I may still have some misc paperwork from Rockcastle and will check it and post it.
Almost bought a new 83 HO there, as I used to pass it everyday and lived 1/2 mile from there.

that is very cool any info appreciated. I google earth street view the old address and it is long torn down with some apartment building or something there now. Any info or pictures of Rockcastle would be appreciated. Someday when I get back to Kentucky I’ll have to search the shops or hit up the Hostorical society on the dealership. Matt
Matt,
the dealer code in 1970 was 09-729
i believe they started out on Madison Ave in Covington Ky then moved to Florence Ky on Industrial Rd around 1979-80. Haven’t been out that way in sometime.
The old place was a used car lot for awhile, then became remodeled inside for bar / nite clubs under different names over the years. It was pretty run down last time I was past there a few yrs ago.
I did find this envelop that I would be more than happy to send you. Just send me a pm with your address and I will get it to you no cost involved. Just glad it will be going to a good home!
By the way, what yr Olds do you have?
And next time I get out that way, I will take a few pics of it currently for you.
Thanks

Ok will pm you tonight the car is a 1968 442. That change to Florence messes me up and is why I think the dealership building is gone. The car is a real 442 but because the original motor is gone I took liberties and am going a tad bit further on the OEM restoration putting w30 specs into it. Seriously though thank you to the bottom of my heart and if you ever see any Rockcastle stuff I’d be very interested in it!!!!!!!👍 matt
I noticed that loads of dealers have a year beside their name. What does the year designation denote exactly?
The guy that's populating the list wanted the year of the car that was sold. The dealerships will change names but codes may not. Also dealers come and go over the last 50 years of production.
Thought that I had submitted this info previously but is not included in your spreadsheet. New car purchase (1967 442) invoice and POP indicates:
Black Chevrolet Olds. Inc.
213 Jefferies Blvd.
Walterboro, South Carolina
Dealer No. 16-079
While looking at your spreadsheet, noticed a Black Cad-Oldsmobile Inc. in Greensboro, NC, dealer number 16-077, wonder if it may be the same family ownership.
Any chance you may have an original tag frame or dealer emblem from 1967. We have a 67 442 conv, that was sold new at your dealership.It was also one of the cars you had in the Muscle Car Review Magazine
I believe I may have talked with you or someone who knows you and the car before! That's the Cameo Ivory vert with Power windows & Seat, TH400, AM-FM...I sold it in 1993. That car actually did not come from our dealership; I purchased it from a private party in Cary, NC in 1984. I'll look and see if I have any more license frames. I do know I have a few front license plates left.
