Coastal Chevrolet

In 1968, Dan Vaden, already a veteran car dealer with 15 years experience, arrived in Savannah to open Dan Vaden Chevrolet, Inc. in what was then a rural area on Abercorn Extension. Dan Vaden Chevrolet began operation with only a small, temporary four-office building. Today it is the largest Chevrolet dealership in southeast coastal Georgia.

In addition to new and used vehicle sales and service, Dan Vaden operates a large parts distribution network throughout southeast Georgia as well as a large, modern repair and painting facility.

In 1980 Mr. Vaden became one of the first Isuzu dealers in the nation and in 1983 he purchased a Datsun dealership in Savannah that later became Daniel Nissan. In 1988 Vaden Suzuki was opened next to Vaden Isuzu and in 1991 Vaden Hyundai was opened, also in Savannah.
