It's Princeton, NJ. This is a town in NJ where Princeton University is. Not too many dealers were in the town, but claimed the name. Any address? I was born there and lived near there since. what year is your Vette?

most chevy dealers are named by the owners last name...are you sure "princeton" does not refer to the owners name and not the town?? I lived near princeton NJ most of my life and dont recall a dealer called Princeton Chevrolet, but, Princeton is a very 'richy' and prestigous address, so people and businesses rather far from the actual town of Princeton make claim to the name and/or address.

How do you know it came from there?? do you have a zone or dealer # ? Good Luck

1962 was before my time (that I could remember)

. There was a car dealer right on Nassau street by Harrison st, but I am not sure what the brand was. They moved out when I was a boy.

Scott,
Prince Chevrolet was located on State Highway 206 in Montgomery Township across from the Princeton Airport. It changed ownership in 1976 and became Princeton Chevrolet until the late 1980's when the owner ran into some criminal trouble and it went out of business. It remained vacant until the late 90's and then and is still known as the Range Rover Dealership.

If you need any more information call Ed Minier at Nassau Conover Ford on 206 in Montgomery. He worked there.

Hope this helps...........

Verne

Shaffer's Getty is no longer there. IT's just a very small repair shop now and has gone through several owners. Like I said, call Ed at Nassau for info from Prince.
