Re: Bear Chevrolet
Baher was 7 miles west of Arleta. Jach Head was down in Alhambra and that was 27 miles SE from Arleta. Maybe there was some sort of dealer trade? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: Bear Chevrolet
Excellent info. I believe there was a dealer trade involved.I think Head was the originating dealer and the sale went thru Baher....they did spell it Bear on the Warranty folder....original owner from Arleta so Baher must be the one...Now that I have correct info I can start searching for a dealer emblem or tag.....Jon do you know if they are still in Northridge ?

Re: Bear Chevrolet
We don't use the dealership emblems on the body out here in CA. The typical thing was a dealership license plate frame. I'll try and keep my eyes peeled at the swap meets and see if I can find some for you. Can't guarantee I will but I'll try. I will check to see if they are still in business and get back to you. My guess is that they have changed hands by this time.

Re: Bear Chevrolet
That would be great...I did a Google search on Baher Chevrolet and I must say and they seem to have had quite a history of racing...the only dealer I see in Northridge is Rydell Chevrolet now.
