How would I find out where my Dart was sold new? I know it was in WA state, but don't know the dealers name. Anyone know?
You would need a record from or mentioning the selling dealership. Original window sticker, factory invoice to dealership, dealership invoice to client as a few possible examples.
Mike...thanks for replying. The original owner I bought it from lives in a small town, with no dealerships, so it would have to be a nearby town dealership. I contacted the OO and he can't remember where his Dad bought it, but figures the dealership is out of business.Unless you know what city your car was sold out of it's pretty hard to find out where.
My 66 was sold in Washington state also I believe. I have mentioned the dealer with no response. That happens.Mike...thanks for replying.

I would have to look it up.Do you know where in WA yours was sold?
I looked through my old posts. I must have posted it before the software change or I just added the info to another thread. ThanksDo you know where in WA yours was sold?
OK, thanks Mike. If you remember the dealership name, it might help in my search.I looked through my old posts. I must have posted it before the software change or I just added the info to another thread. Thanks
If it's a 65, you can send off to Chrysler Historical. I got the info for my 66 Barracuda. They sent the IBM punch card and a sheet decoding the punch card. Included was all the options as well as the dealership where it was sold and the date shipped. IIRC it was $45. Here's the link. Right above the glare spot, you can see the region and dealer code. My was originally sold at Brooks Motor's in Jacksonville, FL.

I sent off to Chrysler Historical for the info on my long departed 65 GT and the 65 Barracuda I still have. They sent me a bunch of info, including the original selling dealer. Don't know if they're still doing it but it was $45 per car and worth it to me. Hope it helps.

EDIT: ^^^^^ beat me to it lol!
Thanks guys. The page "66fyssh" quotes is still alive, so I'm assuming they still have the service. My car was built in the US, but it and I are now in Canada. I hope that doesn't change things.
I don't know if this will help you. I have a 1970 B Body car that was purchased at Don Bryan Motors Inc. 130 North Main Street. Omak, Washington State. I believe his dealership number was 98841. It's not far from the Canadian border.
Thanks. That number sounds like a zip code....could the dealer numbers actually be the zip code of the dealer's location?
IF YOUR INTERESTED I HAVE SOME NEW NOS CAST LETTERS DEALERSHIP LICENCE PLATE FRAMES FROM DON BRYAN MOTORS INC. OMAK WASH. 50.00 PAIR . I BOUGHT MOST OF ALL THEIR NOS PARTS YEARS AGO WHEN THEY CLOSED THE DEALER DOWN AND HAVE 2 PAIRS LEFT. MESSAGE ME HEREmy mistake 98841 is the Zip Code. I should have said 59240
