Here are some pics of the old Al Gallman Pontiac Inc, located at 3621 Cleveland Ave, Fort Myers, FL.
I think they were there from the 60's thru to 90's. Then the franchise was sold to Galeana who moved it out of the building to a further south location. Then Galeana became a Kia/Crysler/Dodge store. And Dixie Buick GMC became the BPGMC dealership for the area and still is.

Today, Gallmanvillle (as it used to say on their logo) is Heritage Auto Group. Its owned by a doctor that dabbles in old cars, sells used cars, mechanic shop and body shop. (its a Carstar bodyshop). I actually had them do the metal work on my car and paint it. They do a lot of restoration work. The place is still pretty big, all the original buildings are still standng and have never been remodled. If you "google earth" it you can see the lay out.

Here is a pic of the dealership, the old service entrance and one of the old paint booths that they still use. The only reminace of Pontiac being there is a Rallye II wheel which is bolted to the wall behind the bodyshop which is used as a hose reel.

That is cool. I have been trying to find some stuff from them. But nobody has come forward with any tag frames or trunk "stick 'ems".
My dad had the detail shop for them from 75-77. So when I was a kids I had kinds of Al Gallman stuff. Pencil Sharpeners, Key chains... When I moved out my mom liquidated all of it

All I have left is a 77 GP postcard.

If you would like to see more of it let me know, I can easily get more pics.

Here are some pics of Cooper Chevrolet. I am not sure what year they are from. I am sure the vehicles can date the pics. I think they were located in Marianna Florida.
Sorry I dont know why they came out so small?

Here is a pic of a guy taking delivery of a 63(?) Pontiac. I dont know the dealer. Another of Harrison Chevy. A pic of some kids on their muscle cars at a HS in Florida 1969-70. The last is the Jacksonville Florida Chevy Parts Distrubution Center in 1960.
