Hi Jerry, hopefully someone can point you to the correct one. In the mean time, look at this. A list/catalog, that one of our members has put together over the years.
Could it be Slemker Pontiac Olds GMC? Eaton is a small town (only about 8,000 today), so I would think there would not have been more than one Olds dealer in town.
The best I can do is try to read what it says in the photo. The top number appears to be 456-1191. For the bottom number, the last two digits are hard to read, but it looks like 252-6160.
Why do you need the phone numbers? Are you planning to call them to arrange a test drive of a new Oldsmobile?
Just reaching for straws right now. I received a reply from Benson Ford Research Center today that said "The records pre-1967 are not known to have survived." Not what I wanted to hear. Thanks for the info.
Interesting. I've found some newspaper ads by Slemker in archived issues of the Dayton Daily News, but they only go back to about 1990 or so. I still have to believe that there was only one Oldsmobile dealer in a town as small as Eaton, Ohio, but perhaps it operated under a different name prior to 1983. Slemker bought it then and changed the name? Doesn't help the OP with the actual name of the dealership in 1970. I do think that trying to find newspapers from that time that might have contained advertisements is one way to go.
