O'Reilly Chevrolet Tucson Arizona
Tomorrow O'rielly Chevrolet in Tucson Arizona celebrates it 100th year anniversary. Since both of my Camaros were purchase from there when new, I'll be taking my 1969 ss396 down for their little show. I don't know haw many cars they were able to find that were actually sold there. Could be fun. It will be a long day for me. I will be there for almost 12 hours. I'll try to get some pictures....Joe

Since I bought the car in 1981, you could go to MVD & get most anything you wanted. I neglected to ask for a dealer invoice. Those days are gone....Joe

Here's a question for you. Is that the same Bill Edel that sold cars on Stone ave across from NAPA? If it is, I bought a blue Honda trail 70 from him in the early 70s....Joe

Hi Joe, Yes, that is the same Bill edel. I remember that blue honda, do you still have it? he replaced it with a yellow honda trail 90 which I tore up the desert with before jumping to larger bikes. He was the salesman and my dad who was in the air force ordered the 57 chevy from him to replace a 56 porsche speedster which my mother thought was not a family car as they just got married.. My grandfather started selling cars in 1936 at his service station turning it into Precision Motors selling at times Hudson, American motors, Jaguar, MG, triumph, Mercedes, sunbeam, austin healey, and several other european sports cars. sold 11 mercedes gullwings out of the little dealership on stone. He sold it to Jack Roe (later precision toyota) late 1956 and went to work selling chevrolets for O'rielly chevrolet. That only lasted about a short time as O'Rielly has limits on how many cars a single salesman could sell and he didn't like that. He opened another shop selling chevrolets he brought up from a dealer in nogalas that could not sell his whole alotments so chevy's to tucson then used trade ins to nogales and mexico. worked for a while and then MB came back and asked him to take the franchise again as Jack Roe dropped several lines he was carrying before. He opened up again this time as "Bill Edel Motors" and was selling MB, land rover, and others through the 60's and then took on datsun in 1970 which sold more than any of the others.. He retired in 1975 and sold out. mercedes eventually became Beaudry motors now owned by chapman and datsun is now Jim click. History in a long paragraph.. his Orielly time was short but he and Frank O'rielly were friends for years. |
