Sorry, not at this time. They moved to a new location in 1963. I've attached a newspaper ad from the move. Strangely the original site still exist, while their new location has since been torn down, and is now an Aldi Food Store. What's the delivery date on your car? I grew up in Blue Island and have been to both locations. If it's from the first location I could get a photo the next time I'm over there. They moved around Feb 20,1963. Both locations were on Western Ave. about a mile apart.

Found this picture of Borek's second location just before the building was torn down.

I am pretty sure this building once housed Pontiac dealer Willis Motor Company in North Canton, Ohio. I think the address is 202 W Maple. Building has since been torn down.

Here's the original showroom as it looks today.



This was the original Service Dept. Don't know when they tore it down, oddly they left the foundation and concrete floor. I remember a brand new brown 1959 Pontiac station wagon sitting just inside the garage door, the whole front clip was smashed from an accident.



This is a 1931 phonebook listing for same dealership when it was Oakland/Pontiac.

Good info Bill thanks! If I remember right, they tore out that service department in the late 70's. I grew up about 3 blocks from there but remember it as an auto repair shop.
