The approximate first day of business at Dana Chevrolet Inc. was August 23, 1966. It had two used fleet vehicle dealership facilities at 8806 Long Beach Boulevard and 2955 E. Firestone Boulevard that were also acquired as a result of the Enoch Chevrolet acquisition.

Dana began advertising itself as “Your New Camaro Headquarters.” The dealership also stocked an assortment of 4-speed and automatic 1966 Impalas in a range of colors. They quickly blew out in October that year.

Interestingly, Peyton’s connection to Carroll Shelby resulted in the “enemy” brand of Ford being included in the inventory. This was usually unthinkable back in the days of strong brand loyalty, but Peyton liked anything fast. Dana Chevrolet ordered in a brand-new GT350 in September 1966 and also had a used 1963 Shelby Cobra Roadster for sale.
