Mellas Motors

[SIPLOWGUY]

My 69 Fury was purchased 7/31/69 from Mellas Motors, Inc. They were located at 230 South 5th Avenue, Mount Vernon, NY 10550. The car was sold by P.G. Mellas. Does anyone have information on this store?

I can't find much but the building is for sale. $3.7 million. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/230-234-S-5th-Ave-Mount-Vernon-NY/37913185/

I did find a wedding announcement for the owner's daughter from 2007, but couldn't read because it requires signing up for the NY Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/06/fashion/weddings/06mellas.html

Apparently, before that, the dealer there was Crabtree & O'Keefe.

Thank you, Big John! I found the wedding announcement too but wasn't able to read it for the same reason. I also found the owner's wife's obituary, Anastasia Mellas passed on this year (2025). The daughter is a dentist with offices in New Jersey. Other than that, I couldn't find much.
