Anyone ever heard of Egizio (sp) Chevrolet in Naperville? My brother took delivery of their first 1970 Z28. Daytona yellow bought it right of the showroom floor. Still remember it like yesterday. Think that was the start of my sickness!!

I removed some front Bucket seats & a Tilt Steering Column out of a Monte Carlo I found at Victory Auto Wreckers in 1981.I found a buildsheet showing:

Egizio Chevrolet Oldsmobile
P.O. BOX 240
NAPERVILLE IL
60540
Dealer 11
Zone 181

I know they are no longer in Business today.
I think they became Horizon Chevrolet on 1540 W. Ogden.

Egizio was at the southwest corner of Ogden and Naperville Rd. It's now Gerald Nissan, believe it was Gerald Olds, too.

I looked at a used butternut yellow 69 SS396 Chevelle on the lot there when I was in high school.

I just found this:

Angelo J. Egizio, who operated Egizio Chevrolet-Oldsmobile in Naperville from 1957 to 1981, died Nov. 14. He was 81.

Egizio flew on 65 missions for the Army Air Corps in World War II and on 85 missions for the Air Force in the Korean War. He participated in the Battle of the Bulge, the final German offensive in the west, in late 1944, and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, among other medals.

Egizio is survived by his wife, Mary; daughters Toni, Phyllis, Jaime and Mary; sons Michael, James, Owen and Rocco; 12 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. A son-in-law, Roland Gartner, owns Gartner Buick-Saab-Hyundai in Naperville
