Brant Oldsmobile
West View, Pittsburgh, PA
Corner of Perry Highway (US 19) and Bellevue Road
This dealer was here from at least 1934 (oldest date I can find) until 1991-1992 (I'm not sure the exact date they closed, but I did see a 1992 Eighty Eight with their sticker once).
I'm not sure of the zone code, but I'm pretty sure it was a member of the "Grand Olds Gang" if that rings a bell for anyone--similar to the "Reliable Men of Olds" in Cincy, this was Western PA's dealer network.

Camp-Burdette Oldsmobile
39 Virginia Street West
Charleston, West Virginia 25301
Camp-Burdette became Britt Oldsmobile Inc. in March, 1960
Britt became Royal Olds in late '70's or early '80's.
C&O Motors
516 MacCorkle Ave. SW
St. Albans, West Virginia25177
Sorry, no dealer codes.
I worked as a lot boy at Britt Olds after graduating high school in the summer of '67.
Had to wash every new car on the lot every morning.
I remember drooling over all the 4-4-2's.
I washed the '67 4-4-2 I ended up owning 2 years later and still own today.

Interesting 1970cs. Van-Trow also had the Cadillac/Oldsmobile dealership in Monroe. LA where I was raised and lived until 1979. The family actually lived in Monroe. I think they are a Toyota dealership now.

I bought mine from:
Jame Magee Chevrolet, Inc.
551 Highway 51
Brookhaven, MS 39601
Dealer Code: 19 452
One of the families that owned the Van-Trow dealerships were the Trowbridges from Jackson, MS. Mr. Trowbridge's son Toby was the Sheriff of Madison County, MS. until his retirement several years ago.

Dellen Olds Inc.
Indianapolis, Indiana
11-117
Looked, but wasn't sure if previously mentioned, as it's a long string.
Sourced from my 65 Jetstar1 Warranty book, delivered March 4, 1965.
I think I have a warranty issue, if they are still open.

Hey, Allan. My '69's a Jack Carter car too. I was just wondering if you'd been in touch with them, and if you were able to get any useful info on your car . IIRC I contacted them shortly after I got this car, some 11 years ago, and they were none too cooperative. Was your experience any better?

Image no longer works, so may have been listed, but if not this dealer was on E. Cleveland Ave. Was still there in 1986 as my parents bought a Cutlass Ciera from them then. Later the location became, and still is a, Honda dealer. I was at the Honda dealer around 2002 and they had a flower planter by their front desk that still had an Olds emblem on it. I tried to get it from them but they would not give, or sell it, to me
Next to the location was the Newark Drive-In. The only drive-in movie I ever saw was there - Clash of the Titans in the early 80's. Not the best movie, but still fun experience.
