Finally, A Chevrolet Dealership Has Cars That Someone Wants To Buy
How’d you like to buy a new Chevrolet? A real Chevrolet. Not a Daewoo. Not a New GM assemblage of lowest-bidder Chinese electronics and focus-grouped inoffensiveness. A brand-new Chevrolet from the time when Chevrolet ruled the world with a cast-iron fist. A brand-new 1958 Chevrolet. With four miles on the odometer.
Ray and Mildred Lambrecht were the owners of Lambrecht Chevrolet, a dealership that closed decades ago. When they closed the dealership, they didn’t dispose of the inventory. They retained it. On September 28, in Pierce, Nebraska, it will go up for sale. OldCarsWeekly has more details and a complete story, but here are some of the untitled, like-new cars for sale:
1958 Cameo
1964 Impala 4spd
1978 Corvette Pace Car
Vega station wagon 17 miles
1964 Corvair van 14 miles

I know, right? A NEARLY NEW CHEVETTE SCOOTER. There are also plenty of ’57 Chevys and the like that were traded in fifty years ago and will also be for sale.
It should be noted that, although you’re taking delivery of a new car from dealer stock, you won’t be able to just gas up your ’64 Chevy, or even your ’84 Cavalier, and go. These cars are chock full of perishable seals and rubber items and there’s a solid chance that they’ve all perished. Still, as a restoration project, this is much easier than taking a 100,000-mile six-trey Chevy that’s been liberally salted and crashed.
We’ll keep you posted on the auction results as they occur.

"A Chevrolet Dealership That Has Cars Someone Wants to Buy" followed a few lines fown by the words "Vega Station Wagon". I'd like to meet THAT particular someone. In all seriousness I would completely buy one of those trucks and would pay a substantial amount for it, but something tells me they will be well out of my price range.
Does the Cameo pickup (with one mile on the odometer!) have a big dent in the front of the roof, or does it have a vinyl top that's bubbled up/distorted?
