Looking for License plate frame or related info on BIG FOUR CHEVROLET, St Louis

[Steve G.]

Hi-I found that my '63 was sold by Big Four Chevrolet in St Louis, MO . They were a big dealership in the 1920s-1970s. I'd like to find a license plate frame, or any related information on the dealership. Please let me know.Thank you.

Have you tried a search on eBay? I have found several dealer items on there before. Good Luck.

Yes, I have a default search that I run on ebay from time to time. No luck as yet. Thanks very much for the suggestion, though. I've also found that this dealership had a location in Collinsville, IL.

One of our posters worked there, and has said so on this forum.

I will ding him up so he can see your request.

Hi Steve . I worked there in about 73 ,74 ,75, in the body shop . They closed the St. Louis location and moved to Collinsville ,Il They bought out Norwine Chevrolet . We sold Chevrolets and Bricklins . I don't remember them having licence plate frames . By the time I worked there they used stick on name plates . I dont know anyone from the St louis store . The owner of the Il dealer was the son of the st louis owner He was killed in a car wreck . I will look in my junk to see if I have any related material . The Norwine building is gone but the Big Four building is still there and is a Ford dealer now . What part of Il are you from and what was the vin # of your 65 BB .

Hi Bill. Thanks for the reply! Oh, Bricklins, too? I've had 2 of those, and just sold an original Safety Green a couple months ago. The NCRS document I have says it was "Big Four Auto, St Louis MO." Probably delivered there in 1963. My car is a Daytona Blue '63 split window, VIN 16881. I live in Springfield, IL, but I bought the car in Effingham. Reportedly it was in storage for many years until recently. Yes, that would be great if you could check your stuff to see if there's anything of interest. Thank you very much for following up.

Steve,

Hopefully Bill will come through for you. If not, you might try saving an eBay search. That way, they will notify you when something becomes available.
