold at least 2 deuces, neither of which is found.

Thanks for the info Marlin...Did they join the network in 70 or did they potentially sell 69 Yenkos as well?

Re: Bill Conner Chevrolet info
 

To my knowledge, only '70's. I don't think I remember seeing them on any dealer listings/ad's before the Deuce campaign.

Re: Bill Conner Chevrolet info
 

So is anyone here from Indiana? How far away is Roanoke IN and Muncie IN? I'm still wondering if this is the same dealership, or maybe 2 separate dealerships with the same owner, or is it 2 totally unrelated dealerships?

Re: Bill Conner Chevrolet info
 

Muncie is 65 miles SouthEast from Roanoke.
I can't find out if they were the same owner.

bill conner chevy inc. is or was on walnut street in muncie.

Bill Conner
 

See below:

Conner was a "prolific" advertiser and seemed to be a large dealer. Some ads talked about having over 170 new Chevrolets to see on his lot. I could not find an ad highlighting "special performance cars" but he seemed to have a regular supply of muscle cars - found 1 69 L78 4 speed Camaro he had on the lot. Here's some more ads showing Bill himself, and another showing his entire sales team.
