Default Roseland Pontiac / Chicago, IL

Roseland Pontiac has been in business for 102 years in the same location and owned by the same family. Of course I know there weren't Pontiac dealers 102 years ago. They started out selling Buicks and switched to Pontiac when they were introduced. They were months short of being a 100 year GM dealer when Pontiac was shut down. I stopped in there on their last day of business as a Pontiac Dealer. Ironically it was Halloween. It's still operating today as a used car dealer and an auto repair shop. The show room is a time capsule. On the website if you look at the Buick Dealer shot from the 20's and the pictures I took a couple of years ago you can see that the wall designs and even the floor pattern are still the same. Go to this website for more pictures.
