Arrow Chevrolet Information

[Doug H.]

Received the NCRS shipping report that states that my 67 Convertible was delivered to Arrow Chevrolet in Los Angeles, CA (Dealer Code 8, Zone 20) Arrow is no longer in business or changed it's name. If anyone has information about this former dealer, I will really appreciate it.

Re: Arrow Chevrolet Information

Can't get ya much on this one, other than they started 8-17-61. The address was most likely 1241 S. Soto in Los Angeles. Appears to be a plaza type mall there now.

Re: Arrow Chevrolet Information

Thanx Tom. That is a start anyway. I will now follow Gary Chestnut's search tips and post any new information.

Re: Arrow Chevrolet Information

It's remotely possible that the former Arrow Chevrolet franchise is Allen Gwynn Chevrolet in Glendale.
I came across this dealership when researching where my California ordered '66 Chevelle SS396 was delivered.

The owner of Allen Gywnn Chevrolet is Mr. Gwynn Bacon. Sorry, no firm proof of it's history, ....only a weak hunch.
Good luck, Ridge.

Re: Arrow Chevrolet Information

I have a post card with a picture of the Arrow Chevrolet dealership on it. I can send you a copy. I also posted addresses and dates info in the dealer database a long time ago. I remember frequently driving by both Arrow Chevrolet in L.A. and Allen Gwynn in Glendale and Gwynn was in business decades before Arrow Chevrolet closed down.

Re: Arrow Chevrolet Information

Thank you very much Doug. I would appreciate a copy of that postcard. If you could scan and email a copy, my address is dougneddi@cox.net. Or, I can email my home address to you. I lived in Buena Park, CA in 1967 and recall Felix Chevrolet and Stanley Cheverolet but do not recall hearing about Arrow.
Thanks again - Doug Hawkes
