eaglescout526 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Not the original dealer for Chunk but it’s a good piece of home for my girlfriend. Plus Chunk lived in WA most of his life anyways. Will get my MJ one soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyav8r Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Pete - A little off topic but tied to your first post - Don Drennen in Hoover was the last of the Drennen dealerships who were among the oldest businesses in the Birmingham, originally selling horse-drawn carriages and wagons. There is now a brewery in what was the stables for a livery service that was adjacent to the Drennen properties. I believe it may have been Drennen’s livery service but can’t say for sure. When I was a good bit younger, Drennen had a Cadillac dealership and a Buick dealership across the street from each other in downtown Birmingham. My father was a Buick man and bought several Buick’s from Drennen. Don Drennen was an offshoot of the downtown dealerships, set up in what was at that time the fast-growing Hoover area. I don’t remember when they picked up the Jeep dealership but we almost leased a Grand Cherokee there about 25-30 years ago. They lost the Jeep line in 2009 when automakers consolidated their efforts into larger dealerships (the start of the mega-dealers) and then were bought by Hendricks in 2011.

DrSparky Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 My '89, that I inherited from my grandfather, came from Galloway Motors. The unfortunate thing is still 'social distancing' from it's transmission. Someday I'll put it back in and enjoy driving it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a '87 short bed Comanche I have had for 32 years. It doesn't have any Dealer tag on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
