Build Sheet Decoded
I have a 1968 C3, and the build sheet shows it was shipped to Zone 18, Dealer number 447. Does someone know where that dealer is, or a site that has reference info?
Thanks.
Thanks.

The Zones remained "the zones", although they were combined with others over the years.
The dealers within each Zone were assigned a number. I believe these were originally assigned alphabetically, so within Zone 13, Dealer #001 might be Aardvark Chevrolet. Dealer 002 might be Baker Chevrolet and so on.
BUT, if a dealership was sold, lets say Aardvark Chevrolet, Zone 13, dealer 001, was sold to Zebra Chevrolet, it would STILL be dealer 001.
Also, don't forget that there were dealers #1-200-300 within EACH Zone.
I remember that in 78, when the Pace Cars came out, GM made about 6,600 of them, one for every dealer in the US and Canada. There were probably a lot more than 6,600 dealers back in the 50's and 60's. Chuck
