Default Friendly Chevrolet, Rialto, CA 1960's?

Hello,
Normally idling in the C-3 forum.
I thought I'd reach out to you So Cal guys.
Anyone old enough or have any info on above dealership?
It was on Foothill Rd, Rialto on RT 66.
My '68 was shipped there in June 1968.
Just would love to hear about the area and the atmosphere back then.
Thank you in advance.

My family moved to Fontana in 1968. My high school girlfriend lived in Rialto so I spent lots of time there. Lol I own a 1972 chevy truck that was sold new at Rotolo Chevrolet on Foothill in Fontana.

hdpete98,
Hey thanks for reaching out to me.
Did Friendly Chevrolet close shortly after 1968?
I can not find any info after 1968.
The owner dabbled in the racing circuit in 1963-64 and was an
owner of a Cheetah at one time too.
After that they sorta feel off the grid.
Thanks,
Marshal
