I don't know about the dealership's fate (many of them bit the dust in the '70s), but I did find this older thread about your car where the previous(?) owner Phillibuster recounted its history.

Very cool car.

Awesome story...

[PettyMower]

Delta Dodge was located in Davis, CA.

[ht4spd307]

My service book say's Brentwood

[PettyMower]

My service book say's Brentwood

Delta Garage - Brentwood
Delta Dodge - Davis

[ht4spd307]

What about brentwood dodge is there such a dealer or is it the delta garage

[PettyMower]

It was listed as Delta Garage.

[ht4spd307]

It was listed as Delta Garage.

Sorry for being a dumb ass ! so what your saying delta garage and brentwood dodge are the same dealership is this correct ? if so was it listed in the same era or was brentwood dodge a later name for the delta garage dealership thanks ahead

Two different dealerships, two different towns. Both were in business in 1970.

Delta Garage - Brentwood, CA
Delta Dodge - Davis, CA

[ht4spd307]

I'm asking about Brentwood dodge not delta dodge

[PettyMower]

I did find two mentions of a "Brentwood Dodge Chrysler Jeep", one in Stockton, CA and another in Brentwood, CA.  But no newspaper ads to confirm. They were only mentions found in a Google search.  And one included this phone number: (925)634-9900.

This info might help your investigation.

Brentwood is 55-60 miles to the south of Davis and 25-30 miles to the west of Stockton.

The name "delta" is in common use, then and now, throughout an area about 100 miles by 100 miles, because that's what it is, the Delta region.

These three cities are three very distinct communities, no blending or blurred lines, then or now, they are stand alone communities.

Area codes change over time.  In 1970 the area code for Brentwood was 415, Davis was 916, and Stockton 209.  Only Stockton's has stayed the same.

all i need to know is if ***(delta garage and brentwood dodge)*** are the same dealer never mentioned delta dodge in my posts

[held1823]

that confirmation is what petty mower stated he had not yet found definitive proof of being the case

the later reply from someone else is offering geographic details that might aid petty mower in the search for your answer

part of what makes the task difficult is a car may have been originally destined for where the slip list shows, but allocated somewhere entirely different

mine, 409053, was bought new twenty miles from its indiana home, while early info from the ship showed it as being a washington state car

[ht4spd307]

Ok thank you all for your replies guess it's one of those things which will never be known but by the sounds of it it may be what i was getting at it may have been a later replacement of the original delta garage but here's a question when did dodge & jeep start selling cars together at the same dealership maybe this will narrow down the dates a bit

[68X426]

They may have sold cars together at dealerships before 1987, but Chrysler officially bought American Motors in 1987 and completed their merger by 1990. 

The Jeep Eagle division of American Motors became the Jeep we know today and was being sold at Chrysler dealerships in 1989.
