Schwartzburg Chevrolet, Milwaukee

[Mike Ernst (211)]

Got the original owner of a 62 bought here connected with the person that's owned it since the late 60's. Anyone have anything on Schwartzburg in Milwaukee?

Can't find much on them prior to 69. Find Thomas W. Schwartzburg and he'll have your answers. He is listed as the "main man"

I would try calling SCHWARTZBURG AUTO
4690 HILLSIDE RD
WEST BEND, WI 53095-9252
(262) 644-5320
and see what info they have.

Look up Ray Gieger on the TDB here. If memory serves me correct, he may of worked there. It is either Ray or an old customer of mine.

Hello Mike;
I worked at Hall Chevrolet, 3209 W. North Ave from 1963 - 1979. The dealership moved to 11011 W. North Ave in 1969. They exist as Hall Automotive now. Same owner as Hall VW & Mazda. I was The Service mangler the last 7-8 years. There is NO paperwork or history. Only anecdotal information.
Schwartzburg Chevrolet was on Lisbon Ave just north of North Ave. About Mienecke Avenue. They moved to West Bend in the late 1979 or early '80s
Tom Scwartzburg is the son of Emil (long pasted away). Believe he still lives in the West Bend area. Have not seen or talked with him in at least five years.
I can follow up if you like, but I doubt he has anything in the way of paperwork or history.
email me if you would like more info. We had/have mutual friends and will contact them.
Ray
