Any Chevrolet Dealerships install Paxton Superchargers on new cars sold?
I know like Tasca Ford did so. I was wondering if any Chevrolet Dealers did the same.

there was an article in an NCRS magazine a few years back about somebody developing a paxton mcculloch set up for 53-54 corvetts.
I cannot recall but I think it was evaluated by GM brass through a cooperating dealer.
it fell through when the v8s came out.

Fords with a few exceptions, have always been slower than Chevys.
Thus I can see why the Paxton was interesting to the Ford guys. I do know of an aftermarket ad from Paxton showing a Corvette is what prompted this thread.

If anybody did, Dana Chevrolet might have in its short, happy life ( a little over a year AIR) that included a private '67 LeMans entry that led its class for 12 hours (half the race).

I started to write Dana, but I was hoping someone else would.
I also believe that Yenko may have done a few, during the time that they were playing with the Corvair Stingers.

One of the Dana partners was ex-Shelby exec Peyton Cramer. He continued to do well, several years ago as a principal in a large Torrance Ford dealership in Torrance, California.
A personal connection was through our architect, Ron Davis. Doing some additions to our home, he took us to a project he was doing for Mrs. Kramer in a nearby exclusive, gated community to show us his trademark cedar ceilings, which we still have.
A bit of trivia, "Dana" Chevrolet was named after Kramer's daughter AIR.

That dealership used to sell a bunch of interesting stuff. I don't want to turn this thread into a Ford thing, but the showroom was filled with Panteras and other assorted rides. Also I know a Russ Davis aka Ford T-Bolt racer had a dealership out here in Socal. Ron Davis? related?
