Had an LS-6 convertible from this dealership. He was quite an accomplished businessman and seemed to understand the success of any business is the people working there.

Sorry to hear this.
Some very respectable iron was sold there throughout the years.
The Black LS-6 Cvt. was one of them.

Showroom address was Van Chevrolet 6300 Johnson Dr. Mission Ks.
Business office was 8300 63rd st. Merriam Ks.
Zone 05 Dealer 885
