My 67's Protecto-plate led me to drive down to Salem and take a look at the old Capital Chevrolet dealership building. The following is from a previous post.
Its about an hour drive when the traffic is good and the weather was great so it was nice drive. I had decided to visit the dealership where the truck had been sold when it was a shiny new model. I had looked up the address (photo 1) from the owners manual on the interweb and it looked like it was still there. I thought it would be cool to get pictures of the Burban next to the building if possible. Driving into Salem I passed the current version of Capital Chevrolet and I decided that if I could get a picture of the old building I would stop and get one of the current one too.
I found the address and got lucky enough to park next to the address number on the building. (Photo 2 circled) I had to get the pictures from across the street. Having to wait for the traffic to clear between the traffic lights turned this into about a 45 minute photo shoot. I don't know for sure but it looks to me as if the dealership was likely the whole block at some point. The address being in the middle of the block may have been the original location and as the business grew they took over the adjacent properties and built new buildings around the block. (Photo 3 & 4)
