heres a few closed Pontiac dealerships, in that ZONE, there was and is a TON closed and closing, all makes
Downtown Pontiac (4141 Lindell Boulevard, also once the home of Boulevard Motors, a now-defunct Mercedes-Benz dealer);
B. P. B. Pontiac (1201 S. Florissant Road in Ferguson);
Barton Pontiac (first at the S. Florissant address, then, from 1966 to 1971, at 9001 W. Florissant); Hubler Pontiac (at the West Florissant address until the early 1980s)...
Warner Pontiac was a takeover of the old Hubler Pontiac, but Warner--whose logo did have the Gateway Arch incorporated in its design--it became a used car lot in the '90s and disappeared (literally) shortly afterward...
>> Moore Cadillac-Pontiac, now vacant
In Kirkwood.....CARSON PONTIAC 10230 Manchester Rd. Kirkwood, MO 1958 to 1974-ish. sold to Don Darr Pontiac 6303 South Lindbegh, franchise then to Bommarito, then to Sinclair. ( this info from a family member of Carson, may be able to contact for a dealer number, was on another site
Another>> old (Pontiac)-Buick-GMC building that was once Thoms Pontiac (again cattycorner to the old Grebe Oldsmobile store)!
>>> Vincel Pontiac ( think this was a stand alone Pontiac dealershi) (now McMahon Buick-GMC on South Kingshighway near Fyler)
MORE>> Another Pontiac dealer (one where my dad didn't work) that I remember quite well was Thoms Pontiac. The ad campaign wouldn't pass muster with the politically correct, because their major commercial featured a guy playing Indian tom-toms and chanting "THOMS, THOMS, THOMS, THOMS." The tag line? "HIM HEEP BIG TRADER." (Of course, Pontiac was still building Chieftain, Super Chief and Star Chief cars back in that day! Could you imagine introducing the Pontiac line today???)
