No earthly idea if these could be the same folks...but they were established in 1947.
A phone call should "tell the tale"...

You could also try calling the current Cleveland area Chevrolet dealerships and talk to the General Manager and see if they've ever heard of Southeast Chevrolet.
Another option would be to contact the local NCRS chapter, chances are someone knows something about that dealership.

I just called them (Pat O'Brien Chevrolet on Willoughby Hills), but they only have been there for 8 years. According to the person, they where never South East Chevrolet in Cleveland and he also never heard of the dealer code (584 in zone 28).
Thanks for the tip, but the search continues

Southeast Chevrolet in CLE
I am responding to the old post from 2014. There was a Southeast Chevrolet owned by Tony LaRiche. My uncle was the Parts Manager and my grandfather was a salesman. There is a Hardware Store there now. The owner of the store advised me that the LaRiche family cleaned out the building after Mr LaRiche passed away. Before Southeast there was Kinsman Square Chevrolet in CLE. As a boy I recall my grandfather telling me he sold the first ever Corvette in CLE. It was a 1954. You may have seen Postcards of the former Brooklyn Chevrolet in CLE in 1962. I believe the photo was staged but is cool none the less. They are for dale on eBay.
