Hey folks! Long time fan of the site, and fellow enthusiasts….but new member.
I?ll kick this off with curiosity about 1 car in particular. I read that Balzekas Motors (a Chrysler dealer) in Chicago had sponsored and/or supplied a 68 Hemi Dart. Does anyone have any photos or info about this car? Links to old photos no longer work. I?m intrigued because Balzekas is as supposedly a crosstown rival to Grand Spaulding?? only what seems odd is they were a Chrysler Plymouth dealer, not a Dodge dealer. So as I understand it, they should have had an impossible time getting a new Hemi Dart, especially considering Norm had a considerable amount of influence with ChryCo in 68, and he would have taken major issue with them getting their hands on a hard-to-get Dodge (because of franchise rules etc). Any insight would be appreciated Last edited by Jon Mopar; 06-18-2024 at 10:37 PM. |

Mark Janaky had said previously that he was not entirely sure that was the correct dealer for the car that is claimed to be the "Balzekas" car.
