Chuck,

I had no idea they were all connected, I thought it was just a coincidence they shared the same name.

The one in Lakewood Colorado was there for many years. I didn't know it was related, but was there for for about 75 years.
I bought a couple cars and trucks there in the 70's

Luby had five dealerships and to the best of my knowledge. I believe they were all “loosely” connected. My 65 came from the Forest Hills, NY location. As mentioned Luby was also in Baltimore, Miami, Denver and Boston. I remember the Boston Location very well from my teenage years.

I’m always looking for Luby memorabilia. Have a few pieces but would like some additional.

Chuck, I was able to wrestle one of those Luby shirts from Ralph. 😀😀😀 Pretty cool piece.

I worked for Ken's brother Don Jestes when I was at Jerry's Chevrolet on Joppa road. About 1978 or so.

Don, I think that Donnie Jestes also worked at Miller Chevrolet in the Ellicott City, MD area at one time.
