Photograph article dated December 4, 1962 partially reads, "More than 12,000 people visited the Tom Carrell Chevrolet agency, 753 San Fernando Rd., San Fernando, Saturday as the firm marked a quarter century of business operation with a huge 25th anniversary celebration party... Among the guests at a preview showing Friday evening, were the first two buyers of Chevrolets from the firm when it started business, and each was presented with a sack of 25 silver dollars by Carrell. First customer was Camerino S. Lopez, Pinney St., Pacoima; second customer was W. M. Bew, who now resides at 8640 Kester Ave., Van Nuys. Both are still customers of Tom Carrell Chevrolet." Pictured are, left to right, Bew, Carrell and Lopez.
