Sacramento Motors ? New Mexico ?

I got my car from Albuquerque NM. On the trunklid was a plate that said "Sacramento Motors "
I googled Sacramento Motors and came up with " Sacramento Chev Olds " in Alamogordo NM. Is this the same place ? Can anyone tell me more about this dealership ?
I think this is where my 63 Dynamic 88 was delivered new.

I don't know anything about this dealership as it appears to be long gone, but it's certainly reasonable that a car dealer in Alamogordo would use the name "Sacramento" as the mountain range immediately to the east of the city and which overlooks the city is called the Sacramento Mountains.

It also appears that this dealership is possibly the descendant of Sacramento Motors as it's the Chevy dealer there. You might give them a call and see if they know anything about Sacramento Motors. The worst they can do is hang up on you!

Lookie what I found

Found this in an antique/gift shop yesterday in Lincoln, New Mexico. I saw it and immediately thought of you and your car. It is original (no one would reproduce these) and in very nice shape.

If you're interested, since it would make a nice go-with for your car, I'd be glad to sell it to you for what I paid plus shipping. It was $15 plus tax, making it $15.86. Shipping would be $2.60, so make it $18.50 total. Paypal is fine if you would want to go that way. Check/money order is fine, too.

Send me a PM if interested.
