Weren't they in Grand Rapids? I remember the name, I believe that they later became the Olds dealer by Eastbrook Mall, S%#T, can't remember their name either, and I use to go there alot...looking at '79 H/O's and a '80 442, trying to see if I could afford one! Dale Baker Oldsmobile! I'm pretty sure was formerly Rowe Olds.

" Dale Baker Oldsmobile was started by Dale Baker in 1975. Isuzu was added in 1982 and Hyundai in 1993. The dealership is one of the oldest and best known in the region."

Cant confirm it, but the pics confirm it. I didnt see the other post but a protecto plate with the code 014 is proof enough for me. I dont think that was something the dealer would mess up. There may have been two Ahrens dealers in Madison. Not uncommon to have two or three dealerships, sometimes in the same town if its a major metropolitan area.

Since there is not a compreshensive list of Oldsmobile dealers and their zone codes, Ive been collecting them when I find them online. So far with the help of Kurt Shubert, I have over 200 dealers/codes on a spreadsheet. Reason I am doing this is, no one has done it yet, it needs to be done, and guys with POP dealers codes but no dealer name can find their dealer.
So if you know your dealer name and zone code (5 digit code on the window sticker/buildsheet/protecto-plate) please post them here.
Thanks

My bad. Thanks for the correction. I had a protect-o-plate booklet from another car in my McKelvey dealer folder by mistake. So now I want to know who's dealership is #12-185 because the page with the dealer name and address is missing from the booklet. It's from a 1964 Cutlass that I bought in Kirkwood Missouri and owned in the early 80's. The McKelvey-Kessler folder I have came from a 1964 F-85 I bought from a neighbor when I lived in Ferguson, MO. Excellent cars that I wish I still had. Both were totalled by careless oncoming drivers....and this was before cell phones and other modern distractions.

John, you might contact Supercarsunlimited located in Portland Oregon. I know Greg has been in the Portland area for a long time and may have or know somebody who might have pictures of that dealership. There's several communities that have kinda been swallowed by Portland as they grew together. Beaverton is one of them.
