Default Austin, Texas people please help!!!

I am looking for a dealership from where a car was purchased new in 1968 from Armstrong-Johnson Chevrolet in Austin, Texas. If anyone can give me some info on them or if they are even still in business it be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Darrell

Have you done all the standard stuff? (ie. Google, Yellow Pages on-line etc.)

I do not think a Chevy dealer by that name (still) exists in Austin. Big ones are Capitol, Henna, Champion.

As far as dealerships that are gone... I'm a poor source as I've only lived in Austin for 3 years.
