Re: Zone/Dealer codes
Just a little help. The Dealer codes were distributed alphabetically excet in some cases whjere a delaer took over another dealer's location and inherited the dealer code. Dealer 490 shows as Lightsinn Motors and the next showing On the NCRS search base is 496 Kudick Chevrolet. Therefore, your dealer should fall alphabetically between the 2. Next step, call the Des Moines public library reference dep't and ask them to look for a Chevrolet dealer who's name begins with "Li" through "Ku" in Des Moines, can't bee too many. Sometimes, if you get a cooperative research person they will go out of their way to help.
This will not be 100% but pretty close. Also ask them to use the business directories for 1971, dealers moved around and sold out here and there so you know yours was there in 71.
