Did a little homework for you and I came up with this postcard from a vintage postcard website.
A 1972 dealership postcard for 14.95
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Pierce Chevrolet
[QUOTE=pop23235;1597602784]Is that it??[/QUOTE
i was a young project manager who worked for the construction company that built a new facility for Pierce Chevrolet/Buick in Pawtucket in about 1972/1973. It was a state of the art facility between the river and Route 95. They were previously in an old building in downtown Pawtucket for many years. They were a Chevrolet and Buick dealer. Bob Pierce Jr. Was the owner and I believe he inherited the business from his father. The general manager was a fellow named Ray Washburn.
They had a new 1974 mahogany/saddle leather Coupe that I bought new from them in 1975.
Very nice people but somehow the dealer did not survive there for long (less than 10 years). They likely over extended themselves. I think they resurfaced in another facility in Franklin Mass but I do not know any of the circumstances. They we not in Franklin for long either.

I grew up outside of Boston and the word was that the streets of Boston was the perfect place to park cars that were having issues or were heavily financed. Problem solved!

After the '65 vanished I replaced it with my current '66. I parked that one in a locked barn in Chestnut Hill and took the MTA get the car when I needed it. Only bright spot in the story is we took my to be wife's wedding dress out of the car when we parked it outside her place on Commonwealth Ave. Always have had some anti-theft system sense.

I was looking to see if anyone can help me to track down records on Pierce Chevrolet. I have my shipping report from NCRS.
My 68 can came from that dealership
Thanks Bruce
