These vehicles came without a valve cover on the engine
In 1919 the local Chevrolet franchise was Hudson & Stockum, Columbia Garage located at 102 Fessenden which is where the 7/11 is now at St Louis and Lombard. Peninsula Motor Sales bought out the franchise and moved to John and Lombard April 30, 1920.
Apparently Columbia and Peninsula first operated out of the same building. When Peninsula moved to 212 S Jersey by April 1920 people thought that Columbia moved with them, so an ad was placed in the St. Johns Review to explain Columbia did not move to 212 S Jersey.
