Jeff has his info correct and both were just down the road from Santa's Village, were you could get a land and sea/pond ride, in an Amphi-Car.

"Also Doane Chevrolet was a Dundee Chevy Dealer operating in the 60's but on Main St..

Dealer Name: Doane Chev
Zone # 11
Dealer # 163
Status: No longer in Business
Address: 10 E. Main St.
City: E. Dundee
State: IL "

I believe that Dick Doane was the owner (really testing the memory bank). He was heavily into road racing and I had heard that he was one of the owners of the now defunct Meadowdale Raceway.

Ronnie Kaplan (Nickey Chevrolet Racing Crew Chief and Back door engineer) won his First Daytona, on the beach Race (later disqualified) in a Doane sponsored race car, back in the 50s.

Albert Peters sold a lot of new Corvettes back in the 1970s when they were hard to come by. My brother bought a new 1975 at Peters.

Cool. Sounds like they were in business a short time and mainly in the 70's to early 80's. I wonder if they had a plate frame or dealer emblem/sticker
