Anthony, about your signature: Does the "E" behind your 1971 Porsche 911 stands for "Einspritzung" (that's German for (fuel) injection) ?
18th and Jackson might of been their original location, as the Google maps street view doesnt correlate with the picture posted of the dealership from the 70's. If you look at the street view of 18th and Jackson, the brick building on the corner looks like it could of housed a dealership at one time
I don't remember them at 18th and Jackson but when they were at the Auto Mall the address would have been 6??? Essington Ave. Recently there was a Kia dealer in there. I will see what I can dig up.I remember them there like 1968or 69 till they closed. They were on the corner of 67th and Essington so the address would have been 66?? Essington.
Jason, Your right, that street address given above it wrong. It does not go with the picture posted. That picture that Rob posted above is the dealer emblem on my car....originally sold there, says so on the buildsheet. I think it was resold to Peter James Buick within the Automall around 1977. Erik, Yes that's what it stands for. They offered T, E, and S models. E and S were fuel injected. PM me if you'd like more info on the car...I love it. No dealer emblem on the 911 though..... I have no clue where that car was sold originally at.
Rob, Thanks for posting this...I have never been able to find a picture of the dealership. Happen to have any others?
Anthony, if I remember correctly this was a postcard for sale (eBay) not too long ago. I collect all the photos I can find on the WWW of Buick -dealer emblems, -license plate frames and -postcards. This is the only one I have of Corleto. Some more on this dealer: http://forums.aaca.org/f177/phila-buick-dealership-320718.html#post994236
I love looking at old dealer pics then going on google street view to see if the building is still there. Many times it is but has been re-purposed. Even though many have been renovated, there are still clues it was a dealership originally.
How about this one. These were real brothers Amos and Andy Trotter. The dealership was renamed Trotter Buick in the 80's and then closed when the GM dealers here were consolidated during the government bailout.
Here's a picture of what was Hagstrom Buick. This was taken today with my cell phone. Who knows, Starc's 65 GS could of been parked in that showroom when it was new. Sadly, it will probably be razed and get replaced with another Nissan dealership.
Another Corleto Buick emblem. It was on a 64 Wildcat I parted out. Also Spires Buick of San Antonio. Chris
About 6 years ago I found an NOS dealer plate for my GS. I cut the posts off of the back and installed magnets to hold it on the trunk for shows only. Recently I purchased what may be the last 2 NOS dealer plates that I could find. What are the odds of finding these?
I don't have an extra. I've got a Drennen tag frame around my tag. My car ,too was sold by Don Drennen . I'll keep an eye out for another Drennen trunk badge for you.
I have some NOS diecast dealer emblems, "Dearden Morrisville PA". Got these from an auction at Dearden Buick in Langhorne. I don't know if these relate to their Buick dealership or some other activity. Any Philly area folks recognize this?

I Just found this thread Hagstrom Buick was on New York ave in Huntington Station when that 65 gs was sold Used to go there to look at 65 Riviera gs And when 66 came out They moved to rice building I would say in 69-71 after that there was a speedo repair shop there for years Julian I think was his name I have to pass by and ask him if he has any old pic's of the place http://www.incomus.com/hagstrom-buick-inc-huntington-new-york
Steve if you happen to go to any swap meets and find a Hagstorm Buick deal emblem could you purchase it because I would like to put one on on 65 GS Thanks,Starc
