These two Are of Dealers long gone.

The bldg with the red awning is a local appliance store. It was a Pontiac / Oldsmobile /GMC dealer from sometime in the 60's until 1981 or so. My dad bought our 69 Catalina there and our 78 Catalina there. It was originally Ford Bros then became Royal In about 1979.



The second photo was The Olds dealer prior to it's being moved to the first bldg pic'd and it's new owner. It was also a service point and loading stop for a bus line that I don't know the name of. It's currently an exhaust shop. They do most of my custom bent work. Note the house built up against the bldg that is not accessable from the shop. I've always wondered why it was constructed that way.
