Rod:
Hope this helps, there are loads of ads from O'Connor. Maybe because it ended with an "or"?

Looks like on or about 1973 Pat O'Connor took dealership over, not sure if a relative:

Paul,

That is really cool you found the ads. Thank you! You are right about the "o" for a search. According to the second owner, my '64 was sold by that dealer. Too bad the dealer and records are not there anymore.
I have owned this car for 33 years. When I did my history search on the car in 1985 we did not have the computer resources we have now. Computers and the internet have come a long way in helping us find such information. This dealer information is another piece to the history puzzle for my car. Thanks again for your help. Rod

Rod,
If you want, PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you a few more ads directly from newspapers.com. Did you ever send to NCRS to get the dealer info based on your vin to be sure it came from O'Connor?
Shipping data report service?

Paul: My 66 Corvette original dealer was McKinney Motors in Marshall Mo. Believe this is close by to Sedalia Mo.
Do your know anything on McKinney Motors?? Thanks-Larry

Just curious, where did the McKinney Motors info come from? I see ads for Chevrolet dating back to the 30's. After that McKinney motors is just Fords?

Paul; Thanks for the reply. I know the original owner of my Corvette and he told me where he bought it from.
Also the NCRS report shows the same dealer>McKinney Motors. AFAIK know they where always with GM and
Chevrolet. Believe they went out of business in the 70's/80's and their building was destroyed by a fire. Talked to
the new Chevy dealer now and they did not know too much on McKinney Motors. Larry
