Prout Chevrolet Items

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Brian/Stan;
What is the 'Trout' portion of Prout Trout? Was a trout their identifier?

Marlin,

The dealer emblem that Prout Chevrolet used was basically an outlined fish (think of the design that various Christian organizations use) with "PROUT" located in the body of the fish. When I was living in the Cleveland area, my friends and I always referred to it as the "Prout trout" - mainly because that's what all the other gearheads called it.

Stan:
I can give you several sizes of the Christian Fish, can a Prout Trout be made from one?

Marlin,

That's pretty much the holdup at this point... I can remember the general makeup of the emblem, but as far as particular measurements, I have no idea. The last one that I remember seeing was right before I left the Cleveland area almost 17 years ago, so the old memory is a little fuzzy on the details. I imagine a trip through one of the Cleveland area boneyards on a future trip out there should score a couple. Thanks for your offer to help though!

Regards,

Stan

orig69ss,

Actually, Prout Chevrolet is now Jack Matia Chevrolet in Elyria, OH, just west of Cleveland. However, now that you mention it, I seem to remember Bass Chevrolet as well. Do you recall where they are located? You're saying that they had a similar emblem? I don't remember it, but it certainly makes sense - a lot more sense than Prout using it. I'd love to hear more about that!

Regards,

Stan
