Hey All,

My 50 Commodore has a faint sticker on back of the on the panel below the decklid. Says: Birch

In

Berwyn

I know there's a Berwyn, Ill, a Chicago burb, just curious to know if anyone has any info on the dealership and its history.

Before I take it apart to paint, I'm gonna see of a graghics store can reproduce it. Some of the history I can keep with the car. Gotta get the 254 through the machine shop first.

    Quite a few years ago, the HET club produced a Hudson Dealer listing. If the signage on your car is for a Hudson dealer versus a used car lot you may find the original information you seek in that listing. DJ Kava of Texas would be another source of this type of information.



    Good Luck

    You might want to contact the Berwyn Historical Society. There are still a few vintage buildings on Ogden Avenue that were used by car dealers. I remember being in one that was Art Deco style and had a really wild ceramic tile showroom floor.

    The Chicago Historical Society has a great research library, much of it is online. They would have the City Directory for that year and businesses would be listed in it.
