Default Trying to track down my car's original dealership

In fact I know the dealership name, but apparently it is long since gone out of business or changed names. I have the original owners manual and stapled inside the front cover is a business card. The information on the card is as follows...

The name of the salesman on the card was HAROLD "Van" LANDINGHAM
The dealership apparently was a Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Chevrolet and OK-Used Cars

Bill Holler Motor Sales Co.
550 South Boulevard
DELAND FLORIDA
Phone Business (904)734-2661
Home (904)734-6840

Does anyone know of this dealership?

Well I answered my own question, I tried a telephone number search on the business number and found the dealership had changed names and locations. It moved about 5 miles South (on the same road) and changed names to Fred Bondesen Chevrolet Olds Cadillac.
I even found a phone number for the salesman.
Ain't the internet something!!! :cheers: to myself!

Good deal Steve! Hey, if you have the zone / dealer number etc, you should enter it into the dealer database over at http://www.ncrs.org. ~Juliet

That's the problem, the few tattered remnants of my build sheet have no readable information relating to Zone or Dealer Number. I've been trying to find that information out, so I could fill in some blanks.

Steve, if you can't get a match over at ncrs.org, try Triple A Enterprises. Dobbins also does window sticker repros, but I believe you have to have the data for him.

If Triple A has the dealer number and zone, they will tell you, but you may have to buy a window sticker reproduction to get them. The cost is pretty nominal, and the repro window stickers are kind of a cute novelty anyway. I also know the name and address of my car's selling dealer, but they did not have the data.
