Queen City Cincinnati OH dealer invoices
Hello Guys,
Brand new member here. My 1st post. So bear with me. What an online treasure. Awesome site!! I've been researching Queen City Chevrolet for some time now. Decades. Every now and again my path would cross with "The Supercar Registry". I thought that this site was mainly for Camaro enthusiasts, but the more I've read I'm feeling a little more welcome. A few of my buddies are hardcore Camaro aficionados. Myself, I'm a longtime '65 and '66 Corvette nut. I feel that I can contribute some things at a minimum about Queen City Chevrolet. My '66 427 was sold new from there. Had to join your group! A quick search led me to this thread. When I began reading I almost swallowed my toothpick! "TarrytownSS427s", man what an excellent selfless contribution you've made here. It's actions like this that really help many of us out here. Unfortunately the Corvette VINs you've listed don't include mine but nonetheless I've gleaned a bit of info from your listing. I'm looking forward to reading about my classic Chevrolet brother's cars. Here's a couple of classic Queen City Chev. Co. nuggets for you all! Mike |

Queen City Cincinnati OH dealer invoices
Thanks Pete,
I'm looking forward to reading the handfuls of other threads about Queen City Chevrolet as well. Hey guys, I've always wondered if Queen City Chev. Co. placed these same (or similar) glove box stickers in your cars too? If you've got any photos would you please post them to this thread? No matter how chewed up they may be! When I bought my first Corvette, my '66 427 convertible with air conditioning, it didn't have any prior ownership paperwork at all. There was an echo in my glovebox. But what was inside there proved to be the key to finding out where my plastic fantastic originally came from! The glovebox door appeared to be factory original to the car in 1988 when I bought her in Dallas. On the inside of the metal door there were 2 dealership stickers glued to the cupholder depressions. These stickers were quite a mystery for about a years worth of telephone calls searching possible cities/towns where Queen City Chevrolet used to be. I knew it no longer existed. The GM Historic folks told me that early on. No city or area codes on these glovebox stickers. Very frustrating back then. Remember, this was wayyyy before NCRS offered factory dealership shipping data. That came in the 2000's. One night around 1989 I was chatting with the Chicago telephone operator. Remember those ladies? Man, I miss those days. Anyway, she said "Cincinnati is known as the Queen City. Don't you watch WKRP In Cincinnati?" I said "GIVE ME CINCINNATI INFORMATION!" The next operator in Cincinnati told me all about Queen City Chevrolet. She used to work a couple of blocks from there. Great memories. Anyway guys, here's those historic glovebox stickers. These came from a '67 Corvette. Nicer than my originals on my '66 but identical stickers. What style do you have on your Chevys? Enjoy, Mike |

Here's my '66 Corvette's original accident sticker. Sorry, my service sticker was too obliterated for a decent photo. Mike

Hi Mike, I'm the other half (TarrytownZ24s brother). So close! They definitely had a number of salesmen. The invoices are from 2 salesmen specifically. 3 of the 66's were 427's. Would have been fun to find yours.
It's always fun to find a match. I just reunited a L72 Impala with it's original owners manual packet/protectoplate last week! Only the 2nd time I've been able to reunite a match. Warren
