Default Who is the #1 Chevrolet dealership in the world for Corvette sales?

I know for many years it has been Kerbeck, but now there are quite a few that are either closing in or have surpassed them.
When I was a kid back in the late '60's and early '70's it was Palmyra Motors outside of Rochester NY. They are long gone today.
Anyone know who sold the most in 2012?

Default Who's on first?

Well, I notice that Corvette Conti (Coughlin) claims to be the largest west of D.C. That probably excludes Kerbeck, MacMulkin (who claim to be the 2nd largest in U.S.), & Criswell.

WADR, considering all the huge Chev dealers selling Corvettes back in the 60s and 70s, I can't imagine the one in Rochester NY being the largerst new Corv. seller. If you say so, but I doubt it.

A lot of Corvettes being sold in the Gwinnett county region.

Amazing Kerbeck sells over twice the amount of 2nd place

I believe Kerbeck has held the #1 spot for many years.
Looks like a close race for third place!

I don't think 627 vs 282 could be called "closing in."

Does anyone remember the name of Kerbeck before Kerbeck bought it? I believe Kerbeck's predecessor was the #1 Corvette dealer for years.

I just remembered- Malcom Conner!

Also, if you total the Hendrick dealerships, they would be # 2 at 484 Vettes sold.

I stand corrected! I didn't think they (Kerbeck) had that much of a lead!

Palmyra Motors had billboards stating that it was the "The Worlds Largest Corvette Dealer". Whether or not that was true...I am only going by what I read on it! They had a huge indoor showroom for their used Corvettes and a large outside lot full of new Corvettes. With over 100 Corvettes in stock at that time....I tended to believe it.

BTW. GM was big in Rochester NY at that time with Rochester Products and Delco.

Stay tuned, my friends. I think you'll see MacMulkin taking the top spot in 2013.

To most it will be the dealer that gives them the best deal...not always one of the major Corvette dealers we see here.
